Usage

General Description

2,4-dichlorophenyl benzoate is a chemical compound that consists of a benzene ring with a benzoate group and two chlorine atoms attached to the phenyl ring. It is used primarily as an insecticide and pest control agent due to its insecticidal properties. It works by disrupting the nervous system of insects, leading to paralysis and eventual death. It is commonly used in the agricultural industry for crop protection and has also been used in household insecticides. Additionally, it has been evaluated for its potential as an anti-fungal and anti-bacterial agent in medical and pharmaceutical applications. However, it is important to handle this chemical with care, as it is toxic to aquatic organisms and can have harmful effects on the environment if not used responsibly.

Green and efficient method for the acylation of amines and phenols in the presence of hydrotalcite in water

In this study a mild, efficient and environmentally friendly method has been developed for the synthesis of amides and esters in the presence of hydrotalcite in water at room temperature. Different types of amines and phenols have been used and in all cases the products were obtained in moderate to high yields after an easy work-up. This method follows the principles of green chemistry.

5,5′-Dimethyl-3,3′-azoisoxazole as a new heterogeneous azo reagent for esterification of phenols and selective esterification of benzylic alcohols under Mitsunobu conditions

5,5′-Dimethyl-3,3′-azoisoxazole is used as a new efficient heterogeneous azo reagent for the highly selective esterification of primary and secondary benzylic alcohols and phenols with aliphatic and aromatic carboxylic acids via Mitsunobu protocols. The reaction is highly selective for primary benzylic alcohols versus secondary ones, aliphatic alcohols and also phenols. The isoxazole hydrazine byproduct can be simply isolated by filtration and recycled to its azoisoxazole by oxidation.
