An efficient method is described for the mild and rapid tetrahydropyranylation of alcohols and phenols using a catalytic amount of N-chlorosaccharin (1 mol %) and 3, 4-dihydro-2H-pyran under solvent-free condition at room temperature. Benzylic alcohols and phenols containing electron withdrawing or donating groups in various positions of phenyl ring, cinamyl alcohol, primary, ...

ALCOHOLS  The lower aliphatic alcohols are low to moderately toxic and usually have low vapor pressures, therefore inhalation toxicity is low.  Vapors may be an irritant to the eyes and mucous membranes.  Ingestion and absorption of the liquids through the skin can be a major health hazard.  Lower alcohols containing double or triple bonds exhibit a greater degree of toxicity and irritation...

An efficient alumina-supported CuO-catalyzed O-arylation of phenols and aliphatic alcohols with various aryl as well as heteroaryl halides under ligand-free conditions are reported. This protocol provides a variety of diaryl ether and bis-diaryl ether motifs by reacting different aryl/aliphatic halides with differently substituted phenols and saturated alcohols in the presence of a catalytic am...

Diketopyrrolopyrroles are N-alkylated under mild conditions using secondary aliphatic and benzyl type alcohols.

Property tuning by fluorination is very effective for a number of purposes, and currently increasingly investigated for aliphatic compounds. An important application is lipophilicity (log P) modulation. However, the determination of log P is cumbersome for non-UV-active compounds. A new variation of the shake-flask log P determination method is presented, enabling the measurement of log P for f...

An orthogonal set of Cu-catalysts for the selective mono-arylation of alkyl aryl diols using aryl iodides is presented. Picolinic acid ligated copper catalyst provided phenol O-arylation only, while alkyl aryl ethers are generated by ligand-free copper catalyst in the presence of 2 equivalents NaOt-Bu.

The ability of human subjects to distinguish between aliphatic C6 alcohols differing in presence, position, or configuration (i.e., cis-trans geometry) of a double bond was tested. In a forced-choice triangular test procedure, 20 subjects were repeatedly presented with all 21 binary combinations of the seven stimuli and asked to identify the bottle containing the odd stimulus. I found (a) that ...

Aliphatic alcohols inhibited the activity of human matrix metalloproteinase 7 (matrilysin) competitively with K(i) of 6.1-19.4% (v/v) or 0.66-4.80 M. From the relationship between the structures of alcohols and their K(i) values, alcohols are considered to bind the hydrophobic S1' subsite most plausibly, and the size of the pocket was estimated to be large enough to accommodate the length of 1-...

mn(ii) salen complex immobilized on nano silicagel was prepared by incorporating mn(ii) salen complex into a nanosilica matrix and characterized by tga, xrd, atomic absorption spectroscopy and was successfully applied as catalyst for the oxidation of alcohols. oxidation of a series of alcohols in acetonitrile over immobilized mn(ii) salen complex using tetrabutylammonium peroxymonosulfate (tbao...
