Quality Control of Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate And the article was included in Tetrahedron Letters on August 17 ,2022. The article conveys some information:
It was found that biocatalytic hydrolysis of various esters using Baker’s yeast proceeds efficiently under neutral conditions without sucrose. Hydrolysis of Et, Me, Pr, iso-Pr, benzyl, allyl, prenyl, and vinyl esters of 3-phenylpropanoic acid using Baker’s yeast gave easily 3-phenylpropanoic acid in 52-86% yields. In contrast, Baker’s yeast did not hydrolyze the rigid structural esters such as cinnamyl and Ph 3-phenylpropanoates. Then, Baker’s yeast hydrolyzed various Et esters of 3-arylpropanoic acids, 4-phenylbutanoic acid, and fatty acids to afford the corresponding acids in 29-85% yields. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate(cas: 7116-36-1Quality Control of Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate)
Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate(cas: 7116-36-1) belongs to organochlorine compounds. Alkanes and aryl alkanes may be chlorinated under free radical conditions, with UV light. Quality Control of Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate However, the extent of chlorination is difficult to control. Aryl chlorides may be prepared by the Friedel-Crafts halogenation, using chlorine and a Lewis acid catalyst.
