Application

As reported by the Alexanian. laboratory, this reagent is used for site-selective, intermolecular C-H xanthylation of alkanes, leading to the rapid diversification of otherwise inert C-H bonds. Once installed, the xanthate group provides direct access to diverse product analogues via several aliphatic C-H transformations, including halogenation, deuteration, vinylation, and hydroxylation. Product is best stored in foil-wrapped vials in the freezer when not in use; however, it can be weighed out on the bench without risk of decomposition. This product is offered collaboratively with UNC-Chapel Hill and Erik Alexanian.

Journal of the American Chemical Society (2016-10-16)
Intermolecular functionalizations of aliphatic C-H bonds offer unique strategies for the synthesis and late-stage derivatization of complex molecules, but the chemical space accessible remains limited. Herein, we report a transformation significantly expanding the chemotypes accessible via C-H functionalization. The C-H
