In 2019,Journal of Organic Chemistry included an article by Barman, Milan K.; Das, Kuhali; Maji, Biplab. Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks. The article was titled 《Selective Hydroboration of Carboxylic Acids with a Homogeneous Manganese Catalyst》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Catalytic reduction of carboxylic acid to the corresponding alc. is a challenging task of great importance for the production of a variety of value-added chems. Herein, a Mn-catalyzed chemoselective hydroboration of carboxylic acids was developed with a high turnover number (>99,000) and turnover frequency (>2000 h-1) at 25°. This method displayed tolerance of electronically and sterically differentiated substrates with high chemoselectivity. Importantly, aliphatic long-chain fatty acids, including biomass-derived compounds, can efficiently be reduced. Mechanistic studies revealed that the reaction occurs through the formation of active Mn-hydride species via an insertion and bond metathesis type mechanism.(4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks) 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.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks It undergoes efficient trimethylsilylation reaction with 1,1,1,3,3,3-hexamethyldisilazane in the presence of catalytic amount of aspartic acid in acetonitrile.
