Abstract:Water-mediated organic reactions significantly contribute
to the
protection of the environment. Desymmetrization reactions, which convert
only one of the identical functional groups within one molecule, are
cost-effective because of the low cost of the starting materials.
In combination with these two merits, highly efficient and practical
selective monohydrolysis reactions of symmetric diesters were previously
reported. The products of these reactions are versatile building blocks.
The mechanisms of this reac… Show more
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.
