Usage

General Description

Tridecylbenzene is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of alkylbenzenes. These are aromatic compounds containing a benzene substituted at one or more positions. As a light yellow liquid, tridecylbenzene is used in industries and chemical laboratories for making other chemicals such as detergents, lubricants, and surfactants. It is typically manufactured by the alkylation of benzene with tridecene. It is noted for its low biodegradability, meaning it breaks down slowly in the environment and could have potential adverse effects. However, more studies are required to support this.

Utilization of tetrabutylammonium triphenyldifluorosilicate as a fluoride source for silicon-carbon bond cleavage

Tetrabutylammonium triphenyldifluorosilicate (TBAT) can be employed as a fluoride source to cleave silicon-carbon bonds thus generating in situ carbanions that coupled with a variety of electrophiles, including aldehydes and ketones, in moderate to high yields. Among the examples reported is the first instance of fluoride-induced intermolecular coupling between allyltrimethylsilane and imine derivatives. Also, of particular note is the TBAT-initiated coupling of primary alkyl halides with allyltrimethylsilane. TBAT is an easily handled crystalline solid that has several advantages over tetrabutylammonium fluoride (TBAF) as a fluoride source; it is anhydrous, nonhygroscopic, soluble in most commonly used organic solvents, and less basic than TBAF.

Nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of umpolung carbonyls and alkyl halides

An effective nickel-catalyzed cross-coupling of Umpolung carbonyls and alkyl halides was developed. Complementary to classical alkylation techniques, this reaction utilizes Umpolung carbonyls as the environmentally benign alkyl nucleophiles, providing an efficient and selective catalytic alternative to the traditional use of highly reactive alkyl organometallic reagents.

Stabilization of long-chain intermediates in solution. octyl radicals and cations

The rearrangements of 1-octyl, 1-decyl and 1-tridecyl intermediates obtained from thermal lead(IV) acetate (LTA) decarboxylation of nonanoic, undecanoic and tetradecanoic acid were investigated experimentally through analysis and distribution of the products. The relationships between 1,5-, 1,6- and possibly existing 1,7-homolytic hydrogen transfer in 1-octyl-radical, as well as successive 1,2-hydride shift in corresponding cation have been computed via Monte-Carlo method. Taking into account that ratios of 1,5-/1,6-homolytic rearrangements in 1-octyl- and 1-tridecyl radical are approximately the same, the simulation shows very low involvement of 1,7-hydrogen rearrangement (1,5-/1,6-/1,7-hydrogen rearrangement = 85:31:1) in 1-octyl radical.
