Heteropolyacids as catalysts for synthesis of methyl tert-butyl ether

The influence of the composition and structure of heteropolyacids (HPA) on their catalytic activity in the liquid phase synthesis of methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) at 42 °C has been studied. The activity of HPA is compared with that of other acid catalysts. The most active are HPA's of the Dawson structure, then come HPA's of the Keggin and Dexter-Silverton structures. HPA salts have low activity in the synthesis of MTBE.

First asymmetric synthesis of a differentially silyl-protected tris(alkynyl)methyl methyl ether

For an improved synthesis of the recently described expanded octamethoxycubane with a central C56 core, formally obtained by inserting buta-1,3-diynediyl moieties into all C(sp3)-C(sp3) bonds of octamethoxycubane, the preparation of the optically pure methyl ether of a differentially silyl-protected trispropargylic alcohol was required. The key step of the preparation involved a diastereoselective addition of a lithium acetylide to an optically active alkynyl ketone under Cram chelation control.     

The first enantioselective total synthesis of the anti-Helicobacter pylori agent (+)-spirolaxine methyl ether

The first enantioselective synthesis of the anti-Helicobacter pylori agent (+)-spirolaxine methyl ether has been carried out in a convergent fashion by heterocycle-activated Julia olefination of a spiroacetal-containing sulfone fragment with a phthalide-containing aldehyde fragment. The total synthesis of (+)-spirolaxine methyl ether establishes the absolute stereochemistry of the natural product to be (3R,2'R,5'R,7'R).     

The photooxidation of methyl tertiary butyl ether

Methyl tertiary butyl ether (MTBE) has been proposed and is being used as an additive to increase the octane of gasoline without the use of tetraethyl lead and alkylbenzenes. The present experiments have been performed to examine the kinetics and mechanisms of the atmospheric removal of MTBE. The kinetics of the reaction of OH with MTBE was examined by using a relative rate technique in which photolysis of methyl nitrite was used as the source of OH. With n-butane as the reference compound a value of (2.99 ± 0.12) × 10^?12 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1 at a temperature of 298 K was obtained for the rate constant. The products (and product yields) for the OH reaction with MTBE in the presence of NO_x were also determined and found to be t-butyl formate (0.68 ± 0.05), methyl acetate (0.14 ± 0.02), acetone (0.026 ± 0.003), t-butanol (0.062 ± 0.009), and formaldehyde (0.48 ± 0.05) in mols/mol MTBE converted. The OH rate constant for the major product formed, t-butyl formate was also measured and found to be (7.37 ± 0.05) × 10^?13 cm³ molecule^?1 s^?1. Mechanisms to rationalize the formation of the products are presented.

Eugenol and its methyl ether in the synthesis of 3-methyl derivatives of 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline

3-Methyl derivatives of 1-substituted 3,4-dihydroisoquinoline were obtained proceeding from eugenol and its methyl ether. The propylene oxide in a three-component reaction with veratrol and ethyl cycnoacetate provided the reaction products in a low yield. The isoeugenol in a linear synthesis also gives a low yield of the target compounds.     

The synthesis of methyl benzylpenillonate

Methyl phenylpenicillenate (10) was formed by the interaction of 4-carbomethoxy-5,5-dimethyl- 2-thiazoline (6) and 2-phenyloxazol-5-one in pyridine, whereas in neutral solvents the preponderant product of the reaction was methyl phenylpenillonate (7). Similarly, under the latter conditions, 2-benzyloxazol-5-one (5) and the thiazoline (6) yield methyl benzylpenillonate (4, R= Ph·CH₂, R=Me) identical with the product obtained from the methyl ester of benzylpenicillin.This contribution byA.

Di-isotacticity of poly(methyl propenyl ether) and double-bond opening of methyl propenyl ether in cationic polymerization

The di-isotacticity of poly(methylpropenyl ether) obtained by the cationic polymerization has been studied by NMR spectra. The NMR spectra of β-methyl protons of the polymer are decoupled from the β-methine proton spectra to determine the di-isotactic fraction in a polymer. The signals of β-methyl protons at 8.78 and 8.89 τ are estimated as spectra based on threo- and erythro-di-isotactic diads, respectively. With BF₃·O(C₂H₅)₂ as a catalyst, the trans monomer yields a crystalline polymer and its structure is threo-di-isotactic. Otherwise, cis monomer produces an amorphous polymer, and it is a mixture of threo- and erythro-di-isotactic structure. From these results, it is concluded that the double bond in trans monomer is opened exclusively in the cis type, and in cis monomer cis- and trans-openings take place at almost the same rate.
