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 Synthesis of the dibenzofuran-based diphosphine ligand BIFAP and its water-soluble derivative BIFAPS and their use in ruthenium-catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation., published in 1999-09-30, which mentions a compound: 53562-86-0, Name is (S)-Methyl 3-hydroxybutanoate, Molecular C5H10O3, Application of 53562-86-0.
The syntheses of both enantiomers of the novel diphosphine ligand 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-bidibenzofuranyl (BIFAP) and the water-soluble analog (-)-2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphino)-1,1′-bidibenzofuranyl-8,8′-disulfonic acid dipotassium salt (BIFAPS) are reported. Advantage is taken of the very high regioselectivity in ring functionalization of the 1,1′-bidibenzofuranyl backbone. These ligands were used in the Ru-catalyzed hydrogenation of Me acetoacetate and (Z)-acetamidocinnamic acid in MeOH and H2O. In MeOH both BIFAP and BIFAPS give the products in very high enantiomeric excess. With BIFAPS in H2O a slight drop in the ee of the products is observed When BIFAPS was used with either H2O or MeOH as the solvent the addition of a small amount of acid turns out to be essential for a fast reaction and high asym. induction.
There is still a lot of research devoted to this compound(SMILES：C[C@H](O)CC(OC)=O)Application of 53562-86-0, and with the development of science, more effects of this compound(53562-86-0) can be discovered.
