Usage

General Description

3-Acetylbenzo[b]furan is a chemical compound derived from furocoumarin, a class of organic chemical compounds produced by various plants. It is known for its unique aromatic properties and the presence of furan rings and an acetyl group in its structure. The chemical has been studied for its potential medicinal properties as an anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and neuroprotective agent, among others. In addition, 3-acetylbenzo[b]furan is also employed in laboratory settings and in the development of specific pharmaceutical products. However, precise toxicological data on this compound is still lacking and its use should be supervised by appropriate safety measures.

Site-Specific Oxidation of (sp3)C-C(sp3)/H Bonds by NaNO2/HCl

A site-specific oxidation of (sp3)C-C(sp3) and (sp3)C-H bonds in aryl alkanes by the use of NaNO2/HCl was explored. The method is chemical-oxidant-free, transition-metal-free, uses water as the solvent, and proceeds under mild conditions, making it valuable and attractive to synthetic organic chemistry.

Chemoenzymatic synthesis of (R)- and (S)-1-heteroarylethanols

A chemoenzymatic methodology for the synthesis of highly enantiomerically enriched (S)- and (R)-1-heteroarylethanols by enantioselective bioreduction with baker's yeast of the corresponding 1-heteroarylethanones followed by three racemization free chemical steps including a Mitsunobu reaction was developed.
