1-phenyl-1-propanol.

Secondary alcohols are an important class of compounds. They are not only important organic intermediates, but also widely used in fine chemicals such as medicines, pesticides, and spices. In traditional methods, secondary alcohols can be prepared by high temperature and high pressure hydrogenation, adding inorganic reducing agents such as sodium borohydride, or using formic acid and sodium formate. These methods have safety hazards in the reaction process, and produce a large amount of waste, causing certain pollution to the environment. In recent years, isopropanol Chemicalbook has been used as a hydrogen source for preparation. Isopropanol is a cheap, safe, and non-toxic hydrogen donor. This method has received widespread attention. However, a strong base or a weak base needs to be added during the reaction. Therefore, from the perspective of organic synthesis, it is of great significance to develop a new class of organometallic catalysts. By using cheap, safe, and non-toxic isopropanol as a hydrogen source and solvent, no base needs to be added during the reaction, and it can catalyze such reactions in an environmentally friendly and mild state.  Product Detail
