Dimethyl oxalate can be converted into ethylene glycol in high yields (94.7%) [10] [11] The methanol formed is recycled in the process of oxidative carbonylation. [12] Other plants with a total annual capacity of more than 1 million tons of ethylene glycol per year are planned. Decarbonylation gives dimethyl carbonate. [13]
Oxalate (systematic IUPAC name: ethanedioate) is an anion with the chemical formula C 2 O 2− 4. This dianion is colorless. It occurs naturally, including in some foods. It forms a variety of salts, for example sodium oxalate (Na 2 C 2 O 4), and several esters such as dimethyl oxalate ((CH 3) 2 C 2 O 4). It is a conjugate base of oxalic acid.
Azathioprine is synthesized from 5-chloro-1-methyl-4-nitro-1H-imidazole and 6-mercaptopurine in dimethyl sulfoxide. [73] The synthesis of the former starts with an amide from methylamine and diethyl oxalate, which is then cyclized and chlorinated with phosphorus pentachloride; [74] the nitro group is introduced with nitric and sulfuric acid.
Transition metal oxalate complexes are coordination complexes with oxalate (C 2 O 4 2−) ligands. Some are useful commercially, but the topic has attracted regular scholarly scrutiny. Oxalate (C 2 O 4 2-) is a kind of dicarboxylate ligand. [1] As a small, symmetrical dinegative ion, oxalate commonly forms five-membered MO 2 C 2 chelate rings.
Oxalyl chloride reacts with water giving off gaseous products only: hydrogen chloride (HCl), carbon dioxide (CO 2), and carbon monoxide (CO). (COCl) 2 + H 2 O → 2 HCl + CO 2 + CO In this, it is quite different from other acyl chlorides which hydrolyze with formation of hydrogen chloride and the original carboxylic acid.
Diisopropylamine is a common amine nucleophile in organic synthesis. [4] Because it is bulky, it is a more selective nucleophile than other similar amines, such as dimethylamine. [5] It reacts with organolithium reagents to give lithium diisopropylamide (LDA). LDA is a strong, non-nucleophilic base [6]
In enzymology, an oxalate oxidase (EC 1.2.3.4) is an oxalate degrading enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: oxalate + O 2 + 2 H + ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 2 CO 2 + H 2 O 2 The 3 substrates of this enzyme are oxalate , O 2 , and H + , whereas its two products are CO 2 and H 2 O 2 .
Deuterated DMSO, also known as dimethyl sulfoxide-d 6, is an isotopologue of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO, (CH 3) 2 S=O)) with chemical formula ((CD 3) 2 S=O) in which the hydrogen atoms ("H") are replaced with their isotope deuterium ("D"). Deuterated DMSO is a common solvent used in NMR spectroscopy.
