Zhu, Zhaodong;Gong, Yuxin;Tong, Weiqi;Xue, Weichao;Gong, Hegui published 《Ni-Catalyzed Cross-Electrophile Coupling of Aryl Triflates with Thiocarbonates via C-O/C-O Bond Cleavage》 in 2021. The article was appeared in 《Organic Letters》. They have made some progress in their research.COA of Formula: C15H16O The article mentions the following:
A synthesis of aryl thioesters RCOSR1 (R = Ph, 4-MeO2CC6H4, 4-BnOC6H4, etc.; R1 = n-hexyl, cyclohexyl, cyclopentyl, etc.) via nickel-catalyzed reductive coupling of aryl triflates with thiocarbonates was reported. Both electron-rich and -deficient aryl C(sp2)-O electrophiles as well as a class of O-tBu S-alkyl thiocarbonates were compatible with the optimized reaction conditions as evidenced by 49 examples. The reaction also proceeded with good chemoselective cleavage of the C-O bond with regard to thioesters. This work broadened the scope of nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-electrophile coupling reactions. And 4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol (cas: 599-64-4) was used in the research process.
4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol(cas:599-64-4) is a natural product found in Panax ginseng.COA of Formula: C15H16O 4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol is a useful reagent for preparing and characterizing aromatic polyphosphonates as high refractive index polymers.
