The Discovery-Oriented Approach To Organic Chemistry. 7. Rearrangement Of Trans-Stilbene Oxide With Bismuth Trifluoromethanesulfonate And Other Metal Triflates, Ram Mohan, James Christensen, Matthew Huddle, Jamie Rogers, Herbie Yung
The Discovery-Oriented Approach To Organic Chemistry. 7. Rearrangement Of Trans-Stilbene Oxide With Bismuth Trifluoromethanesulfonate And Other Metal Triflates, Ram Mohan, James Christensen, Matthew Huddle, Jamie Rogers, Herbie Yung
Scholarship
A microscale discovery-oriented experiment illustrating the rearrangement of trans-stilbene oxide using non-corrosive metal triflates as catalysts has been developed. The use of CDCl3 as the reaction solvent eliminates the need for any workup and avoids the use of highly toxic boron trifluoride etherate as a catalyst and additional reaction solvent.
Environmentally Friendly Organic Synthesis Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(Iii) Iodide Catalyzed Deprotection Of Acetals In Water, Ram Mohan, Aaron Bailey, Ashvin Baru, Kendall Tashe
Environmentally Friendly Organic Synthesis Using Bismuth Compounds: Bismuth(Iii) Iodide Catalyzed Deprotection Of Acetals In Water, Ram Mohan, Aaron Bailey, Ashvin Baru, Kendall Tashe
Scholarship
The chemoselective deprotection of a wide range of acetals and ketals in water is catalyzed by bismuth(III) iodide. Bismuth(III) compounds are remarkably nontoxic and hence are attractive as environmentally friendly catalysts.
