Kang, Yi Cheng; Treacy, Sean M.; Rovis, Tomislav published their research in Synlett in 2021. The article was titled 《Iron-Catalyzed C(sp3)-H Alkylation through Ligand-to-Metal Charge Transfer》.Category: esters-buliding-blocks The article contains the following contents:
The FeCl3-catalyzed alkylation of nonactivated C(sp3)-H bonds was reported for the synthesis of alkyl esters, e.g., benzyl 6-oxooctanoate. Photoinduced ligand-to-metal charge transfer at the iron center generated chlorine radicals that then preferentially abstract hydrogen atoms from electron-rich C(sp3)-H bonds distal to electron-withdrawing functional groups. The resultant alkyl radicals were trapped by electron-deficient olefins, and the catalytic cycle was closed by Fe(II) recombination and protodemetalation. In the experiment, the researchers used Benzyl acrylate(cas: 2495-35-4Category: esters-buliding-blocks)
Benzyl acrylate(cas: 2495-35-4) has been used in preparation of high refractive index polyacrylates. Benzyl acrylate is used in the preparation of heptanoic acid benzyl ester. It is used to prepare polybenzylacrylate using azobisisobutyronitrile as initiator.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
