In 2019,Reaction Chemistry & Engineering included an article by Aand, Dnyaneshwar; Mahajan, Bhushan; Pabbaraja, Srihari; Singh, Ajay K.. Electric Literature of C8H7BrO2. The article was titled 《Integrated continuous flow/batch protocol for the photoreduction of ortho-methyl phenyl ketones using water as the hydrogen source》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Direct utilization of the abundant hydrogen in water for the transfer hydrogenation reaction (THR) is a very attractive and challenging research area. Herein, the first integrated photo-transfer hydrogenation reaction (PTHR) platform for the synthesis of benzhydrol derivatives R1CH(OH)R2 (R1 = Ph, 2-MeC6H4, 4-FC6H4, etc.; R2 = Ph, 2,5-(Me)2C6H3, 3,4-(Me)2C6H3) (26 examples, 33-89% yields) with water as a green reducing agent is reported. This transformation is time and labor-efficient, catalyst-free, and economical and utilizes readily available hydrocarbon(s) (o-Me Ph ketones) as starting materials.3-Bromo-2-methylbenzoic acid(cas: 76006-33-2Electric Literature of C8H7BrO2) was used in this study.
3-Bromo-2-methylbenzoic acid(cas: 76006-33-2) belongs to organobromine compounds. A variety of minor organobromine compounds are found in nature, but none are biosynthesized or required by mammals. Organobromine compounds have fallen under increased scrutiny for their environmental impact. Electric Literature of C8H7BrO2
