2,2 -Sulfinyl-bis(4-methyl phenol) 3 and it's thio derivative have been synthesized in this work. The reduction process of sulfoxide 3 to its thio derivative 5 was accomplished in the presence of Zn/AcOH/SiO 2 , under microwave irradiation. The structures have been confirmed by spectroscopic (IR, 1 HNMR, 13 CNMR) and single crystal x-ray diffraction methods. 2,2 -Sulfinyl-bis(4-methyl phenol) 3 crystallizes in the space group Cc of the monoclinic system with four molecules in the unit cell of dimensions a = 11.425(2)Å, b = 13.530(2)Å, c = 9.5215(17)Å, β = 117.289(4)Å, and 2,2 -thio-bis(4-methyl phenol) 5 crystallizes in the space group P 2 1 2 1 2 1 of the orthorhombic system with four molecules in the unit cell of dimensions a = 9.021(1)Å, b = 10.523(2)Å, c = 13.607(2)Å, α = 90. The structures have been refined to final values for the crystallographic R factor of 0.0189(3) and 0.0248(5) based on 2999 and 3720 observed independent reflections respectively.
A highly efficient, green and expeditious solvent-free method is described for the chemoselective conversion of aldehydes to the corresponding acylals in excellent yields, using acetic anhydride in the presence of catalytic amount (20 mol%) of silica-supported LiHSO4. Ketones does not react under these reaction conditions. LiHSO4/SiO2can be recovered and reused without any significant loss of its catalytic activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
