Gong, Dawei published the artcileBidentate Ru(II)-NC Complexes as Catalysts for α-Alkylation of Unactivated Amides and Esters, Application of Benzyl acetate, the main research area is dimethylacetamide aralkyl alc ruthenium catalyst alkylation green chem; aryl dimethylalkanamide preparation; aralkyl alc tertbutyl acetate ruthenium catalyst alkylation green chem; tert butyl arylalkanoate preparation.
Five Ru(II)-NC complexes were tested as catalysts for α-alkylation of unactivated amides using alcs. as alkylating agents and complex {(C5H4N)-(C6H4)}RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2 showed the highest activity. With 0.5 mol% catalyst loading, a series of α-alkylated amides were isolated at 80° within 6 h. Furthermore, under similar conditions, complex {(C5H4N)-(C6H4)}RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2 was also active for α-alkylation of unactivated esters with alcs. and the reaction time was shortened to 1.5 h. The catalytic performance of complex {(C5H4N)-(C6H4)}RuCl(CO)(PPh3)2 was comparable to the best reported catalyst.
ChemCatChem published new progress about Alkylation. 140-11-4 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Benzyl acetate, and the molecular formula is C9H10O2, Application of Benzyl acetate.
