C. published 《Chemoselective dual functionalization of phenols via relay catalysis of borane with different forms》 in 2021. The article was appeared in 《CCS Chemistry》. They have made some progress in their research.Application In Synthesis of 4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol The article mentions the following:
A highly efficient and chemoselective dual functionalization of unprotected phenols with α- or β- hydroxyl acids was presented. A variety of valuable benzofuranones and dihydrocoumarins were delivered in moderate to high yields. D. functional theory (DFT) calculations and control experiments indicated that an untypical Friedel-Crafts alkylation and the subsequent lactonization were catalyzed by the Lewis acid form and the Bronsted acid form of borane, resp. Gram-scale experiments and late-stage functionalization of complex mols. were performed to highlight the utility of this reaction. And 4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol (cas: 599-64-4) was used in the research process.
4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol(cas:599-64-4) is a natural product found in Panax ginseng.Application In Synthesis of 4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol 4-(2-Phenylpropan-2-yl)phenol is a useful reagent for preparing and characterizing aromatic polyphosphonates as high refractive index polymers.
