2,6-Dimethoxytoluene

Description:

2,6-Dimethoxytoluene is an aromatic organic compound characterized by the presence of two methoxy groups (-OCH3) attached to a toluene backbone. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a methyl group and two methoxy substituents located at the 2 and 6 positions, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor. It is relatively non-polar, making it soluble in organic solvents while having limited solubility in water. 2,6-Dimethoxytoluene is often used as an intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other fine chemicals. Its methoxy groups can participate in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution and nucleophilic attacks, enhancing its utility in synthetic chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

CAS: 5673-07-4

2,6-Dimethoxytoluene is a regiospecific pentafluorophenyl compound with a thermal isomerization. It is an extractive yield that can be isolated from the reaction of acetaldehyde and formaldehyde in the presence of an imine. The process of making 2,6-dimethoxytoluene begins by reacting chloromethane with oxygenated tetrafluorobenzyne to make an intermediate. Then, this intermediate reacts with methoxylated fatty acids to create the final product. This reaction is stereoselective because it produces only one stereoisomer of 2,6-dimethoxytoluene.
