In general, if the atoms that make up the ring contain heteroatoms, such rings become heterocycles, and organic compounds containing heterocycles are called heterocyclic compounds. An article called Transfer hydrogenation in water: enantioselective, catalytic reduction of (E)-β,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes, published in 2009-09-17, which mentions a compound: 313342-24-4, Name is N-((1S,2S)-2-Amino-1,2-diphenylethyl)-2,3,4,5,6-pentafluorobenzenesulfonamide, Molecular C20H15F5N2O2S, Category: tetrahydrofurans.
A mild catalytic asym. transfer hydrogenation of β,β-disubstituted nitroalkenes is reported. Formic acid is used as a reductant in combination with an Ir catalyst. The reaction is conducted in water at low pH and open to air to give adducts in preparatively useful yield and selectivity.
As far as I know, this compound(313342-24-4)Category: tetrahydrofurans can be applied in many ways, which is helpful for the development of experiments. Therefore many people are doing relevant researches.
