Most of the compounds have physiologically active properties, and their biological properties are often attributed to the heteroatoms contained in their molecules, and most of these heteroatoms also appear in cyclic structures. A Journal, Article, ACS Catalysis called Enantioselective Electroreductive Coupling of Alkenyl and Benzyl Halides via Nickel Catalysis, Author is DeLano, Travis J.; Reisman, Sarah E., which mentions a compound: 29046-78-4, SMILESS is COCCOC.Cl[Ni]Cl, Molecular C4H10Cl2NiO2, Quality Control of Nickel(II) chloride ethylene glycol dimethyl ether complex.
An electrochem. driven enantioselective nickel-catalyzed reductive cross-coupling of alkenyl bromides and benzyl chlorides is reported. The reaction forms products bearing allylic stereogenic centers with good enantioselectivity under mild conditions in an undivided cell. Electrochem. activation and turnover of the catalyst mitigate issues posed by metal powder reductants. This report demonstrates that enantioselective Ni-catalyzed cross-electrophile couplings can be driven electrochem.
As far as I know, this compound(29046-78-4)Quality Control of Nickel(II) chloride ethylene glycol dimethyl ether complex can be applied in many ways, which is helpful for the development of experiments. Therefore many people are doing relevant researches.
