Zhang, Liang; Liu, Shuhua; Lin, Yunliang; Wang, Yuliang published an article in 2022. The article was titled 《Hydroxymethylation of active methenyl compounds: DMSO as methylene source and H2O as oxygen source》, and you may find the article in Tetrahedron Letters.Recommanded Product: 609-14-3 The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A mild and efficient method for hydroxymethylation of active methenyl compounds was described. In this transformation, the widely available solvents DMSO and water served as methylene and oxygen sources, resp. Under promotion of activator and base, the reaction could be used for the construction of a series of α-hydroxymethylated carbonyl compounds R1COC(CH2OH)R2R3 [R1 = Me, Ph, Bn, 2-furyl, 2-thienyl; R2 = CN, MeCO, MeO2C, EtO2C, t-BuO2C, PhNHCO; R3 = Me, Et, Bn, etc.; R1R3 = (CH2)3, H2COCH2, (CH2)4, etc.] with all-carbon quaternary carbon center in good to excellent yield. After reading the article, we found that the author used Ethyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate(cas: 609-14-3Recommanded Product: 609-14-3)
Ethyl 2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate(cas: 609-14-3) belongs to ketone compounds. Ketones are highly reactive, although less so than aldehydes, to which they are closely related. Much of their chemical activity results from the nature of the carbonyl group. Ketones readily undergo a wide variety of chemical reactions.Recommanded Product: 609-14-3
