Description

3-Methoxyphenylmethylcarbinol is a hydrogen tartrate that can be used as an intermediate in the Friedel-Crafts reaction. It is also an imine, which is formed when a nitrogen atom of an amine reacts with a carbon atom of formaldehyde. 3-Methoxyphenylmethylcarbinol has been shown to have stereoselective properties in the Friedel-Crafts reaction, which means that only one product is produced from two reactants. In this case, the hydrogen tartrate and phosphorus oxychloride are reacted to produce oxone and chloride compounds. The selectivity of 3-methoxyphenylmethylcarbinol can be increased by adding triphosgene or dimethylamine to the reaction mixture. This compound dissociates easily into its component parts and can be regenerated by adding ethyl formate or ferrocene.
