intermediates under mild reaction conditions has been an important challenge with attractive prospective in organicsynthesis. In this work, we show the efficient combination of an electrophilic iron catalyst with a lithium Lewisacid for the functionalization of strong Csp3−H bonds of cyclic and linear alkanes by the activation of commercially available ethyl diazoacetate (EDA). The reaction proceeds with good
A fragrance, having a 2-cyclohexyl-1,1-dimethyl ethanol derivative represented by formula (1),
wherein R represents a hydrogen atom or an acetyl group, Me represents a methyl group and n represents an integer from 0 to 3, provides a very pleasing scent, has excellent stability in a product, and can be mixed well with other fragrances.
