Usage

General Description

P-Toluene sulfonic acid N-octyl ester is an organic compound that belongs to the group of toluene sulfonic acids. It is derived from p-toluenesulfonic acid, a strong acid commonly used as a catalyst in organic synthesis, and N-octanol, an eight-carbon alcohol. This chemical is a clear, colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor. It is primarily used as a solvent and as a reagent in organic synthesis and is also used as a dispersant and emulsifying agent in various industries. It is known for its ability to solubilize various organic compounds and its compatibility with a wide range of materials, making it a versatile and valuable chemical in the field of organic chemistry.

Cation and leaving group effects in isosorbide alkylation under microwave in phase transfer catalysis

We have studied cation, salt, leaving group effects and influence of catalyst under phase transfer catalysis conditions using concomitant microwave irradiation during di-n-octylation of isosorbide. A small amount of solvent was necessary to control temper

Red-light-mediated BartonMcCombie reaction

A red-light-mediated BartonMcCombie reaction is described, in which chlorophyll a is used as a photocatalyst and tris(trimethylsilyl)silane or Hantzsch ester is used as the hydrogen source. The reaction can be performed with a set of easily available equipment and reagents, and a variety of linear and cyclic xanthates could be applied. In contrast to the traditional conditions, the reaction does not involve toxic organotin or an explosive radical initiator. The reaction mechanism was analyzed both by experiments and computation, and it was suggested that the radical chain mechanism initiated by excitation of complex followed by charge transfer is likely to be operative.

Cobalt-Catalyzed Silylcarbonylation of Unactivated Secondary Alkyl Tosylates at Low Pressure

A catalytic preparation of silyl enol ethers from unactivated secondary alkyl tosylates is reported. An inexpensive cobalt catalyst is used under mild conditions with low pressures of carbon monoxide. Nucleophilic, anionic cobalt carbonyls facilitate the catalytic activation of a range of alkyl tosylates. The silylcarbonylation offers a practical approach to synthetically valuable silyl enol ethers from simple starting materials.
