Tudge, Matthew; Mashima, Hiroko; Savarin, Cecile; Humphrey, Guy; Davies, Ian published an article on February 4 ,2008. The article was titled 《Facile reduction of malonate derivatives using NaBH4/Br2: an efficient route to 1,3-diols》, and you may find the article in Tetrahedron Letters.Category: esters-buliding-blocks The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Borane-dimethoxyethane generated from sodium borohydride-bromine mixtures efficiently reduces a wide range of malonate derivatives to the corresponding 1,3-diols. This new reagent system represents a milder alternative to current methods available, providing the requisite 1,3-diols in higher yields over shorter reaction times. In the experimental materials used by the author, we found Dimethyl 2-(4-nitrophenyl)malonate(cas: 4033-88-9Category: esters-buliding-blocks)
Dimethyl 2-(4-nitrophenyl)malonate(cas: 4033-88-9) belongs to esters. They are important in biology, being one of the main classes of lipids and comprising the bulk of animal fats and vegetable oils.Category: esters-buliding-blocks Polyesters are important plastics, with monomers linked by ester moieties.
