INSECTICIDAL COMPOSITION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a composition that can exhibit effective insecticidal action on insect pests. SOLUTION: An insecticidal composition comprises, e.g., a compound represented by general formula (1) in the figure. [R1 is a C1-10 alkyl group or the like, where the alkyl group and the like may be substituted with a halogen atom or the like; R2 is a hydrogen atom or the like, or R2 may bind a methoxy group binding a carbon atom adjacent to a carbon atom which R2 binds, to form a -O-CH2-O- group.] SELECTED DRAWING: None COPYRIGHT: (C)2021,JPO&INPIT

W-Ti-O mixed metal oxide catalyzed dehydrative cross-etherification of alcohols

A dehydrative cross-etherification reaction of two different alcohols is achieved in the presence of hydrothermally synthesized tungsten-titanium mixed metal oxide (W-Ti-O) catalyst. The reaction is environmentally benign: organic solvent is not necessary and the catalyst is readily recovered and reusable.

A synthetic method of the compound animal pen ether class

The invention relates to a synthetic method of a benzyl ether compound. The synthetic method is used for avoiding environmental pollution caused by conventional benzyl ether compound synthetic methods. The synthetic method comprises following steps: step 1, a benzyl silane compound, an oxidizing agent, and a light reaction catalyst are delivered into a reactor, the reactor is vacuumized, and is filled with nitrogen for protection, an alkali compound and an alcohol reagent are delivered into the reactor through syringes, the reactor is exposed to visible light, reaction is carried out at room temperature with magnetic stirring, after reaction, an obtained reaction solution is filtered, and a liquid obtained via filtration is subjected to condensation so as to remove solvents and obtain a concentrated solution; and step 2, the concentrated solution is subjected to silica-gel column chromatography for separation and purification so as to obtain the benzyl ether compound, wherein a mixed solution of petroleum ether and ethyl acetate is taken as an eluent. Reaction conditions are mild; operation is simple and convenient; reaction yield is high; and the maximum reaction yield can be 93%.

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.

Sulfated tungstate as hydroxyl group activator for preparation of benzyl, including p-methoxybenzyl ethers of alcohols and phenols

Sulfated tungstate was found to be an effective heterogeneous and reusable catalyst for hydroxy group activation–mediated preparation of benzylic ethers including p-methoxybenzylic ethers of a wide range of alcohols and phenols under mild reaction conditions.

Chemoselective formation of unsymmetrically substituted ethers from catalytic reductive coupling of aldehydes and ketones with alcohols in aqueous solution

A well-defined cationic Ru-H complex catalyzes reductive etherification of aldehydes and ketones with alcohols. The catalytic method employs environmentally benign water as the solvent and cheaply available molecular hydrogen as the reducing agent to afford unsymmetrical ethers in a highly chemoselective manner.

Proton-exchanged montmorillonite-mediated reactions of methoxybenzyl esters and ethers

Proton-exchanged montmorillonite (H-mont) was found to be an eco-friendly and cost-effective catalyst for the generation of O-methylated quinone methides (QM) from the corresponding p or o-methoxybenzyl esters and ethers. Nucleophilic trapping of the O-methylated QM with arenes, alcohols, 1,3-dicarbonyl compounds, silyl enol ethers, and allylsilanes has been carried out, respectively, leading to eco-friendly benzylation reactions. Using this protocol, H-mont-mediated deprotection of PMB-protected esters and ethers have been realized for the first time. This work would pave the way for further exploration in O-alkylated QM that are of chemical and biological significance.

A very practical and selective method for PMB protection of alcohols

A very simple, practical and efficient one-step heterogeneous protocol for the PMB protection of alcohols using Amberlyst-15 has been developed. The stability and hazard issues regarding PMBCl and PMBBr are totally avoided by directly using anisyl alcohol for the protection. Alcohols are protected in very good yields. The selective mono-PMB protection of diols as well as di-PMB protection of diols was achieved in good yields, along with the demonstration of recyclability of the catalyst.
