Suzuki, Koki; Tsuji, Hiroaki; Kawatsura, Motoi published an article in 2020, the title of the article was Ruthenium-catalyzed benzylic substitution of benzyl esters with stabilized carbon nucleophiles.Quality Control of Methyl 2-cyclopentanonecarboxylate And the article contains the following content:
A [Cp*RuCl2]2/picolinic acid catalyst system promoted the reaction of 2-naphthylmethyl-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzoates with a series of stabilized carbon nucleophiles such as malonates, β-ketoesters, and diketones to give the corresponding benzylic alkylation products in moderate to high yields. A plausible reaction mechanism that could involve a (π-benzyl)ruthenium intermediate is proposed. The experimental process involved the reaction of Methyl 2-cyclopentanonecarboxylate(cas: 10472-24-9).Quality Control of Methyl 2-cyclopentanonecarboxylate
