New Advances in Chemical Research, April 2021. Because a catalyst decreases the height of the energy barrier, its presence increases the reaction rates of both the forward and the reverse reactions by the same amount. Introduce a common compound, CAS is 21905-86-2, Name is Cinnoline-4-carboxylic acid, belongs to cinnoline compound. 21905-86-2
A solution of cinnoline-4-carboxylic acid (183 mg, 1.02 mmol) in methylene chloride (20 ml) was reacted with EDCI (195 mg, 1.02 mmol) and HOBt (138 mg, 1.02 mmol) for 20 min and then stirred, together with 4b-amino-9b-hydroxy-7-isopropyl-4b,9b-dihydro-5-oxa-indeno[2,1-a]-inden-10-one (250 mg, 0.85 mmol), overnight at room temperature. After extraction with methylene chloride and water, the organic layer was dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in a vacuum. Purification by column chromatography (ethylacetate:n-hexane=1:1) afforded the title compound as a white solid (290 mg, 63%). [0846] 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CD3OD) delta 1.15 (d, J=6.8 Hz, 6H, CH3), 2.82 (sep, J=6.8 Hz, 1H, CH), 6.69 (s, 1H, ArH), 6.89 (d, J=7.8 Hz, 1H, ArH), 7.45 (d, J=7.9 Hz, 1H, ArH), 7.65 (m, 1H, ArH), 7.858.03 (m, 5H, ArH) 8.42 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H, ArH), 8.51 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, ArH), 9.45 (s, 1H, ArH).
But sometimes, even after several years of basic chemistry education, it is not easy to form a clear picture on how they govern reactivity!, 21905-86-2
