Kaithal, Akash; Hoelscher, Markus; Leitner, Walter published an article in 2021. The article was titled 《Carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas) as a C1-building block for selective catalytic methylation》, and you may find the article in Chemical Science.Category: bromides-buliding-blocks The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A catalytic reaction using syngas (CO/H2) as feedstock for the selective β-methylation of alcs. was developed whereby carbon monoxide acts as a C1 source and hydrogen gas as a reducing agent. The overall transformation occurs through an intricate network of metal-catalyzed and base-mediated reactions. The mol. complex [Mn(CO)2Br[HN(C2H4PiPr2)2]] 1 comprising earth-abundant manganese acts as the metal component in the catalytic system enabling the generation of formaldehyde from syngas in a synthetically useful reaction. This new syngas conversion opens pathways to install Me branches at sp3 carbon centers utilizing renewable feedstocks and energy for the sy nthesis of biol. active compounds, fine chems., and advanced biofuels.Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I)(cas: 14516-54-2Category: bromides-buliding-blocks) was used in this study.
Bromopentacarbonylmanganese(I)(cas: 14516-54-2) has many other uses. It is used in the formation of (eta6-arene)tricarbonylmanganese(I) by reacting with arene (arene= hexamethyl benzene, 1,2,4,5-tetramethyl benzene, mesitylene, p-xylene and toluene) in the presence silver salt.Category: bromides-buliding-blocks
