Hosseini, Seyed Mohammad; Karimi, Meghdad; Safarifard, Vahid published an article in 2021. The article was titled 《Metal-organic framework/carbon nitride nanosheets composites (TMU-49/CNNSs): efficient photocatalyst for aerobic oxidation of alcohols under visible light》, and you may find the article in New Journal of Chemistry.Formula: C7H7BrO The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Oxidation reactions are considered as a challenging issue at the industrial scale. As several traditional methods are not biocompatible and safe, there is a need to develop sustainable photocatalytic approaches that employ mol. oxygen as the terminal oxidant. Herein, a cobalt-based metal-organic framework (MOF) was hybridized with graphitic carbon nitride nanosheets (CNNSs), namely TMU-49/CNNSs, using a facile in situ ultrasound-assisted synthesis, for the catalytic photo-oxidation of benzyl alc. under visible light irradiation The oxidation was carried out with variation of four parameters: solvent, catalyst amount, time and light source. Characterization of as-prepared samples was performed by Fourier-transform IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric anal., X-ray powder diffraction, N2 adsorption-desorption, SEM, and UV-visible diffuse reflection spectra. The TMU-49/CNNSs composite exhibited remarkable photocatalytic activity under visible light irradiation; the oxidation yield reached almost 80% for benzyl alc. after 3 h reaction. The superior photocatalytic activity of the MOF/CNNSs composite is attributed to enhanced separation of the photogenerated electron-hole pairs and increased visible-light absorption. After reading the article, we found that the author used (4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6Formula: C7H7BrO)
(4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6) undergoes three-component reaction with acetylferrocene and arylboronic acid to give ferrocenyl ketones containing biaryls.Formula: C7H7BrO It undergoes oxidation reaction in the presence of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-supported hydrogen peroxide, silica sulfuric acid and ammonium bromide to yield 4-bromobenzaldehyde.
