Usage

General Description

Benzoic acid, 4,4'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis- is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C14H16O4. It is also known by the name diethyl phthalate, and it is commonly used as a plasticizer in various products, including cosmetics, personal care products, and pharmaceuticals. Benzoic acid,4,4'-(1,2-ethanediyl)bis- is an ester of phthalic acid and is often used as a solvent and fixative in perfumes. It is also used as a denaturant for ethyl alcohol and as a solvent for cellulose acetate. Additionally, it can be used as a pesticide, as well as in the manufacture of films, sheets, and extruded products. However, it is important to note that diethyl phthalate has been associated with potential health risks, and its use in certain products is being regulated and restricted.

Reductive Homocoupling of Organohalides Using Nickel(II) Chloride and Samarium Metal

A homocoupling method for organohalides and organosulfonates promoted by samarium metal and HMPA, and catalyzed by NiCl2 has been developed. Various organohalides (benzyl, aryl, heterocyclic, alkenyl and alkyl halides), α-haloacetophenones, and phenyl organosulfonates were tolerated, and the reaction afforded coupling products with high efficiency. Excellent chemoselectivity was exhibited between halides and other groups, such as ?COOH, ?NO2, halogen, heterocyclic ring, ester, and ketone groups. The stereoselectivity suggested that the reaction mechanism might involve an organosamarium species.
