Richter, Reinhard published the artcileDimethylformamide-catalyzed decarboxylation of alkyl chloroformates. A synthesis of primary alkyl chlorides, COA of Formula: C8H9ClO, the main research area is alkyl chloroformate decarboxylation DMF catalyst; chloride alkyl.
Chloroformates prepared from primary aliphatic alcs. readily decompose on heating with catalytic amounts of DMF, thereby giving CO2 and ∼90% alkyl chlorides RCl [R = Me(CH2)nCH2 (n = 5, 8, 10), Me(CH2)7CH:CH(CH2)7CH2, PhOCH2CH2, BuCHEtCH2], Cl2Z [Z = (CH2)10, cis- and trans-1,4-cyclohexanediyldimethylene, 1,4-CH2C6H4CH2, CH2CCCH2] and I. Reactions at 3-5° yield formimidate chlorides as labile intermediates which dissociate on heating into DMF and alkyl chlorides. Formimidates II (X = Cl, BF4) were prepared from trans-1,4-bis(hydroxymethyl)cyclohexane.
Journal of Organic Chemistry published new progress about Decarboxylation. 622-86-6 belongs to class ethers-buliding-blocks, name is (2-Chloroethoxy)benzene, and the molecular formula is C8H9ClO, COA of Formula: C8H9ClO.
