G.; Madsen, Robert. And the article was published in Chemical Science in 2019. Safety of (4-Bromophenyl)methanol The author mentioned the following in the article:
The first example of a manganese(III) catalyst for the acceptorless dehydrogenation of alcs. was presented. N,N’-Bis(salicylidene)-1,2-cyclohexanediaminomanganese(III) chloride was shown to catalyzed the direct synthesis of imines from a variety of alcs. and amines with the liberation of hydrogen gas. The mechanism was investigated exptl. with labeled substrates and theor. with DFT calculations The results indicated a metal-ligand bifunctional pathway in which both imine groups in the salen ligand are first reduced to form a manganese(III) amido complex as the catalytically active species. Dehydrogenation of the alc. then takes place by a stepwise outer-sphere hydrogen transfer generating a manganese(III) salan hydride from which hydrogen gas was released. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6Safety of (4-Bromophenyl)methanol)
(4-Bromophenyl)methanol(cas: 873-75-6) undergoes three-component reaction with acetylferrocene and arylboronic acid to give ferrocenyl ketones containing biaryls.Safety of (4-Bromophenyl)methanol It undergoes oxidation reaction in the presence of polyvinylpolypyrrolidone-supported hydrogen peroxide, silica sulfuric acid and ammonium bromide to yield 4-bromobenzaldehyde.
