In 2019,Angewandte Chemie, International Edition included an article by Hu, Yanhua; Zhang, Zhenfeng; Zhang, Jian; Liu, Yangang; Gridnev, Ilya D.; Zhang, Wanbin. Reference of 1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone. The article was titled 《Cobalt-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of C=N Bonds Enabled by Assisted Coordination and Nonbonding Interactions》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
An efficient cobalt-catalyzed asym. hydrogenation of C=N bonds has been realized. Chiral hydrazines were obtained in high yields and with excellent enantioselectivities (95-98 % ee). The hydrogenation went smoothly at up to 2000 substrate/catalyst and on a gram scale. The success of this reaction relies on the presence of an NHBz group in the substrates, with the reactivity and enantioselectivity improved by an assisted coordination to the cobalt atom and a nonbonding interaction with the ligand. Furthermore, this reaction has practical applications for the synthesis of several useful chiral nitrogen-containing compounds In addition to this study using 1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone, there are many other studies that have used 1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone(cas: 88-15-3Reference of 1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone) was used in this study.
1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone(cas: 88-15-3) belongs to thiophenes. Specialized thiophenes can be synthesized similarly using Lawesson’s reagent as the sulfidizing agent, or via the Gewald reaction, which involves the condensation of two esters in the presence of elemental sulfur. Another method is the Volhard–Erdmann cyclization. Reference of 1-Thiophen-2-yl-ethanone
