In 2022,Yu, Xiangzhu; Zhao, Zhengjia; Zhu, Lina; Tan, Shangzhi; Fu, Weiru; Wang, Lianyue; An, Yue published an article in Molecular Catalysis. The title of the article was 《Aerobic oxidative cleavage and esterification of C=C bonds catalyzed by iron-based nanocatalyst》.SDS of cas: 403-33-8 The author mentioned the following in the article:
An efficient protocol for the direct formation of esters by oxidative cleavage of C=C bonds using heterogeneous iron nanocomposite catalyst supported on nitrogen-doped carbon materials with mol. oxygen and tert-butylhydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidants was reported. The results showed that mol. oxygen as the terminal oxidant was mainly responsible for the cleavage process, and that the auxiliary oxidant TBHP promotes the formation of the intermediate epoxide, thus increasing the selectivity of the product. The catalytic system has a wide range of substrate compatibility involving the challenging inactive aliphatic and long-chain alkyl aryl olefins. The catalyst was reused seven times with no loss in catalytic activity. Characterization and control experiments uncovered that the core-shell Fe and Fe3C nanoparticles encapsulated by graphitic carbon play a predominant role in catalyzing the oxidative cleavage of olefins to esters. Preliminary mechanistic studies disclosed that this process involved both free radical reactions and tandem sequential reactions. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Methyl 4-fluorobenzoate(cas: 403-33-8SDS of cas: 403-33-8)
Methyl 4-fluorobenzoate(cas: 403-33-8) can be used in the synthesis of trisubstituted imidazole derivatives containing a 4-fluorophenyl group, a pyrimidine ring, and a CN- or CONH2-substituted benzyl moiety.SDS of cas: 403-33-8
