Product Details of 2235-01-0《Environmentally friendly organic synthesis using bismuth compounds: bismuth(III) iodide catalyzed deprotection of acetals in water》 was published in 2008. The authors were Bailey, Aaron D.;Baru, Ashvin R.;Tasche, Kendall K.;Mohan, Ram S., and the article was included in《Tetrahedron Letters》. The author mentioned the following in the article:
The chemoselective deprotection of a wide range of acetals and ketals in water is catalyzed by bismuth(III) iodide. Bismuth(III) compounds are remarkably nontoxic and hence are attractive as environmentally friendly catalysts. To complete the study, the researchers used Dimethoxydiphenylmethane (cas: 2235-01-0) .
The unique properties of ethers (i.e., that they are strongly polar, with nonbonding electron pairs but no hydroxyl group) enhance the formation and use of many reagents. For example, Grignard reagents cannot form unless an ether is present to share its lone pair of electrons with the magnesium atom.Product Details of 2235-01-0
