Article Synopsis
- - Tonsil Actisil FF, a type of commercial bentonitic clay, effectively helps create cycloveratrylene macrocycles and benzyl oligomers from benzyl alcohols when using microwave heating or infrared irradiation without any solvent.
- - The outcome of the catalytic reaction varies based on the substituents on the aromatic ring; specific substitutions can lead to different oligomerization processes.
- - Computational chemistry was utilized to develop a mechanistic pathway that explains how the linear oligomers are formed during the reaction.
Article Synopsis
- * The resulting compounds are variously sized linear isomers, including dimers, trimers, tetramers, and a pentamer, as confirmed by their spectroscopic data.
- * Computational chemistry methods, specifically density-functional theory calculations, helped clarify the chemical reactions involved, focusing on properties like dipole moments and electronic distributions of the molecules produced.
