Product Information

• Name: 1,2,3-Trimethoxybenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,2,3-Trimethoxybenzene is an organic compound with the formula CH(OCH)3. It is a colorless liquid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. The compound has been shown to undergo Friedel-Crafts reactions with amides to form diazonium salts, which are then hydrolyzed to give glycol ethers. It can be used as a structural probe for methyltransferase inhibitors such as trimethyl. 1,2,3-Trimethoxybenzene can also undergo demethylation and transfer reactions with nucleophiles such as hydrochloric acid or glycol ethers. The chemical shifts of 1,2,3-trimethoxybenzene in NMR spectra are characteristic for the methoxy groups that are present on the benzene ring.
