Tris(4-methoxyphenyl)methanol, C22H22O4, crystallizes in space group P21 with two molecules in the asymmetric unit. The molecules are linked into dimers by a weak O-H...O hydrogen bond [O...O 3.035 (3) A].
Expeditious and practical synthesis of tertiary alcohols from esters enabled by highly polarized organometallic compounds under aerobic conditions in Deep Eutectic Solvents or bulk water

An efficient protocol was developed for the synthesis of tertiary alcohols via nucleophilic addition of organometallic compounds of s-block elements (Grignard and organolithium reagents) to esters performed in the biodegradable choline chloride/urea eutectic mixture or in water. This approach displays a broad substrate scope, with the addition reaction proceeding quickly (20 s reaction time) and cleanly, at ambient temperature and under air, straightforwardly furnishing the expected tertiary alcohols in yields of up to 98%. The practicability of the method is exemplified by the sustainable synthesis of some representative S-trityl-L-cysteine derivatives, which are a potent class of Eg5 inhibitors, also via telescoped one-pot processes.

Owing to the strength of the C–F bond, the ‘direct’ preparation of Grignard reagents, i.e., the interaction of elemental magnesium with an organic halide, typically in an ethereal solvent, fails for bulk magnesium and organofluorine compounds. Previously described mechanochemical methods for preparing Grignard reagents have involved ball milling powdered magnesium with organochlorines or bromines. Activation of the C–F bond through a similar route is also possible, however. For example, milling 1- and 2-fluoronaphthalene with an excess of magnesium metal for 2 h, followed by treatment with FeCl3 and additional milling, produces the corresponding binaphthalenes, albeit in low yields (ca. 20%). The yields are independent of the particular isomer involved and are also comparable to the yields from corresponding the bromonaphthalenes. These results may reflect similar charges that reside on the α-carbon in the naphthalenes, as indicated by density functional theory calculations.
An Efficient Ga(OTf)3/Isopropanol Catalytic System for Direct Reduction of Benzylic Alcohols

This study aims to report the first gallium-catalyzed direct reduction of benzylic alcohols using isopropanol as a reductant. The reaction proceeds via gallium catalyst-assisted hydride transfer of the in situ-generated benzylic isopropyl ether. The method generates only water and acetone as byproducts and thus provides an atom-economic and environmentally friendly approach to the synthesis of di- and triarylmethanes, which are important substructures in various bioactive compounds and functional materials. (Figure presented.).
