Geng, Hui-Qing;Wu, Xiao-Feng published 《Copper-Catalyzed Alkoxycarbonylation of Alkyl Iodides for the Synthesis of Aliphatic Esters: Hydrogen Makes the Difference》 in 2021. The article was appeared in 《Organic Letters》. They have made some progress in their research.Formula: C15H16O The article mentions the following:
A copper-catalyzed alkoxycarbonylation transformation of unactivated alkyl iodides was developed. Various alkyl iodides were converted into the corresponding tert-Bu esters in good yields. NaOt-Bu acts as both a nucleophile and a base. Moreover, other types of aliphatic esters was also be obtained in moderated yields if extra alcs. are added. Both primary and secondary alkyl alcs. can react successfully.4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol (cas: 599-64-4) were involved in the experimental procedure.
4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol(cas:599-64-4) is a natural product found in Panax ginseng.Formula: C15H16O 4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol is a useful reagent for preparing and characterizing aromatic polyphosphonates as high refractive index polymers.
