In 2019,Asian Journal of Organic Chemistry included an article by Xia, Qiangqiang; Shi, Zuodong; Yuan, Jiangpei; Bian, Qilong; Xu, Yuanqing; Liu, Baoying; Huang, Yongwei; Yang, Xiaobo; Xu, Hao. Formula: C7H7BrO. The article was titled 《Visible-light-enabled selective oxidation of primary alcohols through hydrogen-atom transfer and its application in the synthesis of quinazolinones》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A visible-light-enabled selective oxidation of alcs. to aldehydes RCHO [R = (CH2)4CH3, Ph, 2-thienyl, etc.] was developed under transition-metal-free conditions. Utilizing eosin Y as the direct hydrogen-atom transfer (HAT) photocatalyst and mol. oxygen as the terminal oxidant, both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes could be obtained in moderate to good yields. Using this approach, various quinazolinones I [R1 = Me, Ph, 4-BrC6H4, etc.; R2 = H, Cl, Br, MeO, NO2; R3 = H, n-Pr, n-hexyl, etc.], including two real drug mols., were easily synthesized from the corresponding o-aminobenzamides and alcs. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as (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 efficient trimethylsilylation reaction with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amount of aspartic acid in acetonitrile.
