Usage

General Description

2-Furanol, tetrahydro-5-methyl- is a compound that is classified as a cyclic alcohol and consists of a furan ring with a tetrahydro-5-methyl substituent. It is commonly used in the food and fragrance industry due to its sweet, caramel-like aroma and flavor. 2-Furanol, tetrahydro-5-methyl- is found naturally in various foods such as coffee, bread, and meat, and is also used as a flavoring agent in products such as baked goods, dairy products, and beverages. In addition to its use in the food industry, 2-Furanol, tetrahydro-5-methyl- is also used in the production of perfumes and cosmetics due to its pleasant scent. However, it is important to note that this compound may pose health risks if consumed in large quantities, and should be used in accordance with safety guidelines and regulations.

Bright, Multi-responsive, Sky-Blue Platinum(II) Phosphors Based on a Tetradentate Chelating Framework

A new class of highly efficient and stable, blue-phosphorescent PtII complexes based on a tetradentate chelating framework has been found to exhibit highly sensitive and reversible responses to multiple external stimuli including temperature, pressure, and UV irradiation with distinct phosphorescent color switching—from blue to red or white. Intermolecular excimer formation is the main origin of this intriguing multi-response phenomenon. Highly efficient singlet-oxygen sensitization by the PtII compounds yields UV-light-induced phosphorescence enhancement and color switching.

Preparation of cis-Fused Tetrahydropyranyl Lactones via Palladium-Catalysed Cyclocarbonylation of Enediols

The stereoselective palladium-catalysed cyclocarbonylation of hex-5-ene-1,4-diols affords cis-fused bicyclic lactones only. Ring-opening with N,O-dimethylhydroxylamine hydrochloride gives the corresponding Weinreb amides, and their subsequent recyclisation provides advanced synthons for the prospective synthesis of decarestrictine L. The relative configurations of all the prepared tetrahydropyrans are determined by NOESY. The attempted transformations of lactones into methyl ketones leads to an unexpected furan, the formation of which is discussed.

Selective reduction of esters to aldehydes under the catalysis of well-defined NHC-iron complexes

On a direct course to the aldehyde: Hydrosilylation catalyzed by a well-defined N-heterocyclic-carbene-iron complex under UV irradiation enabled the selective reduction of esters to aldehydes (see scheme; Bn=benzyl, Mes=mesityl). The low catalyst loading and very mild reaction conditions make this chemoselective transformation a promising alternative to the reduction of esters with diisobutylaluminum hydride. Copyright
