Xing, Chun-Hui; Hu, Qiao-Sheng published an article on February 10 ,2010. The article was titled 《Ni(COD)2/4-ClC6H4COR-catalyzed addition reactions of arylboroxines with aldehydes》, and you may find the article in Tetrahedron Letters.Product Details of 63012-03-3 The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Secondary aralkyl alcs. RCH(OH)R1 (R = Ph, 4-MeC6H4, 4-MeOC6H4, 4-BrC6H4, 4-ClC6H4, 3-ClC6H4, 2-MeOC6H4, PhCH2CH2, Ph2CHCH2, Me2CHCH2, cyclohexyl; R1 = Ph, 4-MeC6H4, 4-MeOC6H4, 2-MeC6H4) are prepared in 81-96% yields by the addition of triarylboroxines (R1BO)3 to aldehydes RCHO in the presence of bis(η4-1,2,5,6-cyclooctadiene)nickel(0) and 4-chlorophenyl carbonyl compounds 4-ClC6H4COR2 (R2 = H, Me, Ph), particularly 4-chlorobenzophenone. In the experiment, the researchers used (3-Chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanol(cas: 63012-03-3Product Details of 63012-03-3)
(3-Chlorophenyl)(phenyl)methanol(cas: 63012-03-3) belongs to hydroxy-containing compounds. Hydroxy groups participate in the dehydration reactions that link simple biological molecules into long chains.Product Details of 63012-03-3 The joining of a fatty acid to glycerol to form a triacylglycerol removes the −OH from the carboxy end of the fatty acid.
