Usage

General Description

O-hydroxyphenyl benzoate, also known as 2-Hydroxybenzyl benzoate, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C14H12O3. It is a white solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. O-hydroxyphenyl benzoate is commonly used as a UV filter in sunscreens and other skincare products due to its ability to absorb UV-B radiation. It also exhibits antioxidant properties, making it useful in the stabilization of various cosmetic and personal care products. Additionally, this compound is utilized in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and as a precursor in organic chemistry reactions. O-hydroxyphenyl benzoate is considered to have low toxicity, but its exact hazards may vary depending on the specific application and concentration.

Synthesis and characterization of 4-chlorobutyl ester of 5-(8-carboxyl-1-naphthyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl-porphyrin and its zinc complex

In the presence of Br?nsted–Lowry acids (phenol or dry HCl), the acyl chloride, which was obtained by the reaction between 5-(8-carboxyl-1-naphthyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl-porphyrin (CNTPP) and oxalyl chloride, reacted with tetrahydrofuran and led to the 4-chlorobutyl ester, P1, as the result of the acylative cleavage. P1 and its zinc complex [ZnP1] have been characterized by1H NMR. The structure of [ZnP1] was obtained by X-ray crystallography. Zinc is coordinated by four pyrrole nitrogens. The 8-position substituent, a 4- chlorobutyl ester group, lies above the porphyrin plane.

Selective Monoacylation of Diols and Asymmetric Desymmetrization of Dialkyl meso-Tartrates Using 2-Pyridyl Esters as Acylating Agents and Metal Carboxylates as Catalysts

With 2-pyridyl benzoates as acylating agents and Zn(OAc)2 as a catalyst, 1,2-diols, 1,3-diols, and catechol were selectively monoacylated. Furthermore, the highly enantioselective desymmetrization of meso-tartrates was achieved for the first time, utilizing 2-pyridyl esters and NiBr2/AgOPiv/Ph-BOX in CH3CN or CuCl2/AgOPiv/Ph-BOX in EtOAc catalyst systems (up to 96% ee). The latter catalyst system was also effective for the kinetic resolution of dibenzyl dl-tartrate.

Synthesis of industrially important aromatic and heterocyclic ketones using hierarchical ZSM-5 and Beta zeolites

Hierarchical ZSM-5 and Beta zeolites were investigated in the synthesis of wide range of industrially important aromatic/heterocyclic ketones by Friedel-Crafts acylation and benzoylation reactions. For comparative study, conventional ZSM-5 and Beta, and amorphous mesoporous Al-MCM-41 were investigated. Hierarchical zeolites were prepared by multi-ammonium structure directing agents whereas conventional zeolites were prepared by mono-ammonium structure directing agents. Among the catalysts investigated in this study, hierarchical Beta exhibited the highest reactant conversion in the acylation and benzoylation reactions. In this study, the systematic assessment of the catalytic activity of acid catalysts for wide range of aromatic and heterocyclic compounds is shown under one umbrella. To the best of our knowledge, these reactions over hierarchical zeolites (ZSM-5 and Beta) are reported here for the first time. Structure activity relationship is explained based on the physico-chemical properties, molecular size, reactivity of reactants, and reaction mechanism. Catalysts can be easily recovered and reused with negligible loss in the catalytic activity.
