Usage

Type of compound

Dioxolane

Explanation

Dioxolane is a cyclic ether with two oxygen atoms and one carbon atom in the ring. It is a type of organic compound that contains an ether functional group.

Explanation

The 4-methylphenyl group is a substituent attached to the dioxolane ring. It consists of a phenyl group (a six-membered aromatic ring with alternating single and double bonds) with a methyl group (a single carbon atom with three hydrogen atoms) attached to the fourth carbon atom of the phenyl ring.

Explanation

The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number is a unique identifier assigned to a specific chemical compound. It helps in the identification and classification of chemicals.

Explanation

The 9CI name is a systematic nomenclature used in chemical databases to identify and classify chemical compounds. It is derived from the IUPAC nomenclature system.

Explanation

The compound has various industrial and research applications, including its use as a solvent (a substance that dissolves other substances), a reagent (a substance used to initiate a chemical reaction), and an intermediate (a compound that is produced during the synthesis of another compound).

Explanation

As with any chemical compound, it is essential to follow proper safety protocols to minimize risks to human health and the environment. This includes handling the compound with care, storing it in appropriate conditions, and disposing of it according to established guidelines.

Application of poly(Vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium tribromide) resin as an efficient polymeric catalyst in the acetalization and diacetylation of benzaldehydes

The applications of a new supported tribromide reagent (poly(vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium tribromide) resin) were reported. This supported tribromide resin was used as a catalyst in the acetalization and diacetylation of benzaldehydes under mild conditions with high efficiency. The effects of solvents, and amount of the supported tribromide resin on the reactions were investigated. Under the optimal conditions, most of acetal and 1,1-diacetates of benzaldehydes were selectively obtained in excellent yields.

Robust acidic pseudo-ionic liquid catalyst with self-separation ability for esterification and acetalization

The novel acidic pseudo-ionic liquid catalyst with self-separation ability has been synthesized through the quaternization of triphenylphosphine and the acidification with silicotungstic acid. The pseudo-IL showed high activities for the esterification with average conversions over 90%. The pseudo-IL showed even higher activities for acetalization than traditional sulfuric acid. The homogeneous catalytic process benefited the mass transfer efficiency. The pseudo-IL separated from the reaction mixture automatically after reactions, which was superior to other IL catalysts. The high catalytic activities, easy reusability and high stability were the key properties of the novel catalyst, which hold great potential for green chemical processes.

Visible-light-induced acetalization of aldehydes with alcohols

In this work, we have achieved a simple and general method for acetalization of aldehydes by means of a photochemical reaction under low-energy visible light irradiation. A broad range of aromatic, heteroaromatic, and aliphatic aldehydes have been protected under neutral conditions in good to excellent yields using a catalytic amount of Eosin Y as the photocatalyst. Our visible light mediated acetalization strategies are successful for more challenging acid-sensitive aldehydes and sterically hindered aldehydes. Notably, this protocol is chemoselective to aldehydes, while ketones remain intact.
