説明

1,3-Dimethoxybenzene, also known as dimethyl resorcinol or 3-methoxyanisole, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dimethoxybenzenes. These organic aromatic compounds contain a monocyclic benzene moiety carrying two methoxy groups. 1,3-Dimethoxybenzene has been used in the synthesis of novel oxathiane spiroketal donors. It forms pi- and O-ylidic complexes with dichlorocarbene (CCl(2)).

化学的特性

m-Dimethoxybenzene has a very powerful sweet-earthy, intensely, nut-like aroma.

天然物の起源

Reported found in Gruyere de Comte, blue cheeses, filberts and cognac

使用

1,3-Dimethoxybenzene is used for the preparation of oxathiane spiroketal donors. It is also used for the formation of pi- and O-ylidic complexes with dichlorocarbene. Further, it acts as a flavoring agent.

製造方法

From resorcinol by methylation using dimethyl sulfate and alka

一般的な説明

1,3-Dimethoxybenzene can be used as a flavoring agent in the food industry. It is reported to be found in the volatiles of port wine and Roquefort cheese.

純化方法

Extract it with aqueous NaOH, and water, then dry it. Fractionally distil it from BaO or Na. [Beilstein 6 IV 5663.]
