Usage

General Description

Citronellyl benzoate is a chemical compound commonly used in perfumes and fragrances for its pleasant floral and citrusy aroma. It is derived from citronellol, a natural component of citronella oil, and benzoic acid. Citronellyl benzoate is used to add depth and complexity to a variety of scents, and is often employed in floral, fruity, and tropical fragrance compositions. Its light, sweet, and slightly powdery scent makes it a popular choice for creating refreshing and uplifting perfumes. In addition to its pleasant fragrance, citronellyl benzoate also has some antimicrobial properties and is used in cosmetics and personal care products for its preservative capabilities.

Photochemical Activation of Aromatic Aldehydes: Synthesis of Amides, Hydroxamic Acids and Esters

A cheap, facile and metal-free photochemical protocol for the activation of aromatic aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthen-9-one as the photocatalyst and cheap household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic aldehydes have been activated and subsequently converted in a one-pot reaction into amides, hydroxamic acids and esters in good to high yields. The applicability of this method was highlighted in the synthesis of Moclobemide, a drug against depression and social anxiety. Extended and detailed mechanistic studies have been conducted, in order to determine a plausible mechanism for the reaction.

Catalytic Metal-free Allylic C?H Amination of Terpenoids

The selective replacement of C?H bonds in complex molecules, especially natural products like terpenoids, is a highly efficient way to introduce new functionality and/or couple fragments. Here, we report the development of a new metal-free allylic amination of alkenes that allows the introduction of a wide range of nitrogen functionality at the allylic position of alkenes with unique regioselectivity and no allylic transposition. This reaction employs catalytic amounts of selenium in the form of phosphine selenides or selenoureas. Simple sulfonamides and sulfamates can be used directly in the reaction without the need to prepare isolated nitrenoid precursors. We demonstrate the utility of this transformation by aminating a large set of terpenoids in high yield and regioselectivity.

A radical procedure for the anti-markovnikov hydroazidation of alkenes

A one-pot procedure for the efficient hydroazidation of alkenes involving hydroboration with catecholborane followed by reaction with benzenesulfonyl azide in the presence of a radical initiator is described. The regioselectivity is controlled by the hydroboration step and corresponds in most cases to an anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity. This procedure is applicable to a wide range of alkenes and gives excellent results with 1,2-disubstituted and trisubstituted alkenes.
