Efficient Synthesis of C3-Alkylated and Alkenylated Indoles via Manganese-Catalyzed Dehydrogenation was written by Zhao, Mingqin;Li, Xinyan;Zhang, Xiaoyu;Shao, Zhihui. And the article was included in Chemistry – An Asian Journal in 2022.SDS of cas: 105-13-5 This article mentions the following:
Herein, a manganese-based catalytic system that enables the efficient synthesis of C3-alkylated indoles I [R = Bn, 2-MeC6H4CH2, 4-ClC6H4CH2, etc.] was described from benzyl alcs. and indoles via the borrowing hydrogen process. Furthermore, dehydrogenative coupling of 2-arylethanols and indoles yields C3-alkenylated indoles I [R = CH=CHPh, 4-MeC6H4CH=CH, 4-BrC6H4CH=CH, etc.]. Meanwhile, reacting 2-aminophenethanol instead of indoles could also obtain the corresponding indole products with high selectivity under the same conditions. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol (cas: 105-13-5SDS of cas: 105-13-5).
(4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol (cas: 105-13-5) belongs to ethers. Ether is less polar than esters, alcohols or amines because of the oxygen atom that is unable to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of bulky alkyl groups on both sides of the oxygen atom. But ether is more polar than alkenes. At room temperature, ethers are pleasant-smelling colourless liquids. Relative to alcohols, ethers are generally less dense, are less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points. They are relatively unreactive, and as a result they are useful as solvents for fats, oils, waxes, perfumes, resins, dyes, gums, and hydrocarbons. Vapours of certain ethers are used as insecticides, miticides, and fumigants for soil.SDS of cas: 105-13-5
