Uses

DDOH is primarily a metabolite of DDT and is not typically used for specific applications like other compounds. However, its study and understanding are crucial for assessing the impact of DDT exposure on human health and the environment. Research on DDOH can help in developing strategies to mitigate the harmful effects of DDT and its metabolites.

Selective One-Pot Three-Step Cascade Reaction: From Aromatic Aldehydes to 2,2-Diphenylethanol Derivatives

We report herein a green and scalable one-pot, three-step, pinacol-coupling-rearrangement-reduction cascade reaction useful for the formation of 2,2-diphenylethanol derivatives. The reaction is carried out in water in the presence of a commercially available and regenerable supported acid under moderate pressure. A dozen of aromatic aldehydes have been successfully submitted to the standard protocol giving the target 2,2-diarylethanol derivatives in good yield (70-85%).

Visible-Light-Mediated Anti-Markovnikov Hydration of Olefins

Considering that stoichiometric borane and oxidant are required in the classical alkene anti-Markovnikov hydration process, it remains appealing to achieve the transformation in a catalytic protocol. Herein, a visible-light-mediated anti-Markovnikov addition of water to alkenes by using an organic photoredox catalyst in conjunction with a redox-active hydrogen atom donor was developed, which avoided the need for a transition-metal catalyst, stoichiometric borane, as well as oxidant. Both terminal and internal olefins are readily accommodated in this transformation to obtain corresponding primary and secondary alcohols in good yields with single regioselectivity. This procedure can be scaled up to gram scale with a 230 turnover number based on photocatalyst.

Reductive dechlorination of DDT electrocatalyzed by synthetic cobalt porphyrins in N,N′-dimethylformamide

Two cobalt porphyrins, (OEP)CoII and (TPP)CoII, where OEP and TPP are the dianions of octaethylporphyrin and tetraphenylporphyrin, respectively, were examined as electrocatalysts for the reductive dechlorination of DDT (1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethane) in N,N′- dimethylformamide (DMF) containing 0.1 M tetra-n-butylammonium perchlorate (TBAP). No reaction is observed between DDT and the porphyrin in its Co(II) oxidation state but this is not the case for the reduced Co(I) forms of the porphyrins which electrocatalyze the dechlorination of DDT, giving initially DDD (1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dichloroethane), DDE (1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2, 2-dichloroethylene) and DDMU (1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2-chloroethylene) as determined by GC-MS analysis of the reaction products. A further dechlorination product, DDOH (2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethanol), is also formed on longer timescales when using (TPP)Co as the electroreduction catalyst. The effect of porphyrin structure and reaction time on the dechlorination products was examined by GC-MS, cyclic voltammetry, controlled potential electrolysis and UV-visible spectroelectrochemistry and a mechanism for the reductive dechlorination is proposed.

DDT, DDD, and DDE dechlorination by zero-valent iron

Traditionally, destruction of DDT [1,1,1-trichloro-2,2-bis(p-chlorophenyl)ethane] for environmental remediation required high-energy processes such as incineration. Here, the capability of powdered zero-valent iron to dechlorinate DDT and related compound

1-Substituted aralkyl imidazoles

This disclosure describes novel aralkyl imidazoles, their acid addition salts, their metal complex salts and processes for their preparation. These compounds possess biological activity and in particular are useful as systemic protectant/eradicant fungicidal agents for controlling plant diseases caused by fungi and as plant growth regulators. The metal complex salts of these compounds are particularly useful in their ability to reduce undesirable plant growth regulatory activity and phytotoxicity while retaining their ability for controlling plant diseases caused by fungi.
