The article was titled 《Diversity-Oriented Synthesis of Aliphatic Fluorides via Reductive C(sp3)-C(sp3) Cross-Coupling Fluoroalkylation》.Application In Synthesis of 4-Bromobutanoic acid The article contains the following contents:
A direct nickel-catalyzed monofluoromethylation of unactivated alkyl halides e.g., (3-bromopropyl)benzene using a low-cost industrial raw material, bromofluoromethane, by demonstrating a general and efficient reductive cross-coupling of two alkyl halides e.g., (3-bromopropyl)benzene and e.g., (2-bromo-2-fluoroethyl)benzene was described. Results with 1-bromo-1-fluoroalkane also demonstrate the viability of monofluoroalkylation, which further established the first example of reductive C(sp3)-C(sp3) cross-coupling fluoroalkylation. These transformations demonstrate high efficiency, mild conditions, and excellent functional-group compatibility, especially for a range of pharmaceuticals and biol. active compounds Mechanistic studies support a radical pathway. Kinetic studies reveal that the reaction is first-order dependent on catalyst and alkyl bromide whereas the generation of monofluoroalkyl radical is not involved in the rate-determining step. This strategy provides a general and efficient method for the synthesis of aliphatic fluorides e.g, (4-fluorobutyl)benzene. In addition to this study using 4-Bromobutanoic acid, there are many other studies that have used 4-Bromobutanoic acid(cas: 2623-87-2Application In Synthesis of 4-Bromobutanoic acid) was used in this study.
4-Bromobutanoic acid(cas: 2623-87-2) belongs to carboxylic acids. The chief chemical characteristic of the carboxylic acids is their acidity. They are generally more acidic than other organic compounds containing hydroxyl groups but are generally weaker than the familiar mineral acids (e.g., hydrochloric acid, HCl, sulfuric acid, H2SO4, etc.).Application In Synthesis of 4-Bromobutanoic acid
