Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 589-18-4 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,8 and 9 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 589-18:
(5*5)+(4*8)+(3*9)+(2*1)+(1*8)=94
94 % 10 = 4
So 589-18-4 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

An efficient method for the cleavage of tert-butyldiphenylsilyl ethers catalyzed by 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin

Han, Zong

, p. 51 - 62 (2022/02/14)

An efficient method for the deprotection of tert-butyldiphenylsilyl (TBDPS) ethers using 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin (DBH) as catalyst and dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as solvent has been established. This method is useful for many kinds of compounds,

A Bifunctional Copper Catalyst Enables Ester Reduction with H2: Expanding the Reactivity Space of Nucleophilic Copper Hydrides

Kaicharla, Trinadh,Ngoc, Trung Tran,Teichert, Johannes F.,Tzaras, Dimitrios-Ioannis,Zimmermann, Birte M.

supporting information, p. 16865 - 16873 (2021/10/20)

Employing a bifunctional catalyst based on a copper(I)/NHC complex and a guanidine organocatalyst, catalytic ester reductions to alcohols with H2 as terminal reducing agent are facilitated. The approach taken here enables the simultaneous activation of esters through hydrogen bonding and formation of nucleophilic copper(I) hydrides from H2, resulting in a catalytic hydride transfer to esters. The reduction step is further facilitated by a proton shuttle mediated by the guanidinium subunit. This bifunctional approach to ester reductions for the first time shifts the reactivity of generally considered "soft"copper(I) hydrides to previously unreactive "hard"ester electrophiles and paves the way for a replacement of stoichiometric reducing agents by a catalyst and H2.

Direct use of the solid waste from oxytetracycline fermentation broth to construct Hf-containing catalysts for Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley reactions

Chen, Yuxin,Yao, Xuefeng,Wang, Xiaolu,Zhang, Xuefeng,Zhou, Huacong,He, Runxia,Liu, Quansheng

, p. 13970 - 13979 (2021/04/22)

The oxytetracycline fermentation broth residue (OFR) is an abundant solid waste in the fermentation industry, which is hazardous but tricky to treat. The resource utilization of the waste OFR is still challenging. In this study, a novel route of using OFR was proposed that OFR was used as the organic ligands to construct a new hafnium based catalyst (Hf-OFR) for Meerwein-Ponndorf-Verley (MPV) reactions of biomass-derived platforms. The acidic groups in OFR were used to coordinate with Hf4+, and the carbon skeleton structures in OFR were used to form the spatial network structures of the Hf-OFR catalyst. The results showed that the synthesized Hf-OFR catalyst could catalyze the MPV reduction of various carbonyl compounds under relatively mild reaction conditions, with high conversions and yields. Besides, the Hf-OFR catalyst could be recycled at least 5 times with excellent stability in activity and structures. The prepared Hf-OFR catalyst possesses the advantages of high efficiency, a simple preparation process, and low cost in ligands. The proposed strategy of constructing catalysts using OFR may provide new routes for both valuable utilization of the OFR solid waste in the fermentation industry and the construction of efficient catalysts for biomass conversion.
