New Approaches toward Ferrocene–Guanine Conjugates: Synthesis and Electrochemical Behavior

“…The lower Lewis acidity of Al(OTf) 3 allowed the direct introduction of ferrocenylethanol at the 9-position of guanine. The direct functionalization of the 9-position of guanine by S N 1 chemistry is suggested by our study.…”

Selective Conversion of Benzylic Phosphates into Diarylmethanes Through Al(OTf)3‐Catalyzed Friedel–Crafts‐Type Benzylation

“…We focused our attention on Al(OTf) 3 , which is readily available and known to be a strong oxophilic Lewis acid with water tolerance . Because of its favorable chemical properties, Al(OTf) 3 has been utilized as a catalyst for the transformations of oxygen‐containing organic compounds such as alcohols, esters, and ketones , .…”
