Uses
2,5-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde is used in the preparation of 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine, which is utilized to prepare psychoactive drugs such as 2,5-dimethoxy-4-bromophenethylamine, 2,5-dimethoxy-4-iodophenethylamine and 4-Chloro-2,5-dimethoxy-phenethylamine. It acts as an intermediate in organic synthesis.
Application
2,5-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde, also known as 2C-H, is an organic compound and a benzaldehyde derivative. It can be used to produce 2,5-dimethoxyphenethylamine. 2C-H is also used to produce many other substituted phenethylamines such as 2C-B, 2C-I and 2C-C.
Preparation
2,5-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde synthesis: Anethole is oxidized to anisaldehyde , which after isolation is subjected to a BaeyerVilliger oxidation reaction with performic or peracetic acid. The O-formyl-4-methoxyphenol obtained this way is hydrolyzed . 4-Methoxyphenol is subsequently formylated using the Reimer-Tiemann method and the obtained 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde is methylated with dimethylsulfate to 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde.ReactionA : Anisaldehyde from anethole via oxidative cleavage: 20 g anise oil was suspended in a mixture of 150 mL water and 30 mL conc. sulfuric acid; addition of 55 g sodium bichromate at such a rate that the temperature did not exceed 40°C. The reaction mixture was extracted with 4 x 125 mL toluene and the solvent evaporated. The residual oil was vacuum distilled to yield 9.1 g anisaldehyde.B : O-formyl-4-methoxyphenol: 6 mL anisaldehyde was dissolved in 75 mL dichloromethane (DCM). A mixture of 12 g hydrogen peroxide and 10 mL conc. formic acid was added over 30 min. The reaction mixture was gently refluxed for 21 h.C: B 4-methoxyphenol: Evaporating the solvent from reaction mixture and taking up the residue in 100 mL aqueous NaOH (20%) (25 mL MeOH as co-solvent) yielded 4.1 g 4-methoxyphenol as a white crystalline product after the usual work-up and purification steps.D : Reimer-Tiemann formylation of 4-methoxyphenol: 124.1 g 4-methoxyphenol was dissolved in NaOH solution (320 g NaOH in 400 mL water). In total, 161 mL chloroform was added. The usual work-up and steam distillation yielded 109.8 g of a clear yellow oil that did not solidify upon standing at room temperature (GC/MS: 94% 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde).E: D Methylation of 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde: The yellow oil from was used without further purification. A 250 mL RB flask was charged with 100 mL acetone, 14 g anhydrous potassium carbonate and 10 g 2-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzaldehyde; the mixture was brought at reflux temperature and 11 g dimethyl sulfate was added. The reaction was continued for 4 hours. The solvent is evaporated and the crude end product crystallized in cold water. Recrystallization from EtOH/water yielded 8.3 g 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde (GC/MS: 98%+ 2,5-dimethoxybenzaldehyde)
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 93-02-7 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 9 and 3 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 2 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 93-02:
(4*9)+(3*3)+(2*0)+(1*2)=47
47 % 10 = 7
So 93-02-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Metal single-atom catalysts (SACs) promise great rewards in terms of metal atom efficiency. However, the requirement of particular conditions and supports for their synthesis, together with the need of solvents and additives for catalytic implementation, often precludes their use under industrially viable conditions. Here, we show that palladium single atoms are spontaneously formed after dissolving tiny amounts of palladium salts in neat benzyl alcohols, to catalyze their direct aerobic oxidation to benzoic acids without ligands, additives, or solvents. With this result in hand, the gram-scale preparation and stabilization of Pd SACs within the functional channels of a novel methyl-cysteine-based metal-organic framework (MOF) was accomplished, to give a robust and crystalline solid catalyst fully characterized with the help of single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SCXRD). These results illustrate the advantages of metal speciation in ligand-free homogeneous organic reactions and the translation into solid catalysts for potential industrial implementation.

We report here the first example of cross-coupling between two different and unactivated C(aryl)-O bonds with chromium catalysis. The combination of a low-cost Cr(II) salt, 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-dipyridyl (dtbpy) as the ligand, and magnesium as the reductant shows high reactivity in promoting the reductive cross-coupling of aryl methyl ether derivatives with aryl esters by cleavage and coupling of two different C(aryl)-O bonds under mild conditions. The formation of active low-valent Cr species by reduction of CrCl2 with Mg can be considered, which prefers to initially activate the C(aryl)-O bond of phenyl methyl ether with the chelation help of dtbpy and an o-imine auxiliary. The subsequent consecutive reduction, second C(aryl)-O activation, and reductive elimination allow for the achievement of selective cross-coupling of C(aryl)-O/C(aryl)-O bonds.
