General Description

(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl acetate is a chemical compound that is derived from the combination of (2,4-dichlorophenyl)methanol and acetic acid. It is commonly used as a pesticide and herbicide, particularly in agricultural settings. The compound is known for its ability to effectively control various types of weeds and insects, making it a valuable tool for crop protection. However, its use has raised concerns about potential environmental and health risks, as it is classified as a hazardous substance. As such, the handling and use of (2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl acetate must be carefully regulated to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems and human health.

ZrCl4-Mg(ClO4)2: Highly efficient bimetallic catalyst for acetylation of alcohol with acetic acid

This work describes the highly efficient acetylation (acylation) of alcohols with acetic acid for the ester synthesis in the presence of newly designed a new composite zirconium (IV) chloride and magnesium catalyst which is used bimetallic acidic catalyst ZrCl4-Mg(ClO4)2, which is formed by grinding ZrCl4 and Mg(ClO4)2 in the molar ratio of 1:2, respectively. Thus, the powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, and thermogravimetric analysis of the ZrCl4, Mg(ClO4)2, and non-calcined ZrCl4-Mg(ClO4)2 were recorded. In each case, structural analysis was carried by grinding the catalyst in mortar and pestle.

Nucleophilic Substitution of Aliphatic Fluorides via Pseudohalide Intermediates

A method for aliphatic fluoride functionalization with a variety of nucleophiles has been reported. Carbon–fluoride bond cleavage is thermodynamically driven by the use of silylated pseudohalides TMS-OMs or TMS-NTf2, resulting in the formation of TMS-F and a trapped aliphatic pseudohalide intermediate. The rate of fluoride/pseudohalide exchange and the stability of this intermediate are such that little rearrangement is observed for terminal fluoride positions in linear aliphatic fluorides. The ability to convert organofluoride positions into pseudohalide groups allows facile nucleophilic attack by a wide range of nucleophiles. The late introduction of the nucleophiles also allows for a wide range of functional-group tolerance in the coupling partners. Selective alkyl fluoride mesylation is observed in the presence of other alkyl halides, allowing for orthogonal synthetic strategies.

Crown ether functionalized magnetic hydroxyapatite as eco-friendly microvessel inorganic-organic hybrid nanocatalyst in nucleophilic substitution reactions: an approach to benzyl thiocyanate, cyanide, azide and acetate derivatives

In this paper, high catalytic activity of 4′,4″-diformyl dibenzo-18-crown-6 anchored onto the functionalized magnetite hydroxyapatite (γ-Fe2O3@HAp–Crown) as a new, versatile and magnetically recoverable catalyst, was prepared. It evaluated as phase-transfer catalyst and molecular host system for nucleophilic substitution reactions of benzyl halides with thiocyanate, cyanide, azide and acetate anions in water. No evidence for the formation of by-products was observed and the products obtained in pure form without further purification. The nanocomposite was easily removed from solution via application of a magnetic field, allowing straightforward recovery and reuse. The synthesized nanocomposite was characterized by several techniques such as FT-IR, TGA-DTG, EDX, XRD, BET, FE-SEM, TEM and VSM.
