Usage

General Description

2-Methyl-1-Hexanol is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty alcohols, a group distinguished by the presence of one or more hydroxyl groups attached to a long aliphatic chain. 2-METHYL-1-HEXANOL is characterized by a branched, seven-carbon structure with the molecular formula C7H16O. In its pure form, it's a colorless liquid that has a sweet, floral, and tropical fruit-like odor. This substance is sparingly soluble in water and is typically used as a solvent or as a raw material in the synthesis of other chemical products. Commercially, it has several applications in the production of flavors and fragrances. However, exposure to 2-Methyl-1-Hexanol may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, and respiratory tract.

Highly efficient NHC-iridium-catalyzed β-methylation of alcohols with methanol at low catalyst loadings

The methylation of alcohols is of great importance since a broad number of bioactive and pharmaceutical alcohols contain methyl groups. Here, a highly efficient β-methylation of primary and secondary alcohols with methanol has been achieved by using bis-N-heterocyclic carbene iridium (bis-NHC-Ir) complexes. Broad substrate scope and up to quantitative yields were achieved at low catalyst loadings with only hydrogen and water as by-products. The protocol was readily extended to the β-alkylation of alcohols with several primary alcohols. Control experiments, along with DFT calculations and crystallographic studies, revealed that the ligand effect is critical to their excellent catalytic performance, shedding light on more challenging Guerbet reactions with simple alcohols.

Carbon monoxide and hydrogen (syngas) as a C1-building block for selective catalytic methylation

A catalytic reaction using syngas (CO/H2) as feedstock for the selective β-methylation of alcohols was developed whereby carbon monoxide acts as a C1 source and hydrogen gas as a reducing agent. The overall transformation occurs through an intricate network of metal-catalyzed and base-mediated reactions. The molecular complex [Mn(CO)2Br[HN(C2H4PiPr2)2]]1comprising earth-abundant manganese acts as the metal component in the catalytic system enabling the generation of formaldehyde from syngas in a synthetically useful reaction. This new syngas conversion opens pathways to install methyl branches at sp3carbon centers utilizing renewable feedstocks and energy for the synthesis of biologically active compounds, fine chemicals, and advanced biofuels.
