General Description

2-Nonadecanol, also known as eicosanol, is a long-chain fatty alcohol with a molecular formula of C20H42O. It is a waxy solid at room temperature and is commonly found in plant waxes and animal fats. 2-Nonadecanol has a variety of industrial applications, including use as a lubricant, emulsifier, and in the production of cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. It is also used as a raw material for the synthesis of other chemicals, such as surfactants and detergents. Furthermore, 2-Nonadecanol exhibits antimicrobial properties and has been shown to have potential as an insecticide and insect repellent. Additionally, it is considered to be relatively safe for human and environmental health, with low toxicity and minimal risk of adverse effects.

Design of Manganese Phenol Pi-complexes as Shvo-type Catalysts for Transfer Hydrogenation of Ketones

Catalytic hydrogenation is one of the most important reactions both in academic research and industry. We explored ability of the manganese pi-complexes to act as Shvo-type catalysts for transfer hydrogenation of ketones. DFT calculations suggested that the transfer of hydrogen atoms from the hypothetical intermediate [(C6Me3H2OH)Mn(CO)2H] to acetone has low activation barrier of 10.9 kcal mol?1. Experimentally a number of ketones with various functional groups (OMe, NH2, Cl, CF3, pyridyl) were successfully reduced in isopropanol at 90 °C in the presence of the complex [(C6Me3H2OH)Mn(CO)3]BF4 (1 mol %) and tBuOK (75 mol %). However, further investigation revealed that the reduction was mainly promoted by base rather than the manganese complex.

Studies on PPL catalyzed acetylation of 2-alkanols: Its application for the synthesis of 2-dodecanol and 2-tridecyl acetate, the pheromones of Crematogaster ants and Drosophila mulleri flies

Several aliphatic 2-alkanols with varying chain length has been efficiently resolved by their acetylation using vinyl acetate/PPL in diisopropyl ether. The effect of solvent polarity, position and type of unsaturation and chain length has been probed. This has led to more convenient synthesis of some insect pheromones.
