Usage

General Description

Succinaldehyde bis(dimethyl acetal) is a chemical compound used as a flavoring agent and fragrance ingredient. It is formed by the reaction of succinaldehyde with dimethyl acetal, resulting in a colorless liquid with a fruity and floral odor. It is commonly used in the production of perfumes, as well as in the food and beverage industry as a flavor enhancer, particularly in fruit and citrus-flavored products. It is also used in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and as a solvent in various industrial processes. However, it is important to handle this chemical with caution, as it can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or comes into contact with the skin or eyes.

Effects of water and alcohols on the polymerization of furan during its acid-catalyzed conversion into benzofuran

Furan, an important product from catalytic pyrolysis of biomass, has the potential to be further converted into value-added chemicals or biofuels. This study investigated the conversion of furan into benzofuran over a Br?nsted acid catalyst (Amberlyst 70) at 140-190°C in various solvents. With water as the solvent, furan could barely make its way to benzofuran as its polymerization dominated. With methanol as the solvent, the polymerization of furan was suppressed and benzofuran formation was enhanced substantially. This is because in methanol, the reactive intermediates (i.e., aldehydes) were stabilized and their involvement in polymerization reactions was suppressed. Other alcohols showed similar effects on suppressing polymerization. In dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), the polymerization of furan was also effectively suppressed. However, furan was not converted to benzofuran but to levulinic acid via a distinct reaction route.

Anodic α-Methoxylation of Aliphatic Saturated Ethers

The anodic oxidation of aliphatic saturated ethers carried out in a mixed solvent of methanol and acetic acid gave α-methoxylated ethers in much better yields than those obtained by using only methanol as a solvent.
