2-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenoxy)ethanol
CAS:<p>2-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenoxy)ethanol is a cleavage agent that can be used for the synthesis of lignin model compounds. It is a benzylic ether that is catalyzed by laccase to produce 2,6-dimethoxybenzaldehyde. The compound can be used as a substrate for versicolor or peroxy cleavage reactions. Versicolor cleavage is performed with 1-hydroxybenzotriazole, while peroxy cleavage is performed with hydrogen peroxide. 2-(2,6-Dimethoxyphenoxy)ethanol has been shown to have radical properties and reacts with molecular oxygen and ethanone in the presence of deuterium gas to form 2,6-dimethoxyacetophenone.</p>Formula:C10H14O4Purity:Min. 95%Color and Shape:PowderMolecular weight:198.22 g/mol
