Reactivity Profile

2-(2-Ethoxyethoxy)ethyl acetate is an ester. Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.

A lewis acid-promoted pinner reaction

Carbonitriles and alcohols react in a Lewis acid-promoted Pinner reaction to carboxylic esters. Best results are obtained with two equivalents of trimethylsilyl triflate as Lewis acid. Good yields are achieved with primary alcohols and aliphatic or benzylic carbonitriles, but the straightforward synthesis of acrylates and benzoates starting with acrylonitrile and benzonitrile, respectively, is similarly possible. Phenols are not acylated under these reaction conditions. The method has been used for the first total synthesis of the natural product monaspilosin. In the reaction of benzyl alcohols variable amounts of amides are formed in a Ritter-type side reaction.

A hydrogen chloride-free pinner reaction promoted by lewis acids

A hydrogen chloride-free variation of the Pinner reaction was developed, in which alcohols react with carbonitriles to furnish carboxylates. Best results were achieved with aliphatic alcohols, and aliphatic or benzylic nitriles in the presence of 2 equiv. of trimethylsilyl triflate (Me3SiOTf). With these substrates, yields exceeding 80% were achieved. A strictly neutral variation of this protocol is possible, when 1 equiv. of Et3N is added to the reaction mixture. Copyright

Method of Fabricating Glycol Monoalkyl Ether Acetate Using Acidic Ionic Liquid Catalyst

A new method for fabricating glycol monoalkyl ether acetate (GMAEA) is provided. A Bronsted acidic ionic liquid is used. After some reactions, two layers of materials are formed. A product of GMAEA is obtained at the upper layer. The lower layer is the ionic liquid. Thus, the ionic liquid is reusable for re-fabricating the product. And, furthermore, waste acid is reduced.

Recovery of mercaptoalkanoic acids using alkylene glycol ethers

Various mercaptoalkanoic acids are recovered from an aqueous medium or water in which they are contained by a liquid-liquid solvent extraction operation employing at least one of an alkanoic acid ester and an alkylene glycol ether. In one embodiment, thioglycolic acid has been extracted with ethyl acetate. In another embodiment, it has been recovered with ethylene glycol monoethyl ether acetate. In a further embodiment, it has been recovered with diethylene glycol diethyl ether.
