Herein an efficient strategy of using an oxidized lignin model compound, α-hydroxyacetophenone, as starting material to synthesize indoles or carbazoles in conjunction with using pyrroles or indoles as counterpart reagents was described. The reactions were performed using Sc(OTf)3 as a catalyst in a bio-based green solvent, glycerol, and moderate to excellent yields were obtained. At the end of the reaction, both solvent and catalyst was recovered and reused. The novel approach presented here not only provided an eco-efficient route for the value-added conversion of lignin degradation products, but also extends the diversity of indole and carbazole derivatives, which are of potential importance in the development of functional photo-elec. materials. The results came from multiple reactions, including the reaction of Methyl 3-oxovalerate(cas: 30414-53-0Product Details of 30414-53-0)
Methyl 3-oxovalerate(cas: 30414-53-0) belongs to ketone compounds. Ketone compounds have important physiological properties. They are found in several sugars and in compounds for medicinal use, including natural and synthetic steroid hormones. Molecules of the anti-inflammatory agent cortisone contain three ketone groups.Product Details of 30414-53-0
