Chemical Properties
white to off-white crystalline powder
Uses
4,4?-Dimethoxybenzhydrol was used to study the kinetics and mechanism of oxidation of substituted benzhydrols to corresponding benzophenones in the presence of Hg(OAc)2 by N-bromosuccinimide. It is useful in the protection of glutamine and asparagine residues in peptide synthesis, reagent for the N-protection of amides.
