Traditional synthetic processes typically employ sodium hydroxide in aqueous solution, which results in low product yields and generates large quantities of wastewater. In this study, calcium oxide is utilized as an alternative to sodium hydroxide, and the aldol condensation is carried out in anhydrous ethanol. Calcium oxide not only serves as a basic catalyst for the aldol condensation reaction but also reacts with the generated water to form calcium hydroxide, thereby removing water from the reaction system. This effectively shifts the equilibrium of the aldol condensation reaction, leading to a higher conversion rate of isovanillin and a significantly improved yield of 3-hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamaldehyde, reaching 85.2%. This study provides a novel and efficient green synthetic approach to 3-hydroxy-4-methoxycinnamaldehyde, offering significant potential for industrial applications.","PeriodicalId":49451,"journal":{"name":"Synthesis-Stuttgart","volume":"57 12","pages":"1965-1974"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147891229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, treatment of tribromomethyl compounds with an N-heterocyclic carbene–borane (NHC-BH2CN) as a boryl radical precursor in the presence of dilauroyl peroxide (DLP) as radical initiator afforded monobromomethyl compounds through consecutive bromine atom abstractions to cleave two C–Br bonds.
