Usage

General Description

Ethylene Glycol Dibenzyl Ether is a clear, colorless liquid with a pleasant odor that is used primarily as a solvent in various industrial processes. It is frequently employed in the production of coatings, adhesives, and inks as well as in the manufacturing of electrical and electronic components. Due to its high boiling point and low volatility, it is also used as a heat transfer fluid in heating and cooling systems. Additionally, it is utilized as a stabilizer in the production of natural and synthetic rubber. However, it is important to note that ethylene glycol dibenzyl ether can be harmful if inhaled, ingested, or absorbed through the skin, and precautions should be taken when handling this chemical.

Intramolecular activation of imidate with cationic gold(I) catalyst: A new benzylation reaction of alcohols

Benzylation of alcohols with benzyl (Z)-2,2,2-trifluoro-N-(2-alkynylphenyl)acetimidates 5a-f in the presence of a cationic gold(I) catalyst was investigated. Reagent 5f was the most effective, affording benzyl ethers in good yields. Our results indicate that these gold(I)-activated imidates are effective leaving groups.

Ferric perchlorate as an efficient and useful catalyst for the selective benzylation and methylation of alcohols with benzyl chloride and methyl iodide

A mild and efficient method was developed for selective benzylation and methylation of hydroxyl compounds in the presence of a catalytic amount of ferric perchlorate. We showed that ferric perchlorate was very effective in selectively promoting the benzylation and methylation of primary aliphatic and benzylic alcohols versus secondary aliphatic alcohols and phenolic hydroxy groups.
