Usage

General Description

2-propoxyethyl bromoacetate is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C5H9BrO3, and it is primarily used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a pungent odor, and it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. 2-propoxyethyl bromoacetate is a potential irritant to the skin, eyes, and respiratory system, and it should be handled with care in a well-ventilated area while wearing appropriate protective equipment. It is commonly used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and other industrial applications as a key building block in the modification of organic molecules. Due to its reactivity and potential hazards, it is important to handle and store 2-propoxyethyl bromoacetate in accordance with safety guidelines and regulations.

Selective hydrogenation of trans-cinnamaldehyde and hydrogenolysis-free hydrogenation of benzyl cinnamate in imidazolium ILs

trans-Cinnamaldehyde is selectively hydrogenated to hydrocinnamaldehyde using a commercially available palladium catalyst in novel imidazolium ILs. The selective hydrogenation extends to benzyl cinnamate, in which the ester is protected from hydrogenolysis under similar conditions.

BIODEGRADABLE SOLVENTS FOR THE CHEMICAL INDUSTRY

This invention relates to ionic liquid (ILs) solvents for chemical synthesis based on an alkyl - imidazolium cation core containing ionic liquids which have enhanced biodegradability and reduced toxicity relative to existing imidazolium bases ILs such as 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (bmmim) salts. Many of the described ILs produce a score of over 60% biodegradability over 28 days in a biodegradability test such as the Sturm Test, the Closed Bottle Test (OECD 301D) or the CO2 Headspace Test (ISO 14593). The ILs of the invention comprise an alkyl substituted imidazolium cationic core having a -C=OX- side chain in the 3-position of the imidazole ring, wherein X = O, NH, N or S and an associated counteranion characterized in that the -C=OX side chain comprises at least one ether linkage. The biodegradable and non-toxic IL may be used as green solvents for the chemical, pharmaceutical, biofuel and biomass industries. The ILs of the invention are particularly useful in hydrogenation, pericyclic and metathesis reactions.
