Ring transformation of dimethoxybenzenes to heterocycles by ozonolysis was written by Yoshida, Yuki;Ichikawa, Satoshi;Shinozuka, Yuka;Satoh, Mitsuru;Mohri, Kunihiko;Isobe, Kimiaki. And the article was included in Heterocycles in 2005.Recommanded Product: 3929-47-3 This article mentions the following:
Dimethoxybenzene derivatives, which have a hydroxyalkyl or an aminoalkyl side-chain, were oxidized with ozone and transformed to heterocycles by ring closure reaction of the oxidative products. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-ol (cas: 3929-47-3Recommanded Product: 3929-47-3).
3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-ol (cas: 3929-47-3) belongs to ethers. Relative to alcohols, ethers are generally less dense, are less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points. They are relatively unreactive, and as a result they are useful as solvents for fats, oils, waxes, perfumes, resins, dyes, gums, and hydrocarbons. Vapours of certain ethers are used as insecticides, miticides, and fumigants for soil. The unique properties of ethers (i.e., that they are strongly polar, with nonbonding electron pairs but no hydroxyl group) enhance the formation and use of many reagents. For example, Grignard reagents cannot form unless an ether is present to share its lone pair of electrons with the magnesium atom. Complexation of the magnesium atom stabilizes the Grignard reagent and helps to keep it in solution.Recommanded Product: 3929-47-3
