Highly Efficient and Chemoselective Zinc-Catalyzed Hydrosilylation of Esters under Mild Conditions was written by Kovalenko, Oleksandr O.;Adolfsson, Hans. And the article was included in Chemistry – A European Journal in 2015.Category: esters-buliding-blocks This article mentions the following:
A mild and highly efficient catalytic hydrosilylation protocol for room-temperature ester reductions has been developed using diethylzinc as the catalyst. The methodol. is operationally simple, displays high functional group tolerance and provides for a facile access to a broad range of different alcs. in excellent yields. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, Methyl 2-thienylacetate (cas: 19432-68-9Category: esters-buliding-blocks).
Methyl 2-thienylacetate (cas: 19432-68-9) belongs to esters. Carboxylic acid esters of low molecular weight are colourless, volatile liquids with pleasant odours, slightly soluble in water. Because of their lack of hydrogen-bond-donating ability, esters do not self-associate. Consequently, esters are more volatile than carboxylic acids of similar molecular weight.Category: esters-buliding-blocks
