In 2019,Journal of the American Chemical Society included an article by Garcia, Kevin J.; Gilbert, Michael M.; Weix, Daniel J.. Application In Synthesis of 1-Bromo-2-isopropylbenzene. The article was titled 《Nickel-Catalyzed Addition of Aryl Bromides to Aldehydes To Form Hindered Secondary Alcohols》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Transition-metal-catalyzed addition of aryl halides across carbonyls remains poorly developed, especially for aliphatic aldehydes and hindered substrate combinations. We report here that simple nickel complexes of bipyridine and PyBox can catalyze the addition of aryl halides to both aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes using zinc metal as the reducing agent. This convenient approach tolerates acidic functional groups that are not compatible with Grignard reactions, yet sterically hindered substrates still couple in high yield (33 examples, 70% average yield). Mechanistic studies show that an arylnickel, and not an arylzinc, adds efficiently to cyclohexanecarboxaldehyde, but only in the presence of a Lewis acid co-catalyst (ZnBr2). The experimental process involved the reaction of 1-Bromo-2-isopropylbenzene(cas: 7073-94-1Application In Synthesis of 1-Bromo-2-isopropylbenzene)
1-Bromo-2-isopropylbenzene(cas: 7073-94-1) belongs to organobromine compounds.Depending on the type of carbon to which the bromine is bonded, organic bromide could be alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or aryl. Application In Synthesis of 1-Bromo-2-isopropylbenzene Dehydrobromination, Grignard reactions, reductive coupling, Wittig reaction, and several nucleophilic substitution reactions are some of the principal reactions which involve organic bromides.
