Electro organic synthesis as green and sustainable approach for synthesis of chloro substituted benzyl alcohols was written by Saharan, Ritu. And the article was included in Journal of the Indian Chemical Society in 2022.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks This article mentions the following:
A green and sustainable approach for synthesis of chloro substituted benzyl alcs. has been established. In present research paper cyclic voltammetry study followed by constant current electrolysis and characterization of synthesized 2-chlorobenzyl alc., 3-chlorobenzyl alc., 4-chlorobenzyl alc. and 2,4-dichlorobenzyl alc. has been reported. Cyclic voltammetry measurements have been employed to setup optimum conditions for electrolysis and to find out electrochem. nature of various Chloro substituted benzaldehydes. Then these results have been judiciary used to carry out electrochem. reduction of various chloro substituted benzaldehydes using constant current electrolysis. Influence of scan rate and pH on reduction peaks has also been investigated referring irreversible electron transfer phenomenon in basic medium. The kinetic parameters for reduction reactions have been estimated showing the process under the influence of diffusion control. This has a scientific achievement in terms of the obtained products and their derivatives which are industrially and pharmaceutically significant chems. owing to their huge applications in petrochem. industries and medical sectors. Throat lozenges containing dichlorobenzyl alc. (DCBA) are used for treatment of respiratory tract infections. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (4-Chlorophenyl)methanol (cas: 873-76-7Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks).
(4-Chlorophenyl)methanol (cas: 873-76-7) belongs to alcohols. Alcohols are among the most common organic compounds. They are used as sweeteners and in making perfumes, are valuable intermediates in the synthesis of other compounds, and are among the most abundantly produced organic chemicals in industry. Converting an alcohol to an alkene requires removal of the hydroxyl group and a hydrogen atom on the neighbouring carbon atom. Dehydrations are most commonly carried out by warming the alcohol in the presence of a strong dehydrating acid, such as concentrated sulfuric acid.Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks
