Sulfuryl Fluoride Promoted Thiocyanation of Alcohols: A Practical Method for Preparing Thiocyanates was written by Zhang, Guofu;Xuan, Lidi;Zhao, Yiyong;Ding, Chengrong. And the article was included in Synlett in 2020.Safety of (2,4-Dichlorophenyl)methanol This article mentions the following:
A novel SO2F2-promoted thiocyanation method for the one-step synthesis of thiocyanates RCH2SCN [R = Ph, 2-pyridyl, CH2(CH2)5CH3, etc.] through C-O bond cleavage of alcs. RCH2OH with ammonium thiocyanate as the thiocyanating agent was developed. The method avoided the use of addnl. catalyst and a variety of (hetero)arene, alkene and aliphatic alcs. reacted with high efficiency in Et acetate under mild conditions to afford the corresponding thiocyanates RCH2SCN in excellent to quant. yields with broad functional-group compatibility. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (2,4-Dichlorophenyl)methanol (cas: 1777-82-8Safety of (2,4-Dichlorophenyl)methanol).
(2,4-Dichlorophenyl)methanol (cas: 1777-82-8) belongs to alcohols. A strong base can deprotonate an alcohol to yield an alkoxide ion (R鈥昈鈭?. For example, sodamide (NaNH2), a very strong base, abstracts the hydrogen atom of an alcohol. The most common reactions of alcohols can be classified as oxidation, dehydration, substitution, esterification, and reactions of alkoxides.Safety of (2,4-Dichlorophenyl)methanol
