General Description

Ethyl phenethyl ether, also known as 1-phenylethoxyethane, is a chemical compound with the formula C10H14O. It is classified as an ether and is composed of a phenethyl group attached to an ethyl group through an oxygen atom. This colorless liquid is commonly used as a solvent in various industrial applications, including in the manufacture of perfumes, dyes, and pharmaceuticals. It has a pleasant floral odor and is considered to be relatively stable under normal conditions. Ethyl phenethyl ether is also known for its low toxicity and is not considered to be a major health hazard when used in accordance with safety guidelines.

γ-Ray-induced reduction of sterically hindered alkyl carboxylates with trichlorosilane in the presence of hydrogen chloride. Two-step mechanism for the formation of alkanes via the alkyl chloride

γ-Irradiation of a mixture of 1-adamantyl acetate and trichlorosilane (TCS) in the presence of hydrogen chloride yields adamantane. The first step of this reaction entails cleavage of the alkyloxygen bond by the action of HCl and TCS to give the alkyl chloride. The chloride, in the second step, is dechlorinated by TCS by a known, free-radical mechanism. t-Amyl and benzyl acetates react analogously to 1-adamantyl acetate in this system to give isopentane and toluene, whereas other primary and secondary alkyl derivatives produce the corresponding dialkyl ethers by a known, free-radical mechanism.

Decomposition of a Β-O-4 lignin model compound over solid Cs-substituted polyoxometalates in anhydrous ethanol: acidity or redox property dependence?

Production of aromatics from lignin has attracted much attention. Because of the coexistence of C–O and C–C bonds and their complex combinations in the lignin macromolecular network, a plausible roadmap for developing a lignin catalytic decomposition process could be developed by exploring the transformation mechanisms of various model compounds. Herein, decomposition of a lignin model compound, 2-phenoxyacetophenone (2-PAP), was investigated over several cesium-exchanged polyoxometalate (Cs-POM) catalysts. Decomposition of 2-PAP can follow two different mechanisms: an active hydrogen transfer mechanism or an oxonium cation mechanism. The mechanism for most reactions depends on the competition between the acidity and redox properties of the catalysts. The catalysts of POMs perform the following functions: promoting active hydrogen liberated from ethanol and causing formation of and then temporarily stabilizing oxonium cations from 2-PAP. The use of Cs-PMo, which with strong redox ability, enhances hydrogen liberation and promotes liberated hydrogen transfer to the reaction intermediates. As a consequence, complete conversion of 2-PAP (>99%) with excellent selectivities to the desired products (98.6% for phenol and 91.1% for acetophenone) can be achieved.

Selective Hydrosilylation of Esters to Aldehydes Catalysed by Iridium(III) Metallacycles through Trapping of Transient Silyl Cations

The combination of an iridium(III) metallacycle and 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene catalyses rapidly and selectively the reduction of esters to aldehydes at room temperature with high yields through hydrosilylation followed by hydrolysis. The ester reduction involves the trapping of transient silyl cations by the 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene co-catalyst, supposedly by formation of an arenium intermediate whose role was addressed by DFT calculations.
