Mondal, Avijit; Sharma, Rahul; Pal, Debjyoti; Srimani, Dipankar published an article in 2021. The article was titled 《Manganese catalyzed switchable C-alkylation/alkenylation of fluorenes and indene with alcohols》, and you may find the article in Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom).Recommanded Product: 873-75-6 The information in the text is summarized as follows:
The usage of earth-abundant, nontoxic transition metals in place of rare noble metals was a central goal in catalysis. This would be especially interesting when the reactivity and selectivity patterns could be tuned. Herein, the first Mn-catalyzed selective C-alkylation and olefination of fluorene, and indene with alcs. to gave the ((fluorenyl)methyl)(aryl/alkyl) I [R1 = H, Me; R2 = n-Bu, Ph, 2-pyridyl, etc.] ((fluorenylidene)methyl)aryls II [R3 = Ph, 2-pyridyl, 4-MeC6H4, etc.] ((indenylidene)methyl)aryls III [R4 = 2-pyridyl, 3-MeOC6H4, etc.] was introduced. Various substrates including benzylic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic primary and secondary alcs. were employed as alkylating agents. Mechanistic investigations and a kinetic study underpin the involvement of the olefinated intermediate to furnished the alkylated product. The experimental part of the paper was very detailed, including the reaction process of (4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6Recommanded Product: 873-75-6)
(4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6) undergoes three-component reaction with acetylferrocene and arylboronic acid to give ferrocenyl ketones containing biaryls.Recommanded Product: 873-75-6 It undergoes oxidation reaction in the presence of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-supported hydrogen peroxide, silica sulfuric acid and ammonium bromide to yield 4-bromobenzaldehyde.
