Ranu, Brindaban C.;Jana, Ranjan;Samanta, Sampak published 《A simple, efficient and general procedure for acetalization of carbonyl compounds and deprotection of acetals under the catalysis of indium(III) chloride》 in 2004. The article was appeared in 《Advanced Synthesis & Catalysis》. They have made some progress in their research.Related Products of 2235-01-0 The article mentions the following:
Indium(III) chloride efficiently catalyzed the protection of a variety of aldehydes and ketones to their corresponding 1,3-dioxolanes and dialkyl acetals in refluxing cyclohexane. However, deprotection of acetals was also achieved in refluxing aqueous MeOH under the catalysis of In(III) chloride. And Dimethoxydiphenylmethane (cas: 2235-01-0) was used in the research process.
Dimethoxydiphenylmethane is one of ethers-buliding-blocks. Ethers feature bent C–O–C linkages. In dimethyl ether, the bond angle is 111° and C–O distances are 141 pm. The barrier to rotation about the C–O bonds is low. Related Products of 2235-01-0 The bonding of oxygen in ethers, alcohols, and water is similar. In the language of valence bond theory, the hybridization at oxygen is sp3.
