In 2019,Nature Communications included an article by Lv, Leiyang; Zhu, Dianhu; Li, Chao-Jun. Name: 2-Methoxybenzaldehyde. The article was titled 《Direct dehydrogenative alkyl Heck-couplings of vinylarenes with umpolung aldehydes catalyzed by nickel》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Herein, a nickel-catalyzed direct dehydrogenative alkyl Heck-coupling of vinylarenes with umpolung aldehydes to give alkenes under oxidant-free conditions, liberating hydrogen, nitrogen and water as the side products was presented. Excellent regioselectivity was achieved via neighboring oxygen atom coordination. Broad substrate scope, great functional group (ketone, ester, phenol, free amine, amide etc.) tolerance and modification of pharmaceutical candidates and biol. mols. exemplified its generality and practicability. After reading the article, we found that the author used 2-Methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 135-02-4Name: 2-Methoxybenzaldehyde)
2-Methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 135-02-4) is used as a flavor agent in foods including nonalcoholic/alcoholic beverages, baked goods, chewing gum, confections, frozen dairy, fruit ices, hard/soft candy, instant coffee, tea, Jams, jellies, and milk products. It also has been used to obtain good enantioselectivities using Cu(OAc)(2)-bis(oxazolines) via hydrogen bonding in asymmetric Henry reaction.Name: 2-Methoxybenzaldehyde
