General Description

2-phenyl-tetrahydrofuran, also known as PT, is a chemical compound with the formula C10H12O. It is a colorless liquid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. PT is used as a solvent and intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. It can also be found in some consumer products such as perfumes and cosmetics. PT has been found to have potential applications in the production of bio-based fuels and renewable chemicals due to its unique structure and properties. However, it is important to handle PT with care as it can be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and it may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact.

An Intramolecular Iodine-Catalyzed C(sp3)?H Oxidation as a Versatile Tool for the Synthesis of Tetrahydrofurans

The formation of ubiquitous occurring tetrahydrofuran patterns has been extensively investigated in the 1960s as it was one of the first examples of a non-directed remote C?H activation. These approaches suffer from the use of toxic transition metals in overstoichiometric amounts. An attractive metal-free solution for transforming carbon-hydrogen bonds into carbon-oxygen bonds lies in applying economically and ecologically favorable iodine reagents. The presented method involves an intertwined catalytic cycle of a radical chain reaction and an iodine(I/III) redox couple by selectively activating a remote C(sp3)?H bond under visible-light irradiation. The reaction proceeds under mild reaction conditions, is operationally simple and tolerates many functional groups giving fast and easy access to different substituted tetrahydrofurans.

C1-Symmetric Binap Derivative Featuring Single Diferrocenylphosphino-Donor Moiety

A C1-symmetric chiral bisphosphine, FcPh-Binap (1), which possesses a single diferrocenylphosphino moiety together with a conventional Ph2P-substituent, was prepared in enantiomerically pure forms. Ligand 1 is sterically less demanding than Fc-Segphos (A)
