Usage

General Description

(1-butoxyethyl)benzene, also known as butyl phenyl ether, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of alkyl aryl ethers. It is commonly used as a solvent and a fragrance ingredient in various consumer products, such as cleaning products, soaps, and personal care items. The chemical is also used in the production of adhesives and coatings. However, it is important to handle (1-butoxyethyl)benzene with caution, as it may have potential health hazards, including skin and eye irritation, and it is considered a potential respiratory sensitiser. Therefore, it is essential to follow safety guidelines when working with this chemical to minimize the risk of exposure.

Molybdenum (VI)-catalyzed dehydrative construction of C[sbnd]O and C[sbnd]S bonds formation via etherification and thioetherification of alcohols and thiols

An inexpensive, easily available, environmentally benign, and efficient catalyst molybdenum(VI) dioxo (acetylacetonate)2 was used for the direct oxo- and thioetherification of alcohol. This method endures selective molybdenum catalyzed dehydrative synthesis of symmetrical ethers from benzylic secondary alcohols as well as unsymmetrical ethers from the reaction of benzylic secondary alcohols with primary alcohol. Furthermore, we have been also successful in the synthesis of Aryl thioether by using alcohol and thiols.

Direct and efficient synthesis of unsymmetrical ethers from alcohols catalyzed by Fe(HSO4)3 under solvent-free conditions

Highly efficient Fe(HSO4)3 catalyzed etherification of primary, secondary and tertiary benzylic alcohols with primary and secondary aliphatic alcohols is reported. The reaction affords unsymmetrical benzyl ethers in good to excellent yields under solvent-free conditions.

Novel gallium and indium salts of the 12-tungstophosphoric acid: Synthesis, characterization and catalytic properties

The objective of this study was the preparation, characterization and testing of the catalytic properties of the GaPW12O40 and InPW12O40 salts of 12-tungstophosphoric heteropolyacid (HPW). The samples were characterized by XRD, IR, SEM, and 31P and 1H MAS NMR spectroscopy. The acid properties of the solids were directly accounted for by applying 1H MAS NMR. The salts were screened in the etherification of 1-phenylethanol with C1-C 4 alkanols in dichloromethane as a solvent to yield the corresponding C6H5CH(OR)CH3 unsymmetrical ethers. In comparison with pure HPW, the new salts revealed generally a higher selectivity of ethers formation at 65 °C.
