Usage

General Description

(3,3-diethoxypropyl)benzene, also known as DEPB, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C13H20O2. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is commonly used as a fragrance and flavoring agent in the production of perfumes, as well as in the manufacturing of household products and industrial chemicals. DEPB is also utilized as a solvent in various applications, and as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. It is important to handle DEPB with caution, as it may cause skin and eye irritation upon contact, and should be stored in a cool, dry place away from ignition sources and incompatible materials.

Practical acetalization and transacetalization of carbonyl compounds catalyzed by recyclable PVP-I

A novel PVP-I catalyzed acetalizations/transacetalizations of carbonyl compounds has been developed processing with a mild and easy handling fashion. Different types of Acyclic and cyclic acetals were prepared from carbonyl compounds or their acetals successfully. Further applications of newly developed catalytic combination were testified. This protocol featured with simplicity of operation, mild reaction condition, short reaction time, recyclable of catalyst and broad substrates scope with excellent yields.

Photo-organocatalytic synthesis of acetals from aldehydes

A mild and green photo-organocatalytic protocol for the highly efficient acetalization of aldehydes has been developed. Utilizing thioxanthenone as the photocatalyst and inexpensive household lamps as the light source, a variety of aromatic and aliphatic aldehydes have been converted into acyclic and cyclic acetals in high yields. The reaction mechanism was extensively studied.

Antimony(v) catalyzed acetalisation of aldehydes: An efficient, solvent-free, and recyclable process

A highly selective, solvent-free process for the acetalisation of aldehydes was achieved by the use of a readily accessible antimony(v) catalyst which we previously prepared in our lab as a tetraarylstibonium triflate salt ([1][OTf]). High yields of the acetals were achieved in the presence of stoichimetric amounts of either triethoxymethane or triethoxysilane. It was found that triethoxymethane reactions required longer time to reach completion when compared to triethoxysilane reactions which were completed upon mixing of the reagents. The products can be easily separated from the catalyst by distillation which enabled further use of [1][OTf] in additional calytic reactions (up to 6 cycles). Moreover, [1]+ also catalyzed the deprotection of the acetals into their corresponding aldehydes using only water as a solvent.
