2,4-Dimethoxybenzaldehyde (DMBA) is a reagent used to specifically quantify phlorotannins. This product reacts specifically with 1,3-and 1,3,5-substituted phenols (e.g., phlorotannins) to form a colored product. [1]
The reaction between menthone ((2S,5R)-2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone) and anisaldehyde (4-methoxybenzaldehyde) is complicated due to steric shielding of the ketone group. This obstacle is overcome by using a strong base such as potassium hydroxide and a very polar solvent such as DMSO in the reaction below: [19] A Claisen–Schmidt reaction
The Seyferth–Gilbert homologation is a chemical reaction of an aryl ketone 1 (or aldehyde) with dimethyl (diazomethyl)phosphonate 2 and potassium tert-butoxide to give substituted alkynes 3. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Dimethyl (diazomethyl)phosphonate 2 is often called the Seyferth–Gilbert reagent .
It is nearly analogous to the aldol reaction that had been discovered 23 years prior that couples two carbonyl compounds to form β-hydroxy carbonyl compounds known as "aldols" (aldehyde and alcohol). [2] [4] The Henry reaction is a useful technique in the area of organic chemistry due to the synthetic utility of its corresponding products, as ...
Although a synthesis of the compound had previously been described, [2] in the years after its emergence on the market, papers reporting analytical characterizations of the substance appeared. [3] It is offered online and is termed a psychedelic drug. Since 12 October 2016, βk-2C-B has become a controlled substance (Schedule III) in Canada. [4]
In an aldol condensation, water is subsequently eliminated and an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl is formed. The aldol cleavage or Retro-aldol reaction is the reverse reaction into the starting compounds. The name aldehyde-alcohol reaction derives from the reaction product in the case of a reaction among aldehydes, a β-hydroxy aldehyde.
The reaction mechanism of the Mitsunobu reaction is fairly complex. The identity of intermediates and the roles they play has been the subject of debate. Initially, the triphenyl phosphine (2) makes a nucleophilic attack upon diethyl azodicarboxylate (1) producing a betaine intermediate 3, which deprotonates the carboxylic acid (4) to form the ion pair 5.
For example, reaction between sterically hindered t-butyl acrylate and benzaldehyde with catalytic DABCO in the absence of solvent required 4 weeks to give moderate conversion to the final product. In aprotic solvents, the reaction rate is even slower, although recovery is possible with protic additives (e.g. alcohols and carboxylic acids). [15]
