Gao, Xiaofang published the artcileIodine-Initiated Dioxygenation of Aryl Alkenes Using tert-Butylhydroperoxides and Water: A Route to Vicinal Diols and Bisperoxides, Application of 1-(4-Bromophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol, the main research area is vicinal diol green preparation; aryl alkene dioxygenation iodine catalyst; bisperoxide green preparation; alkene aryl dioxygenation iodine catalyst.
An environment-friendly and efficient dioxygenation of aryl alkenes for the construction of vicinal diols ArCH(OH)CH(OH)R [Ar = Ph, 2-MeC6H4, 4-MeC6H4, etc.; R = H, Br, Me, etc.] was developed in water with iodine as the catalyst and tert-butylhydroperoxides (TBHPs) as the oxidant. The protocol was efficient, sustainable, and operationally simple. Detailed mechanistic studies indicated that one of the hydroxyl groups was derived from water and the other one was derived from TBHP. Addnl., the bisperoxides ArCH(OOtBu)CH(OOtBu)R [Ar = Ph, 4-MeC6H4, 3-FC6H4, etc.] could be obtained in good yields with iodine as the catalyst, Na2CO3 as the additive, and propylene carbonate as the solvent, instead.
Journal of Organic Chemistry published new progress about Aryl alkenes Role: RCT (Reactant), RACT (Reactant or Reagent). 92093-23-7 belongs to class alcohols-buliding-blocks, name is 1-(4-Bromophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol, and the molecular formula is C8H9BrO2, Application of 1-(4-Bromophenyl)ethane-1,2-diol.
