On December 31, 2021, Bhanderi, Khushboo; Ghalsasi, Prasanna S.; Inoue, Katsuya published an article.Computed Properties of 96-76-4 The title of the article was Nonconventional driving force for selective oxidative C-C coupling reaction due to concurrent and curious formation of Ag0. And the article contained the following:
Herein, reduction of [Ag(NH3)2]+ to Ag0 with concurrent oxidation of different phenols/naphthols to biphenyls was undertaken. The work was originated during careful observation of an undergraduate experiment-Tollen’s test-where silver mirror film deposition takes place on the walls of borosilicate glass test tube. When the same reaction was carried out in polypropylene (plastic-Eppendorf) tube, aggregation of Ag0 leading to floating Ag-particles was observed but not silver film deposition. This prompted to carry out challenging cross-coupling reaction by only changing the surface of the reaction flask from glass to plastic to silicones. Surprisingly, good selective oxidative homo-coupling on Teflon surface while cross-coupling in Eppendorf vial was observed Thus, the formation of biphenyl is driven by the macroscopic growth of Ag0 into [Ag-particle] orchestrated by Ag…Ag cohesive interaction was proposed. To validate results, experiments were also performed on gram scale. More importantly, oxidation of β-naphthol carried out in quartz (chiral) tube which yielded slight enantioselective excess of BINOL. The experimental process involved the reaction of 2,4-Di-tert-butylphenol(cas: 96-76-4).Computed Properties of 96-76-4
