The article was titled 《Quantum dots enable direct alkylation and arylation of allylic C(sp3)-H bonds with hydrogen evolution by solar energy》.Name: Benzyl 2-bromoacetate The article contains the following contents:
A general and mild strategy using semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) as photocatalysts for coupling a broad range of available allylic C(sp3)-H bonds with α-amino C-H bonds or heteroarenes, resp., under sunlight irradiation (> 85 examples) was reported. The protocol bypasses stoichiometric oxidant or reductant and pre-functionalization of both the coupling partners and produces hydrogen (H2) as the byproduct. The outstanding efficiency and selectivity and step- and atom-economy represents the first direct alkylation and arylation of allylic C(sp3)-H bonds with hydrogen evolution powered by solar energy. The experimental process involved the reaction of Benzyl 2-bromoacetate(cas: 5437-45-6Name: Benzyl 2-bromoacetate)
Benzyl 2-bromoacetate(cas: 5437-45-6) belongs to benzyl acetate. Benzyl acetate is a synthetic chemical produced for industry from benzyl alcohol and acetic acid, but is also naturally present in the essential oils of many plants, including jasmine and ylang ylang.Name: Benzyl 2-bromoacetate
