Pfennig, Victoria S. published the artcileMechanochemical Grignard Reactions with Gaseous CO2 and Sodium Methyl Carbonate, Formula: C8H8O2, the publication is Angewandte Chemie, International Edition (2022), 61(9), e202116514, database is CAplus and MEDLINE.
A one-pot, three-step protocol for the preparation of Grignard reagents from organobromides RBr [R = 2-naphthyl, 2-thienyl, 1-adamantyl, etc.] in a ball mill and their subsequent reactions with gaseous carbon dioxide (CO2) or sodium Me carbonate providing aryl and alkyl carboxylic acids RC(O)OH in up to 82% yield are reported. The preparation has the short reaction times and the significantly reduced solvent amounts [2.0 equivalent for liquid assisted grinding (LAG) conditions]. Unexpectedly, aryl bromides with methoxy substituents lead to sym. ketones such as 2,2′-dimethoxybenzophenone and 2,2′,5,5′-tetramethoxybenzophenone as major products.
Angewandte Chemie, International Edition published new progress about 118-90-1. 118-90-1 belongs to catalysis-chemistry, auxiliary class Carboxylic acid,Benzene,Natural product, name is 2-Methylbenzoic acid, and the molecular formula is C8H8O2, Formula: C8H8O2.
