Usage

General Description

"(R)-3,7-dimethyl-1-octanol" is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H22O. It is a colorless liquid with a floral and woody odor, and is commonly used as a fragrance ingredient in perfumes and cosmetics. (R)-3,7-dimethyl-1-octanol is also used as a flavoring agent in food products and as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. When ingested or inhaled, it can cause irritation to the respiratory system and skin, and should be handled with care. Additionally, it is a chiral molecule, meaning it has a non-superimposable mirror image, and its enantiomers may have different biological activities.

Catalytic activity of nanoscale borides: Co2B and Ni7B3 in the liquid-phase hydrogenation of citral

Metal borides are unconventional heterogeneous catalysts. Now, two compounds – the new phase Ni7B3 and well-known Co2B – were synthesized as well-defined, nanoscale material. After characterization (X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen physisorption) they were tested for the liquid phase hydrogenation of citral (3,7-dimethyl-2,6-octadienal) in n-hexane at different temperatures. Hydrogenation products such as geraniol, nerol, citronellal and citronellol were analyzed. The Ni-free catalyst Co2B results in the formation of nerol and geraniol or citronellol selectively, depending on the reaction time. The new compound Ni7B3 yields citronellal or citronellol, depending on the temperature. Thus, the hydrogenation potential of borides – obtained as well-characterized, unsupported heterogeneous catalysts by a one-pot synthesis procedure and post-synthetic annealing – is demonstrated. The cobalt boride preferentially hydrogenates C[dbnd]O bonds, while the nickel boride is selective for C[dbnd]C double bonds.

Synthesis of Partially Hydrogenated 2,2'-Bis(diphenylphosphenyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl (BINAP) Ligands and Their Application to Catalytic Asymmetric Hydrogenation

Three pairs of new axially dissymmetric bisphosphane ligands, (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-2,2'-bis(dicyclohexylphosphanyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl , (R)-(+)- and (S)-(-)-2,2'-bis(diphenylphosphanyl)-5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-1,1'-binaphthyl and (R)-(-)- and (S)-(+)-2,2'-bis(dicyclohexylphosphanyl)-5,5',6,6',7,7',8,8'-octahydro-1,1'-binaphthyl , have been synthesized.The absolute configurations of the isomers 2 were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction of the linear 1:1 polymeric complex of (S)-(+)-2,2'-bis(dicyclohexylphosphinoyl)-1,1'-binaphthyl and (2R,3R)-(-)-di-O-benzoyltartaric acid , and those of the isomers 3 and 4 were established on the basis of CD spectra of the phosphanes and their bisoxides.X-Ray crystallographic studies of two cationic RhI complexes, (cod)>ClO4 and (cod)>ClO4 , revealed that complex (S)-17 possesses a dissymmetric structure, while complex (S)-18 has a pseudo-C2-symmetry and shows a significantly large dihedral angle between the two phenyl rings .The potentiality of ligand 3 for asymmetric catalysis was demonstrated in RuII-catalysed stereoselective hydrogenations of methyl 2-(benzamidomethyl)-3-oxobutanoate (21, in up to 92percent d.e. and 99percent e.e.) and geraniol (22, in 98percent optical purity).
