Usage

General Description

4,5-Dimethylbenzene-1,2-dimethanol is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of aromatic alcohols, which are compounds containing a benzene ring in which at least one hydrogen atom is replaced by a hydroxy group. The systematic name of the chemical is 4,5-dimethyl-1,2-benzenedimethanol. It is composed of multiple methyl and hydroxyl groups attaching to a benzene ring, contributing to its molecular formula C10H14O2. Its usage, synthesis, properties, and effects on the environment or human health are not widespread or well-studied, so information about these subjects is quite limited. Also, the safety data, handling precautions or potential applications are also not well documented, hence it demands cautious usage due to potential unpredictable effects.

A Unified Catalytic Asymmetric (4+1) and (5+1) Annulation Strategy to Access Chiral Spirooxindole-Fused Oxacycles

A unified catalytic asymmetric (N+1) (N=4, 5) annulation reaction of oxindoles with bifunctional peroxides has been achieved in the presence of a chiral phase-transfer catalyst (PTC). This general strategy utilizes peroxides as unique bielectrophilic four- or five-atom synthons to participate in the C?C and the subsequent umpolung C?O bond-forming reactions with one-carbon unit nucleophiles, thus providing a distinct method to access the valuable chiral spirooxindole-tetrahydrofurans and -tetrahydropyrans with good yields and high enantioselectivities under mild conditions. DFT calculations were performed to rationalize the origin of high enantioselectivity. The gram-scale syntheses and synthetic utility of the resultant products were also demonstrated.

Closely stacked oligo(phenylene ethynylene)s: Effect of π-stacking on the electronic properties of conjugated chromophores

In this work, a bicyclo[4.4.1]undecane scaffold is used to hold oligo(phenylene ethynylene) units in a cofacially stacked arrangement along the entire length of the conjugated units. We study the impact that the resulting strong interchain interactions ha
