Usage

General Description

(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl acetate is a chemical compound that is derived from the combination of (2,4-dichlorophenyl)methanol and acetic acid. It is commonly used as a pesticide and herbicide, particularly in agricultural settings. The compound is known for its ability to effectively control various types of weeds and insects, making it a valuable tool for crop protection. However, its use has raised concerns about potential environmental and health risks, as it is classified as a hazardous substance. As such, the handling and use of (2,4-dichlorophenyl)methyl acetate must be carefully regulated to minimize negative impacts on ecosystems and human health.

ZrCl4-Mg(ClO4)2: Highly efficient bimetallic catalyst for acetylation of alcohol with acetic acid

This work describes the highly efficient acetylation (acylation) of alcohols with acetic acid for the ester synthesis in the presence of newly designed a new composite zirconium (IV) chloride and magnesium catalyst which is used bimetallic acidic catalyst ZrCl4-Mg(ClO4)2, which is formed by grinding ZrCl4 and Mg(ClO4)2 in the molar ratio of 1:2, respectively. Thus, the powder X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Brunauer–Emmett–Teller surface area, and thermogravimetric analysis of the ZrCl4, Mg(ClO4)2, and non-calcined ZrCl4-Mg(ClO4)2 were recorded. In each case, structural analysis was carried by grinding the catalyst in mortar and pestle.

Fe3O4@PEG core/shell nanoparticles as magnetic nanocatalyst for acetylation of amines and alcohols using ultrasound irradiations under solvent-free conditions

Abstract: Ultrasound irradiation was used to prepare one-pot Fe3O4@PEG core/shell nanostructure for the first time. The morphology, structure, and physicochemical properties were specified by different analytical techniques including field emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometer. For acetylation of phenols, alcohols, and amines, the synthesized Fe3O4@PEG core/shell nanoparticles were used as an efficient heterogeneous and green catalyst with acetic anhydride under sonication applying mild reaction conditions. Different electron-withdrawing and electron-donating substrates indicate a prominent yield of desired products with the merit of reusability of Fe3O4@PEG nanocatalyst and magnetic separation.

Preparation of Polydopamine Sulfamic Acid-Functionalized Silica Gel as Heterogeneous and Recyclable Nanocatalyst for Acetylation of Alcohols and Amines Under Solvent-Free Conditions

To fabricate SiO2/PDA–SO3H nanocatalyst, a suitable method is designed for the loading of sulfonic acid groups on the surface of polydopamine (PDA)-encapsulated SiO2 nanoparticles. To bridge the gap between heterogeneous and homogeneous catalysis, surface functionalization of silica gel is an elegant procedure. The morphology, structure, and physicochemical features were specified using different analytical techniques including field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), high resolution-transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (WDX), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and back titration. The SiO2/PDA–SO3H nanoparticles are efficient nanocatalysts for the acetylation of many alcohols, phenols, and amines with acetic anhydride under solvent-free conditions in good to excellent yields. Moreover, the reuse and recovery of the catalyst was shown seven times without detectible loss in activity. Graphical Abstract: [Figure not available: see fulltext.]
