Electric Literature of 89-95-2, 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 89-95-2, name is 2-Methylbenzyl alcohol. This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.
General procedure: The substrate (alcohol, phenol or amine; 1.0 mmol) was treated with Ac2O (2.0 mmol) in the presence of P(4-VPH)ClO4 (50 mg) at room temperature under solvent-free conditions and magnetic stirring. After completion of the reaction as indicated by TLC, the mixture was diluted with Et2O (25 ml) and the catalyst allowed to settle down. The supernatant ethereal solution was decanted off, the catalyst washed with Et2O (2 ml) and the combined ethereal solution concentrated under vacuum to afford the product, identical(mp, IR, 1H and 13C NMR, and GC-MS) to an authentic sample of acetylated product. The recovered catalyst was dried at 50 C under vacuum for 2 h. The recovered catalyst, after drying, was reused for four more consecutive acetylation reactions of benzyl alcohol (1.0 mmol) affording 96, 96, 94, and 94% yields, respectively, in 22, 23, 23, and 25 min (Scheme 2).
According to the analysis of related databases, 89-95-2, the application of this compound in the production field has become more and more popular.
