The major producers of chemicals have been the Europe, Japan and China. Due to the growing call for a cleaner, greener environment, people will have to find innovative ways to maintain their relevance. Here is a compound 111-90-0, name is Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether. This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows. Safety of Diethylene Glycol Monoethyl Ether
EXAMPLE 14 10.7 g (0.08 mole) of ethyl carbitol was added dropwise to a mixture consisting of 1.5 g (0.04 mole) of sodium borohydride and 15 ml of xylene at 120 C. for 1.5 hours. The mixture was agitated at 120 C. for one hour. A mixture consisting of 3 g (0.02 mole) of N,N-dimethyl benzamide and 10 ml of xylene was added dropwise to the mixture over 0.5 hours. Subsequently, the resulting mixture was agitated at 120 C. for 20 hours. After cooling to room temperature, the mixture was neutralized with dilute sulfuric acid. As a result, N,N-dimethylbenzylamine was obtained in 51% yield and benzyl alcohol in 47% yield, respectively.
With the rapid development of chemical substances, we look forward to future research findings about 111-90-0.
