In 2019,Journal of Organic Chemistry included an article by Yu, Fazhi; Mao, Runyu; Yu, Mingcheng; Gu, Xianfeng; Wang, Yonghui. Electric Literature of C7H7I. The article was titled 《Generation of Aryl Radicals from Aryl Halides: Rongalite-Promoted Transition-Metal-Free Arylation》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A practical method for the generation of aryl radicals from aryl halides is reported. Rongalite as a precursor of super electron donors was used to initiate a series of electron-catalyzed reactions under mild conditions. These transition-metal-free radical chain reactions enable the efficient formation of C-C, C-S, and C-P bonds through homolytic aromatic substitution or SRN1 reactions. Moreover, the synthesis of antipsychotic drug quetiapine was performed on gram scale through the described method. This protocol demonstrated its potential as a promising arylation method in organic synthesis. The experimental process involved the reaction of 1-Iodo-4-methylbenzene(cas: 624-31-7Electric Literature of C7H7I)
1-Iodo-4-methylbenzene(cas: 624-31-7) undergoes Suzuki-Miyaura coupling reaction with phenylboronic acid catalyzed by (Ni,Mg)3Si2O5(OH)4 solid-solution nanotubes loaded with palladium.Electric Literature of C7H7I
