578-58-5 Usage

Description

2-Methylanisole, also known as o-cresol methyl ether, is a monomethoxybenzene that is derived from o-cresol, where the phenolic hydroxy group has been converted to the corresponding methyl ether. It is a clear colorless to light yellow liquid, soluble in alcohol and ether, but insoluble in water. 2-Methylanisole is found in mastic oils, virgin olive oils, and frankincense, and it possesses a pungent, warm, floral odor with earthy, walnut undertones and a sweet, fruity, nut-like flavor at low levels.

Uses

Used in Chemical Synthesis:
2-Methylanisole is used as an intermediate in the chemical synthesis of various compounds, particularly those with a methylhydroquinone core. It plays a crucial role in the total synthesis of complex organic molecules, such as (±)-heliannuol D, its epimer, and the phenolic sesquiterpene mutisianthol.
Used in Flavor and Fragrance Industry:
2-Methylanisole is used as a flavoring agent due to its sweet, fruity, nut-like flavor at low levels. It is also used in the fragrance industry for its naphthyl, camphoreous, phenolic, and woody aroma with a salicylate nuance.
Used in Solvent Applications:
2-Methylanisole serves as a polar aprotic solvent in various chemical reactions and processes, making it a valuable component in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
Used in the Food Industry:
As a 'green' solvent with a boiling point of 171°C, 2-Methylanisole is utilized in the food industry as a flavor ingredient, adding unique taste characteristics to various products.
Occurrence:
2-Methylanisole is naturally found in starfruit, mastic gum oil, and rooibus tea (Aspalathus linearis), contributing to their distinct flavors and aromas.

Preparation

2-Methylanisole is synthesized by methylation of o-cresol using dimethylsulfate in caustic soda at 40°C.synthesis of 2-methylanisole: Make sodium hydroxide into a 20% solution, stir and mix with o-cresol, cool to below 10°C, and slowly add dimethyl sulfate dropwise. After the addition was completed, the temperature was raised to 40 °C for 20 min, and then reacted with 100 °C for 12 h. Then the reactant was washed with water until neutral, water was removed, distilled, and the fraction at 171°C was collected to obtain the finished product of 2-methylanisole.

Flammability and Explosibility

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 578-58-5 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 5,7 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 5 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 578-58:
(5*5)+(4*7)+(3*8)+(2*5)+(1*8)=95
95 % 10 = 5
So 578-58-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Solvolysis of o-methylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate in acidic methanol-water mixtures. Further evidence for nucleophilic attack on a solvent separated aryl cation

Pazo-Llorente,Sarabia-Rodriguez,Gonzalez-Romero,Bravo-Diaz

, p. 531 - 538 (1999)

Rate constants for dediazoniation product formation and arenediazonium ion loss and product yields of solvolysis of o-methylbenzenediazonium tetrafluoroborate in acidic methanol-water mixtures at T = 35 °C are reported. Observed rate constants for diazonium ion loss and product formation are the same, increasing about 45% ongoing from water to methanol, and are not affected by added electrolytes like HCl, NaCl, and CuCl2. Only three dediazoniation products are detected, o-cresol, o-chlorotoluene, and o-anisole. All data are consistent with a rate-determining step formation of an aryl cation that reacts immediately with available nucleophiles. The selectivity of the reaction toward nucleophiles, S, which can be is low and essentially constant upon changing solvent composition, suggesting that the nucleophilic attack takes place on a solvent separated aryl cation.

Impact of oxygen vacancies in Ni supported mixed oxide catalysts on anisole hydrodeoxygenation

Ali, Hadi,Kansal, Sushil Kumar,Lauwaert, Jeroen,Saravanamurugan, Shunmugavel,Thybaut, Joris W.,Vandevyvere, Tom

, (2022/03/02)

The hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) activity of anisole has been investigated over Ni catalysts on mixed metal oxide supports containing Nb–Zr and Ti–Zr in 1:1 and 1:4 ratios. XRD patterns indicate the incorporation of Ti (or Nb) into the ZrO2 framewo

Catalytic SNAr Hydroxylation and Alkoxylation of Aryl Fluorides

Kang, Qi-Kai,Li, Ke,Li, Yuntong,Lin, Yunzhi,Shi, Hang,Xu, Lun

supporting information, p. 20391 - 20399 (2021/08/13)

Nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) is a powerful strategy for incorporating a heteroatom into an aromatic ring by displacement of a leaving group with a nucleophile, but this method is limited to electron-deficient arenes. We have now established a reliable method for accessing phenols and phenyl alkyl ethers via catalytic SNAr reactions. The method is applicable to a broad array of electron-rich and neutral aryl fluorides, which are inert under classical SNAr conditions. Although the mechanism of SNAr reactions involving metal arene complexes is hypothesized to involve a stepwise pathway (addition followed by elimination), experimental data that support this hypothesis is still under exploration. Mechanistic studies and DFT calculations suggest either a stepwise or stepwise-like energy profile. Notably, we isolated a rhodium η5-cyclohexadienyl complex intermediate with an sp3-hybridized carbon bearing both a nucleophile and a leaving group.

Trialkylammonium salt degradation: Implications for methylation and cross-coupling

Assante, Michele,Baillie, Sharon E.,Juba, Vanessa,Leach, Andrew G.,McKinney, David,Reid, Marc,Washington, Jack B.,Yan, Chunhui

, p. 6949 - 6963 (2021/06/02)

Trialkylammonium (most notably N,N,N-trimethylanilinium) salts are known to display dual reactivity through both the aryl group and the N-methyl groups. These salts have thus been widely applied in cross-coupling, aryl etherification, fluorine radiolabelling, phase-transfer catalysis, supramolecular recognition, polymer design, and (more recently) methylation. However, their application as electrophilic methylating reagents remains somewhat underexplored, and an understanding of their arylation versus methylation reactivities is lacking. This study presents a mechanistic degradation analysis of N,N,N-trimethylanilinium salts and highlights the implications for synthetic applications of this important class of salts. Kinetic degradation studies, in both solid and solution phases, have delivered insights into the physical and chemical parameters affecting anilinium salt stability. 1H NMR kinetic analysis of salt degradation has evidenced thermal degradation to methyl iodide and the parent aniline, consistent with a closed-shell SN2-centred degradative pathway, and methyl iodide being the key reactive species in applied methylation procedures. Furthermore, the effect of halide and non-nucleophilic counterions on salt degradation has been investigated, along with deuterium isotope and solvent effects. New mechanistic insights have enabled the investigation of the use of trimethylanilinium salts in O-methylation and in improved cross-coupling strategies. Finally, detailed computational studies have helped highlight limitations in the current state-of-the-art of solvation modelling of reaction in which the bulk medium undergoes experimentally observable changes over the reaction timecourse.
