Relevant articles and documents

Molecular recognition driven catalysis using polymeric nanoreactors

The concept of using polymeric micelles to catalyze organic reactions in water is presented and compared to surfactant based micelles in the context of molecular recognition. We report for the first time enzyme-like specific catalysis by tethering the catalyst in the well-defined hydrophobic core of a polymeric micelle.

Electrochemical alkyl transfer reaction from trialkylboranes to polyhalo compounds

Reduction of decyl dichloro- and trichloroacetate, under mild electrolysis conditions by using the sacrificial anode process, affords α-chlorocarbanions which readily react with trialkylboranes to give alkylated products in a one step reaction.

Facile acetylation of alcohols, ethers and ketals with catalytic FeCl3 in AcOH

A simple and efficient protocol for the conversion of alcohols, ethers and ketals to acetates using catalytic FeCl3(5mol%) in AcOH, or AcOH (3eq) in CH2Cl2 in very high yield is reported. A variety of other acids such as CF3CO2H, HCO2H, CH2=CHCO2H, CH3CH2CO2H, CH3(CH2)2CO2H have also been utilised for the acylation of alcohols successfully.
