Enantioselective iridium-catalyzed carbonyl isoprenylation via alcohol-mediated hydrogen transfer was written by Xiang, Ming;Luo, Guoshun;Wang, Yuankai;Krische, Michael J.. And the article was included in Chemical Communications (Cambridge, United Kingdom) in 2019.COA of Formula: C7H9NO2 This article mentions the following:
Highly enantioselective iridium catalyzed carbonyl (2-vinyl)allylation or “isoprenylation” was developed for the synthesis of methylenealkenols I [R = cyclopropyl, 2-FC6H4, 2-thienyl, etc.] via hydrogen auto-transfer or 2-propanol-mediated reductive coupling of primary alcs. or aldehydes, resp. with tert-butyl-2-methylenebut-3-enyl carbonate. Using this method, asym. total syntheses of the terpenoid natural products, (+)-ipsenol and (+)-ipsdienol were also achieved. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (6-Methoxypyridin-2-yl)methanol (cas: 63071-12-5COA of Formula: C7H9NO2).
(6-Methoxypyridin-2-yl)methanol (cas: 63071-12-5) belongs to ethers. Of all the functional groups, ethers are the least reactive ones. Ether bonds are quite stable towards bases, oxidizing agents and reducing agents. But on the other hand, ethers undergo cleavage by reaction with acids. At room temperature, ethers are pleasant-smelling colourless liquids. Relative to alcohols, ethers are generally less dense, are less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points. They are relatively unreactive, and as a result they are useful as solvents for fats, oils, waxes, perfumes, resins, dyes, gums, and hydrocarbons. Vapours of certain ethers are used as insecticides, miticides, and fumigants for soil.COA of Formula: C7H9NO2
