Singh, Pallavi; Peddinti, Rama Krishna published an article in Journal of Chemical Sciences (Berlin, Germany). The title of the article was 《In situ generated superacid BF3-H2O catalyzed alkylation of p-quinols with diaryl carbinols leading to triarylmethanes》.Product Details of 63012-03-3 The author mentioned the following in the article:
In this paper, a highly efficient and sustainable synthesis of triarylmethanes 4-R-3,6-(OH)2C6H2CH(4-R2C6H4)(4-R1C6H4) (R = Me, Et, i-Pr, Ph; R1 = H, F, Cl, Me; R2 = H, F, Cl, Me, Br) through the dehydrative coupling of p-quinols I with diaryl carbinols 4-R1C6H4CH(OH)(4-R2C6H4) is presented. The catalyst involved in this protocol is in situ generated superacid BF3-H2O from BF3-OEt2. Therefore, moisture has been used as an efficient initiator in this reaction system. A variety of diaryl carbinols and p-quinols have been investigated and found to be compatible to give the triarylmethanes in yields up to 96%.(3-Chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanol(cas: 63012-03-3Product Details of 63012-03-3) was used in this study.
(3-Chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanol(cas: 63012-03-3) belongs to hydroxy-containing compounds. Hydroxy groups participate in the dehydration reactions that link simple biological molecules into long chains. The joining of a fatty acid to glycerol to form a triacylglycerol removes the −OH from the carboxy end of the fatty acid.Product Details of 63012-03-3
