Graphene oxide (GO) is a carbon material with wide chem., and its functionalization represents the main challenge to develop multi-functional materials for different applications. Besides to epoxide and carboxyl groups, the alkenes that arise during the graphite oxidation seem to provide an excellent approach for developing selective reactions. In specific, α,β-unsaturated acids can be functionalized by thiol-ene Michael addition (TEMA) using base catalysts. However, when base catalysts are used, the thiol-epoxide ring opening reaction (TEROR) has been considered as the predominant and unique reaction. Therefore, there is a need to understand the reactivity of the GO when TEMA and TEROR take place from a qual. and quant. point of view. Herein, we studied the functionalization of GO and reduced graphene oxide (RGO) with cysteamine (CA) using different base catalysts. XPS results revealed that despite the thermal reduction of GO, the functionalization was possible confirming the coupling reaction between the CA and α,β-unsaturated acids of RGO by TEMA. In addition, a quant. anal. was conducted via fluorescent labeling corroborating that TEMA produced more CA mols. bonded to GO than TEROR. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 4-Phenyl-3H,3’H-spiro[furan-2,1′-isobenzofuran]-3,3′-dione (cas: 38183-12-9Computed Properties of C17H10O4).
4-Phenyl-3H,3’H-spiro[furan-2,1′-isobenzofuran]-3,3′-dione (cas: 38183-12-9) belongs to benzofurans derivatives. Benzofuran is a core structural unit found in many naturally occurring compounds with multidirectional biological activities. As benzofurans are prone to undergo ring opening of the heterocycle, examples of reduction of this type of aromatics by using dissolving metals are rather scarce.Computed Properties of C17H10O4
