In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Base- and Catalyst-Induced Orthogonal Site Selectivities in Acylation of Amphiphilic Diols, published in 2020-05-15, which mentions a compound: 50816-19-8, Name is 8-Bromooctan-1-ol, Molecular C8H17BrO, Formula: C8H17BrO.
Seeking to selectively functionalize natural and synthetic amphiphiles, we explored acylation of model amphiphilic diols. The use of a nucleophilic catalyst enabled a remarkable shift of the site selectivity from the polar site, preferred in background noncatalyzed or base-promoted reactions, to the apolar site. This tendency was significantly enhanced for organocatalysts comprising an imidazole active site surrounded by long/branched tails. An explanation of these orthogonal modes of selectivity is supported by competitive experiments with monoalc. substrates.
Different reactions of this compound(8-Bromooctan-1-ol)Formula: C8H17BrO require different conditions, so the reaction conditions are very important.
