| Application: | Zirconium (IV) chloride acts as an efficient Lewis acid catalyst for various reactions; such as: • electrophilic addition reaction of indole with aldehydes/ketones to form bis(indolyl)methanes. electrophilic amination of activated arenes, • transthioacetylization of acetals, • deoxygenation of heterocyclic-N-oxides, • reduction of nitro compounds, • conversion of carbonyl compounds to 1,3-oxathiolanes, • Biginelli reaction for the synthesis of 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H • direct amide coupling of non activated carboxylic acids and amines, • synthesis of quinoxalines and pyrido[2,3-b]pyrazines, • deprotection of t-butyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) ethers. Activates pyrrolidines for improved conversion, via a modified Bouveault reaction, to the corresponding α,α-dimethylamines. |
