Abstract
Although a variety of acid-generating molecules have been developed, the formation of toxic byproducts and the need for light-activation or temperatures that may be incompatible with physiological conditions leave room for the optimization of biocompatible acid-generators. Herein, we report 4-hydroxybenzyl chloride derivatives that generate hydrochloric acid via hydrolysis at the benzylic position at room temperature in the absence of light. Utilizing the acetal protected 4-hydroxybenzyl chloride scaffold, we access a myriad of compounds that generate acid at different rates.
期刊介绍:
ChemistryOpen is a multidisciplinary, gold-road open-access, international forum for the publication of outstanding Reviews, Full Papers, and Communications from all areas of chemistry and related fields. It is co-owned by 16 continental European Chemical Societies, who have banded together in the alliance called ChemPubSoc Europe for the purpose of publishing high-quality journals in the field of chemistry and its border disciplines. As some of the governments of the countries represented in ChemPubSoc Europe have strongly recommended that the research conducted with their funding is freely accessible for all readers (Open Access), ChemPubSoc Europe was concerned that no journal for which the ethical standards were monitored by a chemical society was available for such papers. ChemistryOpen fills this gap.
