Application of 707-07-3, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 707-07-3, name is (Trimethoxymethyl)benzene belongs to ethers-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
General procedure: 2-Nitroaniline derivative (1 mmol) was added to a mixture of indium powder (574 mg, 5.0 mmol for 2-nitroaniline, 918 mg 8.0 mmol for 1,2-dinitroarene), and acetic acid (0.572 mL, 10 mmol) in ethyl acetate (2 mL), followed by the addition of trimethyl orthoester (2.0 mmol) in ethyl acetate (3 mL for 2-nitroaniline; 8 mL for 1,2-dinitroarene). The reaction mixture was stirred at reflux under a nitrogen atmosphere. After the reaction was completed, the reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate (30 mL), filtered through Celite, poured into 10% NaHCO3 (30 mL), and then extracted with ethyl acetate (30 mL×3). The combined organic extracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated. The residue was eluted with ethyl acetate/hexane (v/v=10/90) for 2-phenylbenzimidazole derivatives or methanol/dichloromethane (v/v=1/99) for 2-methylbenzimidazole derivatives through a silica gel column to give the corresponding benzimidazoles. The structures of the benzimidazoles were characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, FTIR, and GC-MS, and were mostly known compounds. HRMS data were reported in addition for unknown compounds.
The synthetic route of (Trimethoxymethyl)benzene has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
