FormLiquid
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.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Applications
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.

Solubility
Miscible with toluene.

Notes
Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents.

General References:

  1. Is readily metallated at the 2-position by n-BuLi, giving a lithio-derivative which is doubly-stabilized by oxygen coordination. For reviews, see: Org. React., 8, 258 (1954); 26, 1 (1979). The 2-lithio-derivative undergoes silylation, and the resulting silyl derivative reacts with electrophiles to give various 2-substituted products. For examples, see: Tetrahedron, 49, 10843 (1993):
  2. Although direct dilithiation with n-BuLi/TMEDA was unsuccessful, a sequence involving monolithiation, silylation and further lithiation at the 4-position gave the 2,4-disilyl derivative in 47% yield: J. Org. Chem., 49, 4657 (1984). For a review of the use of organosilicon intermediates in unusual electrophilic substitutions, see: Synlett, 171 (1993).
