Palladium-Catalyzed Remote meta-Selective C-H Bond Silylation and Germanylation was written by Modak, Atanu;Patra, Tuhin;Chowdhury, Rajdip;Raul, Suman;Maiti, Debabrata. And the article was included in Organometallics in 2017.Reference of 697-73-4 This article mentions the following:
Selective meta-C-H activation of arenes until date has met with a limited number of functionalizations. Expanding the horizon of meta-C-H functionalization, herein the authors disclose an unprecedented meta-silylation and germanylation protocol by employing a simple nitrile based directing template. Longer linker between the target site and the directing template were successfully explored for meta-silylation (sp2ε and sp2ζ). Addnl., synthetic utility was demonstrated with several postsynthetic elaborations and with a formal synthesis of TAC101, a promising drug for the treatment of lung cancer. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-difluorobenzene (cas: 697-73-4Reference of 697-73-4).
2-(Chloromethyl)-1,3-difluorobenzene (cas: 697-73-4) belongs to organic chlorides. Organochlorines are organic compounds having multiple chlorine atoms. They were the first synthetic pesticides that were used in agriculture. They are resistant to most microbial and chemical degradations. Aliphatic organochlorides are often alkylating agents as chlorine can act as a leaving group, which can result in cellular damage.Reference of 697-73-4
