And the article was published in Inorganic Chemistry Communications in 2019. COA of Formula: C7H7BrO The author mentioned the following in the article:
Direct growth of Au nanoparticles on g-C3N4 has been successfully achieved by a facile in-situ redox reaction between oxidative Au precursor and reductive gases produced via urea decomposition for the first time, which exhibits the highly enhanced activity for selective alc. oxidations in aqueous medium under visible-light irradiation due to the synergetic effects of the increased surface area, the enhanced light-harvesting ability and the improved separation efficiency of photocharges. Meanwhile, this photocatalyst also demonstrates strong stability, showing good potential in practical applications. This work can deliver some new insights to develop highly active photocatalysts for organic transformation reactions. In addition to this study using (4-Bromophenyl)methanol, there are many other studies that have used (4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6COA of Formula: C7H7BrO) was used in this study.
(4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6) undergoes three-component reaction with acetylferrocene and arylboronic acid to give ferrocenyl ketones containing biaryls.COA of Formula: C7H7BrO It is used in the synthesis of amphiphilic, symmetric rod-coil, triblock copolymer of poly(9,9-didodecylfluorene-2,7-diyl) and poly(hydroxyl ethyl methacrylate)
