Description

3-Methoxythioanisole is a transfer catalyst that catalyzes the transfer of hydrogen peroxide from an alkali metal salt to an organic substrate. The reaction proceeds via a monoprotonated intermediate. 3-Methoxythioanisole can be used for the synthesis of esters, amides and nitriles. 3-Methoxythioanisole is also a hydrophilic catalyst and can be used in phase transfer catalysis. This compound is derived from the oxidation of thiophene by hydrogen peroxide, which produces a polyoxometalate as a byproduct. 3-Methoxythioanisole has been shown to be effective in catalyzing reactions between ammonium salts and phosphotungstate, yielding ammonium tungstate or hydroxylammonium tungstate as products.
