N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal synthesis method

The invention discloses an N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal synthesis method. The synthesis method includes: subjecting N,N-dimethylformamide and dimethyl sulfate to reaction to generate an imine complex, and subjecting the imine complex and solid sodium methylate dispersed in an organic solvent to reaction to obtain N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal, wherein the organic solvent refers to at least one of isoparaffin, solvent oil and white oil. By adoption of the novel organic solvent, reaction conditions (with the temperature being 20-30DEG C) of the imine complex and the sodium methylate can be lowered, and the reaction conditions are milder. In addition, when the reaction temperature is compared with an original reaction temperature ranging from -5 DEG C to 0 DEG C, products generated after reaction are quicker in dissolution and can be timely dissolved in the organic solvent to be wrapped by the organic solvent, so that by-product generation is avoided, and yield is increased. According to experiments, yield of the N,N-dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal can reach 85% above.

Novel process for preparing 4,4-difluoro-((2-dialkylamino) methylene)-3-oxobutanic acid alkyl ester

The present invention relates to a novel method for preparing 4,4-difluoro-((2-dialkylamino) methylene)-3-oxobutanic acid alkyl ester which is represented by the following chemical formula ( I ) and useful as a manufacturing intermediate for fungicides such as isopyrazam, sedaxane, bixafen and the like. In the formula ( I ), R 1 and R 2 are each a C 1 to C 4 alkyl group, and R is a methyl group or an ethyl group. The compound of the formula ( I ) is produced by reacting dialkylformamide dialkyl acetal with a difluoro ketoester.

Bredereck's reagent revisited: Latent anionic ring-opening polymerization and transesterification reactions

The ring-opening polymerization of lactide with commercially available Bredereck-type reagents in the presence or absence of alcohol initiators was carried out affording polylactide with controlled molecular weight and narrow polydispersities. An anionic mechanism involving heterolytic cleavage to alkoxides is proposed, where these reagents function as latent anionic initiators for the ring-opening polymerization of lactide.

Novel Syntheses of 2-Butyl-5-chloro-3H-imidazole-4-carbaldehyde: A Key Intermediate for the Synthesis of the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan

Reaction of glycine methyl ester (19) with imidate 18 under carefully optimized conditions allowed preparation of the rather unstable imidazolinone 11 in ca. 90% yield. Reaction of 11 with POCl3/ DMF followed by aqueous workup gave aldehyde 2, a key intermediate for the synthesis of the angiotensin II antagonist Losartan, in ca. 55% yield. Structural identification of intermediates and byproducts formed during both the reaction to prepare 11 and the reaction of 11 with POCl3/DMF allowed development of several closely related syntheses of aldehyde 2.
