In nature, methoxy groups are found on nucleosides that have been subjected to 2′-O-methylation, for example in variations of the 5′-cap structure known as cap-1 and cap-2. They are also common substituents in O -methylated flavonoids , whose formation is catalyzed by O-methyltransferases that act on phenols , such as catechol- O -methyl ...
Cyclooctadiene iridium methoxide dimer is an organoiridium compound with the formula Ir 2 (OCH 3) 2 (C 8 H 12) 2, where C 8 H 12 is the diene 1,5-cyclooctadiene. It is a yellow solid that is soluble in organic solvents. The complex is used as a precursor to other iridium complexes, some of which are used in homogeneous catalysis. [1]
[Ni(H 2 O) 6](BF 4) 2 + 6 HC(OC 2 H 5) 3 → [Ni(C 2 H 5 OH) 6](BF 4) 2 + 6 HC(O)(OC 2 H 5) + 6 HOC 2 H 5. Triethyl orthoformate (TEOF) is an excellent reagent for converting compatible carboxylic acids to ethyl esters. Such carboxylic acids, refluxed neat in excess TEOF until low-boilers cease evolution, are quantitatively converted to the ...
P(OCH 3) 3 → CH 3 P(O)(OCH 3) 2. As a ligand, trimethyl phosphite has a smaller cone angle and better acceptor properties relative to trimethylphosphine. A representative derivative is the colorless tetrahedral complex Ni(P(OMe) 3) 4 (m.p. 108 °C). [4] The tridentate ligand called the Kläui ligand is derived from trimethyl phosphite. The ...
O-methylated flavonoids formation implies the presence of specific O-methyltransferase (OMT) enzymes which accept a variety of substrates. [1] Those enzymes mediate the O-methylation on a specific hydroxyl group, like on 4' (example in Catharanthus roseus [2]) or 3' (example in rice [3]) positions.
CH 3 SiCl 3 + 3 CH 3 OH → CH 3 Si(OCH 3) 3 + 3 HCl. Alcoholysis of alkylchlorosilanes typically proceeds via an S N 2 mechanism. Inversion of the configuration is favored during nucleophilic attack when displacing good leaving groups, such as chloride. [3] In contrast, displacement of poor leaving groups, such as alkoxide, retention is ...
Trimethyl orthoformate is also an effective reagent for converting compatible carboxylic acids to their corresponding methyl esters. [5] Alternatively, acid-catalyzed esterifications with methanol can be driven closer to completion by employing trimethyl orthoformate to convert water byproduct to methanol and methyl formate .
Trimethyl borate is the organoboron compound with the formula B(OCH 3) 3 and a metal alkoxide. It is a colourless liquid that burns with a green flame. [1] It is an intermediate in the preparation of sodium borohydride and is a popular reagent in organic chemistry. It is a weak Lewis acid (AN = 23, Gutmann-Beckett method). [2]
