Usage

General Description

2,6-Diethyl-3-nitroaniline, also known as Sudan III, is a chemical compound commonly used as a dye in industries such as textiles and plastics. It is a reddish-brown powder that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 2,6-Diethyl-3-nitroaniline is primarily known for its use as a dye in the coloring of various materials, particularly in the staining of lipids, waxes, and triglycerides in histology and cytology. It is also used as a staining reagent for the detection of the presence of both saturated and unsaturated lipids in cells and tissues. Additionally, it has been studied for potential use in pharmaceutical applications due to its ability to interact with lipid molecules. However,

Enantiospecific Synthesis of Nepetalactones by One-Step Oxidative NHC Catalysis

An efficient oxidative NHC-catalyzed one-step transformation of (S)-or (R)-8-oxocitronellal to nepetalactone (NL) in enantio- A nd diastereomerically pure form has been developed. Several new and "easy to make" N-Mes-or N-Dipp-substituted 1,2,4-triazolium salts carrying nitroaromatic groups on N1 were synthesized and evaluated as precatalysts in combination with base and stoichiometric organic oxidant. Under optimized conditions, NLs are accessible in very good yields and diastereomerically pure under mild conditions. The oxidant used could be recovered and recycled under operationally simple conditions.

Synthesis of Indoles via Ring Closure of 2-Alkylnitroaniline Derivatives.

A variety of nitroindoles have been prepared from imidate, amidine, and sec-anilide derivatives of 2-alkyl-3- or 5-nitroanilines by a base-induced cyclization promoted by dialkyl oxalates.It is shown that essentially the same procedure also can be used to synthesize the corresponding nitroindole-3-glyoxylates in one simple operation.The synthetic potential is discussed and a mechanism is proposed.
