1,4-Dimethoxy-2-butyne (cas: 16356-02-8) 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. Ethers can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules (alcohols, amines, etc.) that have O―H or N―H bonds. The ability to form hydrogen bonds with other compounds makes ethers particularly good solvents for a wide variety of organic compounds and a surprisingly large number of inorganic compounds.Recommanded Product: 1,4-Dimethoxy-2-butyne

A practical method for electrochem. iodination of aromatic compounds was developed.

The reaction with highly reactive aromatic compounds gave significant amounts of diiodo compounds in a macrobatch reactor.

Desymmetrization of diarylphosphinamides Ar2P(O)NHQ (Q = 8-quinolinyl) catalyzed by cobalt chiral Salox complexes (Salox = 2-(4-R-2-hydroxyphenyl)-4-phenyl-5-R1-oxazole) proceeds as dehydrogenative aromatic C-H alkoxylation and amination in one or both o-positions of one of the Ar rings. The past decade has witnessed a rapid progress in asym. C-H activation. However, the enantioselective C-H alkoxylation and amination with alcs. and free amines remains elusive. Herein, we disclose the first enantioselective dehydrogenative C-H alkoxylation and amination enabled by a simple cobalt/salicyloxazoline (Salox) catalysis. The use of cheap and readily available cobalt(II) salts as catalysts and Saloxs as chiral ligands provides an efficient method to access P-stereogenic compounds in excellent enantioselectivities (up to >99% ee). The practicality of this protocol is demonstrated by gram-scale preparation and further derivatizations of the resulting P-stereogenic phosphinamides, which offering a flexible asym. alternative to access P-stereogenic mono- and diphosphine chiral ligands.

We studied the solute-induced perturbation of the solvent environment around a solute species from a microscopic viewpoint and propose a novel approach to the understanding of the structure-making/breaking process, regardless of the type and nature of the solute-solvent interactions. Based on the Kirkwood-Buff fluctuation formalism, we present a rigorous statistical mechanics description of the evolution of the solvent structure around the solute, analyze its response to small perturbations of the (TP) state conditions and composition of the system, and make direct connections between a few equivalent micro- and macroscopic manifestations as probes for, and targets of, exptl. measurements. We illustrate the anal. with theor. results from integral equation calculations of model fluids and exptl. evidence from available data for a variety of aqueous electrolyte and nonelectrolyte real fluid solutions Finally, we provide a critical discussion about the inadequacy underlying a widely used de facto criterion for the classification of structure-making/breaking solutes.
