Rhodium(III)-Catalyzed Acylation of C(sp3)-H bonds with Cyclopropenones was written by Kong, Lingheng;Zhou, Xukai;Xu, Youwei;Li, Xingwei. And the article was included in Organic Letters in 2017.Reference of 644-98-4 This article mentions the following:
Rh(III)-catalyzed activation and acylation of sp3 C-H bonds has been realized with diarylcyclopropenone as an acylating reagent. Both benzylic C-H in 8-methylquinolines and unactivated C-H in 2-alkylpyridines are applicable in this C-H acylation reaction, providing enones in good yields under redox-neutral conditions. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Isopropylpyridine (cas: 644-98-4Reference of 644-98-4).
2-Isopropylpyridine (cas: 644-98-4) belongs to pyridine derivatives. Pyridine’s the lone pair does not contribute to the aromatic system but importantly influences the chemical properties of pyridine, as it easily supports bond formation via an electrophilic attack. Pyridine, its benzo and pyridine-based compounds play diverse roles in organic chemistry. Pyridine-based materials are valued for their optical and physical properties as well as their medical potential. Reference of 644-98-4
