Selective Oxidation of Alkylarenes to the Aromatic Ketones or Benzaldehydes with Water was written by Zhang, Jin;Du, Jihong;Zhang, Chenyang;Liu, Kun;Yu, Feifei;Yuan, Yongkun;Duan, Baogen;Liu, Renhua. And the article was included in Organic Letters in 2022.Reference of 620-92-8 The following contents are mentioned in the article:
Here a palladium-catalyzed oxidation method for converting alkylarenes into the aromatic ketones or benzaldehydes ArC(O)R1 [Ar = Ph, 4-MeC6H4, 4-HOC6H4, etc.; R1 = H, Ph, 4-ClC6H4, etc.] with water as the only oxygen donor was reported. This C-H bond oxidation functionalization did not require other oxidants and hydrogen acceptors, and H2 was the only byproduct. The oxygen atom introduced into the products was confirmed to be from water by the MS anal. on the product of the 18O-labeled water reaction. This study involved multiple reactions and reactants, such as 4,4′-Methylenediphenol (cas: 620-92-8Reference of 620-92-8).
4,4′-Methylenediphenol (cas: 620-92-8) belongs to alcohols. Alkyl halides are often synthesized from alcohols, in effect substituting a halogen atom for the hydroxyl group. Under carefully controlled conditions, simple alcohols can undergo intermolecular dehydration to give ethers. This reaction is effective only with methanol, ethanol, and other simple primary alcohols.Reference of 620-92-8
