Category: esters-buliding-blocks《Electrochemical Tandem Olefination and Hydrogenation Reaction with Ammonia》 was published in 2021.

An electrochem. Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons/hydrogenation tandem reaction was achieved using ammonia as electron and proton donors. The reaction could give two-carbon-elongated ester and nitrile from aldehyde or ketones directly. This reaction could proceed with a catalytic amount of base or even without a base. The ammonia provides both the electron and proton for this tandem reaction and enables the catalyst-free hydrogenation of an α,β-unsaturated HWE intermediate. More than 40 examples were reported, and functional groups, including heterocycles and hydroxyl, were tolerated.Ethyl tetradecanoate (cas: 124-06-1) were involved in the experimental procedure.
Ethyl tetradecanoate(cas: 124-06-1) is a labeled component from essential oil of natural hawthorn perfume. Also frequently used in cosmetics, soaps, and flavorings.Category: esters-buliding-blocksEthyl myristate is a long-chain fatty acid ethyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of myristic acid with the hydroxy group of ethanol.
