Formula: Cu2O, The dynamic chemical diversity of the numerous elements, ions and molecules that constitute the basis of life provides wide challenges and opportunities for research. In an article, once mentioned the application of 1317-39-1, Name is Copper(I) oxide, is a conventional compound.
A process for the preparation of a 4-arylthioaniline from the corresponding 4-unsubstituted aniline which comprises reacting the latter with an alkali metal thiocyanate in the presence of halogen to provide the 4-thiocyanoaniline, reacting it with an alkali metal sulfide to convert the thiocyano moiety to an alkali metal mercaptide group followed by heating with cuprous oxide then with an aryl halide to form the desired product.
The catalyzed pathway has a lower Ea, but the net change in energy that results from the reaction is not affected by the presence of a catalyst. In my other articles, you can also check out more blogs about 1317-39-1
