Usage

General Description

Cinnamyl formate is a chemical compound found in the natural essential oil of cinnamon. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent in various food and beverage products due to its sweet, fruity, and slightly floral aroma. Cinnamyl formate is also used in the fragrance and cosmetic industries for its pleasant scent. In addition to its use in the food and fragrance industries, cinnamyl formate has potential applications in agriculture as a natural insect repellent due to its repellent properties against certain insect pests. However, it is important to note that cinnamyl formate can cause irritation to the skin and eyes, and can be harmful if ingested or inhaled in large amounts. Therefore, safe handling and usage practices should be followed when working with this chemical.

Efficient Pd-Catalyzed Regio- and Stereoselective Carboxylation of Allylic Alcohols with Formic Acid

Formic acid is efficiently used as a C1 source to directly carboxylate allylic alcohols in the presence of a low loading of palladium catalyst and acetic anhydride as additive to afford β,γ-unsaturated carboxylic acids with excellent chemo-, regio-, and stereoselectivity. The reaction proceeds through a carbonylation process with in situ-generated carbon monoxide under mild conditions, avoiding the use of high-pressure gaseous CO. A bisphosphine ligand with a large bite angle (4,5-bis{diphenylphosphino}-9,9-dimethylxanthene, Xantphos) was found to be uniquely effective for this transformation. The regio- and stereoconvergence of this reaction is ascribed to the thermodynamically favored isomerization of the allylic electrophile in the presence of the palladium catalyst.

Iron perchlorate on silica gel as multi-purpose reagent for catalysis of closure and rupture of carbon-oxygen bond in epoxides, alcohols, and esters

Aliphatic alcohols and water in the presence of catalytic amounts of Fe3+ ion introduced as iron(III) perchlorate on silica gel carrier perform efficient regiospecific opening of an epoxy ring. Carbon acids esterification with various type alcohols was carried out using the system Fe(ClO4)3-silica gel in dichloromethane under conditions excluding solvolysis. Acetylation and formylation of alcohols was performed by efficient transesterification with ethyl acetate and ethyl formate.

One-step conversion of formate esters to O-silyl ethers by means of samarium diiodide in the presence of chlorosilane reagents

One-step conversion of various types of formate esters into the corresponding O-silyl ethers under neutral reaction conditions was established by employing samarium diiodide in the presence of chlorosilane reagents.
