Ma, Ming-you published the artcileSynthesis of 1-[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]-4-methoxybenzene under ultrasound conditions, Quality Control of 146370-51-6, the publication is Huaxue Shiji (2006), 28(8), 501-502, database is CAplus.
1-[(2-Ethylhexyl)oxy]-4-methoxybenzene (MOEHOB) was synthesized by the reaction of 4-methoxyphenol (MOPh) with 2-ethylhexyl bromide in argon atm. under supersonic irradiation in the solution of sodium ethoxide. Reaction yields reached 86-88%. The optimum reaction conditions: molar ratio of MOPh/ethylhexyl bromide was 1:1.5, the concentration of sodium ethoxide was 2.5 mol/L, the frequency of the ultrasound was 40 kHz, the reaction time was 5-6 h.
Huaxue Shiji published new progress about 146370-51-6. 146370-51-6 belongs to ethers-buliding-blocks, auxiliary class Benzene,Ether, name is 1-((2-Ethylhexyl)oxy)-4-methoxybenzene, and the molecular formula is C15H24O2, Quality Control of 146370-51-6.
