Usage

General Description

Decyl benzoate is a chemical compound that is often used in various cosmetic and personal care products. It is a clear, colorless liquid that is derived from benzoic acid and decyl alcohol. Decyl benzoate is known for its emollient and moisturizing properties, making it a popular ingredient in skincare products such as lotions, creams, and sunscreens. It helps to improve the spreadability and texture of these products, as well as provide a smooth and soft feel to the skin. Additionally, decyl benzoate has low volatility and is resistant to oxidation, making it a stable and long-lasting ingredient in cosmetic formulations.

LiHMDS: Facile, highly efficient and metal-free transesterification under solvent-free condition

Transesterification is one of the important organic reactions employed in numerous industrial as well as laboratory applications for the synthesis of various esters. Herein, we report a rapid, highly efficient, and transition metal-free transesterification reaction in the presence of LiHMDS under solvent-free conditions. The transesterification reaction was carried out with three different benzoate esters and a wide range of primary and secondary alcohols (from C3-C18) in good to excellent yields (45 examples). By considering the commercial role of esters, this method will be promising for the facile synthesis of esters in industry-relevant applications.

IrIII-Catalyzed direct syntheses of amides and esters using nitriles as acid equivalents: A photochemical pathway

An unprecedented IrIII[df(CF3)ppy]2(dtbbpy)PF6-catalyzed simple photochemical process for direct addition of amines and alcohols to the relatively less reactive nitrile triple bond is described herein. Various amides and esters are synthesized as the reaction products, with nitriles being the acid equivalents. A mini-library of different types of amides and esters is made using this mild and efficient process, which uses only 1 mol% of photocatalyst under visible light irradiation (λ = 445 nm). The reaction strategy is also efficient for gram-scale synthesis.

Cross-Dehydrogenating Coupling of Aldehydes with Amines/R-OTBS Ethers by Visible-Light Photoredox Catalysis: Synthesis of Amides, Esters, and Ureas

A straightforward synthesis of amides, ureas, and esters is reported by visible-light cross-dehydrogenating coupling (CDC) of aldehydes (or amine carbaldehydes) and amines/R-OTBS ethers by photoredox catalysis. The reaction is found to be general and high yielding. A plausible mechanistic pathway has been proposed for these transformations and is supported by appropriate controlled experiments.
