- Nickel-Catalyzed Reductive Cleavage of Carbon-Oxygen Bonds in Anisole Derivatives Using Diisopropylaminoborane
-
The catalytic removal of a methoxy group on an aromatic ring allows this group to be used as a traceless activating and directing group for aromatic functionalization reactions. Although several catalytic methods for the reductive cleavage of anisole derivatives have been reported, all are applicable only to π-extended aryl ethers, such as naphthyl and biphenyl ethers, while monocyclic aryl ethers cannot be reduced. Herein, we report a nickel-catalyzed reductive cleavage reaction of C-O bonds in aryl ethers using diisopropylaminoborane as the reducing agent. Unlike previously reported methods, this reducing reagent allows effective C-O bond reduction in a much wider range of aryl ether substrates, including monocyclic and heterocyclic ethers bearing various functional groups.

- Bisphenol compound and process for preparation thereof
-
The present invention provides a novel bisphenol compound of formula (I). wherein R1 and R2 are the same or different and are independently either hydrogen or methyl at each occurrence. The present invention also provides a process for preparation of these bisphenol compounds starting from Cashew Nut Shell Liquid (CNSL); —a renewable resource material. The bisphenols prepared in the present invention can be utilized as difunctional monomers for the preparation of various polymers such as epoxy resins, polyesters, polyethersulfones, polyetherketones, polyetherimides, polyarylates, polycarbonates, etc.
