The title of the article was 《Electron-Withdrawing, Biphenyl-2,2′-diol-Based Compounds for Asymmetric Catalysis》.Application of 329735-68-4 The author mentioned the following in the article:
Facile synthetic routes to a chiral chloro-substituted biphenyl-2,2′-diyl hydrogen phosphate and a chiral O,O-biphenyl-2,2′-diyl phosphoramidothioate are described. The performance of these compounds as catalysts for the hydrophosphonylation of N-(2-methoxyphenyl) benzaldimine and the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of indole with chalcone was investigated. In the latter reaction, the chloro-substituted phosphoric acid derivative was found to rival the best Bronsted acid catalysts reported to date. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of (R)-3,3′-Di-tert-butyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl-2,2′-diol(cas: 329735-68-4Application of 329735-68-4)
(R)-3,3′-Di-tert-butyl-5,5′,6,6′-tetramethylbiphenyl-2,2′-diol(cas: 329735-68-4) belongs to phenols. Phenols are more acidic than typical alcohols. The acidity of the hydroxyl group in phenols is commonly intermediate between that of aliphatic alcohols and carboxylic acids (their pKa is usually between 10 and 12).Application of 329735-68-4
