4-Methylcatechol (4-methylbenzene-1,2-diol) Orcinol (5-methylbenzene-1,3-diol) Methoxyphenols — can be derived from benzenediols by O-methylation. Guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol, O-Methylcatechol) Mequinol (4-Methoxyphenol) Dimethoxybenzenes — can be derived from benzenediols by two rounds of O-methylation. Veratrole (1,2-Dimethoxybenzene) 1,3 ...
When cyclopentadiene is used as the diene, the vicinal norbornene diol bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-diol is formed after hydrolysis. The Swern oxidation to the 1,2-ketone bicyclo[2.2.1]hept-5-ene-2,3-dione proceeds (in the variant with trifluoroacetic anhydride instead of oxalyl chloride) with a yield of 73%. [14]
Neopentyl glycol (IUPAC name: 2,2-dimethylpropane-1,3-diol) is an organic chemical compound. It is used in the synthesis of polyesters , paints , lubricants , and plasticizers . When used in the manufacture of polyesters, it enhances the stability of the product towards heat, light, and water.
Examples include ethane-1,2-diol or ethylene glycol HO−(CH 2) 2 −OH, a common ingredient of antifreeze products. Another example is propane-1,2-diol , or alpha propylene glycol, HO−CH 2 −CH(OH)−CH 3 , used in the food and medicine industry, as well as a relatively non-poisonous antifreeze product.
Orcinol (5-methylbenzene-1,3-diol or 3,5-dihydroxytoluene) 2-methylbenzene-1,4-diol; See also. Cresol (methylphenol, hydroxytoluene) Trihydroxytoluene
1,2-Butanediol is a byproduct of the production of 1,4-butanediol from butadiene. [8] It is also a byproduct of the catalytic hydrocracking of starches and sugars such as sorbitol to ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. [9] It can also be obtained from the dihydroxylation of but-1-ene by OsO 4.
Boiling point 112 to 114.7 °C (233.6 to 238.5 °F; 385.1 to 387.8 K) Except where otherwise noted, data are given for materials in their standard state (at 25 °C [77 °F], 100 kPa).
2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol (MPD) is an organic compound with the formula (CH 3) 2 C(OH)CH 2 CH(OH)CH 3. This colourless liquid is a chiral diol. It is produced industrially from diacetone alcohol by hydrogenation. [4] Total European and USA production was 15000 tonnes in 2000. [5] 2-Methyl-2,4-pentanediol exists as two enantiomers, (4R)-(−) and ...
