Sim, T. B.; Yoon, N. M. published an article in Synlett. The title of the article was 《Selective reduction of α,β-unsaturated acid derivatives using borohydride exchange resin-CuSO4 in methanol》.Name: Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate The author mentioned the following in the article:
Borohydride exchange resin-copper sulfate in methanol readily reduces α,β-unsaturated esters, amides, and nitriles quant. to the corresponding saturated acid derivative at room temperature In the experiment, the researchers used Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate(cas: 7116-36-1Name: Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate)
Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate(cas: 7116-36-1) belongs to organochlorine compounds. The wide structural variety and divergent chemical properties of organochlorides lead to a broad range of names, applications, and properties. Aliphatic organochlorides are often alkylating agents as chlorine can act as a leaving group, which can result in cellular damage.Name: Ethyl 3-(4-chlorophenyl)propanoate
