2,5,8,11-Tetraoxadodecane (cas: 112-49-2) belongs to ethers. Ether is less polar than esters, alcohols or amines because of the oxygen atom that is unable to participate in hydrogen bonding due to the presence of bulky alkyl groups on both sides of the oxygen atom. Ethers feature bent C–O–C linkages. In dimethyl ether, the bond angle is 111° and C–O distances are 141 pm. The barrier to rotation about the C–O bonds is low. The bonding of oxygen in ethers, alcohols, and water is similar. In the language of valence bond theory, the hybridization at oxygen is sp3.Reference of 112-49-2

Effects of zwitterionic molecules on ionic association in ethylene oxide-based electrolytes was written by Nguyen, Manh Tien;Shao, Qing. And the article was included in Fluid Phase Equilibria in 2020.Reference of 112-49-2 This article mentions the following:

This work investigates the effect of zwitterionic mols. on ionic association in ethylene oxide (EO)-based electrolytes using mol. dynamics simulations. Zwitterionic mols. can associate with cations and anions because they possess both pos. and neg. charged groups. This unique feature can be leveraged to develop electrolytes with high ionic conductivity if we understand how zwitterionic mols. influence ionic associations We investigate the ionic associations in the electrolytes composed of oligo(ethylene oxide) (EO) (EO_x, x = 2, 3, 4, and 5), LiTFSI and zwitterionic mols. containing cationic imidazole group and anionic sulfonate group using mol. dynamics simulations. The analyzed properties include the radial distribution functions between Li⁺, [TFSI]^–, EO_x and zwitterionic mols., the structures and dynamics of Li⁺-[TFSI]^–, Li⁺– EO_x and Li⁺-zwitterion associations, and the diffusion coefficients of Li⁺, [TFSI]^–, EO_x and zwitterionic mols. The simulation results show two distinct effects of zwitterionic mols. on ionic associations in the electrolytes. First, they could release Li⁺ from the trapping effect of EO_x chains and accelerate Li⁺ transport. Second, they can associate with Li⁺ themselves and slow down the Li⁺ transport. The competition between these two effects relates to the length of the EO_x chains. Our simulations suggest that zwitterionic mols. could help manipulate the ionic conductivity of polyethylene oxide electrolytes. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,5,8,11-Tetraoxadodecane (cas: 112-49-2Reference of 112-49-2).

2,3-Dimethoxy-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (cas: 605-94-7) belongs to ethers. Of all the functional groups, ethers are the least reactive ones. Ether bonds are quite stable towards bases, oxidizing agents and reducing agents. But on the other hand, ethers undergo cleavage by reaction with acids. At room temperature, ethers are pleasant-smelling colourless liquids. Relative to alcohols, ethers are generally less dense, are less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points. They are relatively unreactive, and as a result they are useful as solvents for fats, oils, waxes, perfumes, resins, dyes, gums, and hydrocarbons. Vapours of certain ethers are used as insecticides, miticides, and fumigants for soil.Related Products of 605-94-7

Coenzyme Q₀ Enhances Ultraviolet B-Induced Apoptosis in Human Estrogen Receptor-Positive Breast (MCF-7) Cancer Cells was written by Wang, Hui-Min;Yang, Hsin-Ling;Thiyagarajan, Varadharajan;Huang, Tzu-Hsiang;Huang, Pei-Jane;Chen, Ssu-Ching;Liu, Jer-Yuh;Hsu, Li-Sung;Chang, Hsueh-Wei;Hseu, You-Cheng.

Coenzyme Q₀ (CoQ₀; 2,3-dimethoxy-5-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone), a major active constituent of Antrodia camphorata, has been shown to inhibit human triple-neg. breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) cells through induction of apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest. Ecol. studies have suggested a possible association between UV B (UVB) radiation and reduction in the risk of breast cancer. However, the underlying mechanism of the combination of CoQ₀ and UVB in human estrogen receptor-pos. breast cancer (MCF-7) remains unclear. In this study, the possible effect of CoQ₀ on inducing apoptosis in MCF-7 cells under exposure to low-dose UVB (0.05 J/cm²) has been investigated. CoQ₀ treatment (0-35μM, for 24-72 h) inhibits moderately the growth of breast cancer MCF-7 cells, and the cell viability was significantly decreased when the cells were pretreated with UVB irradiation It was noted that there was a remarkable accumulation of subploid cells, the so-called sub-G1 peak, in CoQ₀-treated cells by using flow cytometric anal., which suggests that the viability reduction observed after treatment may result from apoptosis induction in MCF-7 cells. CoQ₀ caused an elevation of reactive oxygen species, as indicated by dichlorofluorescein fluorescence, and UVB pretreatment significantly increased CoQ₀-induced reactive oxygen species generation in MCF-7 cells. In addition, cells were exposed to CoQ₀, and the induction of DNA damage was evaluated by single-cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay). CoQ₀-induced DNA damage was remarkably enhanced by UVB pretreatment. Furthermore, CoQ₀ induced apoptosis in MCF-7 cells, which was associated with PARP degradation, Bcl-2/Bax dysregulation, and p53 expression as shown by western blot. Collectively, these findings suggest that CoQ₀ might be an important supplemental agent for treating patients with breast cancer. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2,3-Dimethoxy-5-methylcyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-dione (cas: 605-94-7Related Products of 605-94-7).

Peng, Jun et al. published their research in Xiandai Tuliao Yu Tuzhuang in 2021 | CAS: 111-77-3

2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethanol (cas: 111-77-3) belongs to ethers. The oxygen atom in ethers are more electronegative than carbon, thus the hydrogens which are alpha to the ethers are more acidic than the simple hydrocarbons. Ethers can form hydrogen bonds with other molecules (alcohols, amines, etc.) that have O―H or N―H bonds. The ability to form hydrogen bonds with other compounds makes ethers particularly good solvents for a wide variety of organic compounds and a surprisingly large number of inorganic compounds.Quality Control of 2-(2-Methoxyethoxy)ethanol

(4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol (cas: 105-13-5) belongs to ethers. Relative to alcohols, ethers are generally less dense, are less soluble in water, and have lower boiling points. They are relatively unreactive. 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. Complexation of the magnesium atom stabilizes the Grignard reagent and helps to keep it in solution.Safety of (4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol

Bimetallic CoMoO₄@C nanorod catalyzes one-pot synthesis of benzimidazoles from benzyl alcohol and o-phenylendiamine without alkali was written by Xiong, Yucong;Wang, Kaizhi;Ma, Lei;Zhu, Jiukang;Miao, Yujia;Gong, Li;Mu, Xiao;Wan, Jiang;Li, Rong. And the article was included in Applied Organometallic Chemistry in 2022.Safety of (4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol This article mentions the following:

Benzimidazoles possess a series of applications for industrial chem. and biomedicine. However, the complicated synthetic steps and harsh reaction conditions limit its further development. Herein, authors reported an efficient, environmentally friendly, and stable bimetallic CoMoO4@C catalyst, which used low-cost cobalt and molybdenum as the basic raw material. In base-free conditions, it has been proved that the yield could achieve to 99.9% for the synthesis of benzimidazoles with liberating water as the sole byproduct, and the catalyst remains stable and efficient even after five successive cycle tests. Addnl., experiments and characterizations confirm the good oxidation activity of the catalyst benefits from the numerous oxygen vacancies provided by the high concentration of low-valent cobalt (Co²⁺) and the doping of carbon improves the intermol. transport of electrons. Furthermore, this strategy could potentially be applied in the industrial production of benzimidazoles. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, (4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol (cas: 105-13-5Safety of (4-Methoxyphenyl)methanol).

Toxigenic and atoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus were grown on potato dextrose agar (PDA) and wetted (23% moisture) sterile, cracked corn for 14 and 21 days, resp. Volatile compounds produced by A. flavus, as well as those present in the PDA controls and sterile cracked maize, were collected using solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) and identified by gas chromatog./mass spectrometry. Results show that growth substrate had a major impact on the number and type of volatiles detected. Growth on sterile cracked maize produced many more volatiles than did potato dextrose agar. There were also differences observed in the type of volatiles produced between toxigenic and non-toxigenic isolates, as well as between isolates of the same toxigenic grouping.

Structure-property relationship of light-responsive wormlike micelles using methoxycinnamate derivatives as light-switchable molecules was written by Liu, Tongqing;Xue, Fangfang;Yi, Ping;Xia, Zhiyu;Dong, Jinfeng;Li, Xuefeng. And the article was included in Wuli Huaxue Xuebao in 2020.Product Details of 6972-61-8 This article mentions the following:

In this work, light-responsive viscoelastic wormlike micelles based on cetyltrimethylammonium hydroxide (CTAOH) and cinnamic acid derivatives, including cinnamic acid (CA), 2-methoxycinnamic acid (2-MCA), 3-methoxycinnamic acid (3-MCA), 4-methoxycinnamic acid (4-MCA), 2,3-dimethoxycinnamic acid (2,3-DMCA), 2,4-dimethoxycinnamic acid (2,4-DMCA), 2,3,4-trimethoxycinnamic acid (2,3,4-DMCA), and 3,4,5-trimethoxycinnamic acid (3,4,5-DMCA), were prepared The effects of the CA derivative structures, especially the position and number of methoxy moieties, on the formation of wormlike micelles were systematically determined The CA derivatives facilitated the formation of long and entangled wormlike micelles. ¹H NMR results showed that the CA derivatives participated in the formation of wormlike micelles via insertion of the aromatic moieties into the aggregates. The number of methoxy moieties had a much stronger effect on the viscosity of the wormlike micelle solution than the position of this moiety. The larger the number of methoxy moiety, the smaller was the aggregate. Substituted methoxy moieties increased the steric hindrance between the surfactants and CA mols., thus hindering the formation of large aggregates. However, the position of the methoxy moiety had a predominant effect on the UV-light-induced transition of the wormlike micelles. Specifically, the ortho-methoxy moiety in the CA mols. dramatically enhanced the efficiency of UV-light-induced trans-cis isomerization. For example, the 2-MCA/CTAOH, 3-MCA/CTAOH, and 4-MCA/CTAOH binary systems (90 mmol·L^-1/100 mmol·L^-1) were gel-like with similar viscosities of around 20 Pa·s, but after UV light irradiation, they were transformed into a fluid with lower viscosity because of the formation of smaller aggregates. However, the irradiation time required for the transition varied significantly, as suggested by the results of viscosity measurements and UV-Vis spectroscopy. The 2-MCA/CTAOH system underwent complete phase transition within 3 h, whereas continuous transitions were observed for the 3-MCA/CTAOH and 4-MCA/CTAOH systems upon irradiation for 24 h. ¹H NMR results suggested that the change in the configuration of MCA in the micelles before and after irradiation was the major cause of the abovementioned difference in the phase transition pattern. Initially, all the aromatic moieties of the trans-2-MCA mols. were deeply inserted into the hydrophobic cores of the micelles in a vertical manner, and the ionized carboxyl moiety was located in the palisade layer because of the electrostatic interactions between CTAOH and trans-2-MCA. In contrast, cis-2-MCA was inserted into the micelles in a horizontal manner, and some of the protons in the aromatic moiety were also transferred from the micellar core to the polar palisade layer. Accordingly, the CTAOH and cis-2-MCA mols. were packed loosely in the aggregates, thereby resulting in the formation of spherical micelles. Similar UV-light-induced transitions were observed for the 3-MCA/CTAOH and 4-MCA/CTAOH systems. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 3-(2,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acrylic acid (cas: 6972-61-8Product Details of 6972-61-8).

And the article was included in Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics in 2021.Product Details of 112-49-2 This article mentions the following:

Lithium-sulfur batteries (LSBs) have received intensive attention in recent years due to their high theor. energy d. derived from the lithiation of sulfur. In the discharge process, sulfur transforms into lithium polysulfides (LiPSs) that dissolve in liquid electrolytes and then into insoluble Li₂S precipitated on the electrode surface. The electronically and ionically insulating Li₂S leads to two critical issues, including the sluggish reaction kinetics from LiPSs to Li₂S and the passivation of the electrode. In this regard, controlling the Li₂S deposition is significant for improving the performance of LSBs. In this perspective, we have summarized the recent achievements in regulating the Li2S deposition to enhance the performance of LSBs, including the solution-mediated growth of Li2S, sulfur host enhanced nucleation and catalysis induced kinetic improvement. Moreover, the challenges and possibilities for future research studies are discussed, highlighting the significance of regulating the Li₂S deposition to realize the high electrochem. performance and promote the practical uses of LSBs.

3-(3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)propan-1-ol (cas: 3929-47-3) belongs to ethers. Ethers are good solvents partly because they are not very reactive. Most ethers can be cleaved, however, by hydrobromic acid (HBr) to give alkyl bromides or by hydroiodic acid (HI) to give alkyl iodides. Autoxidation is the spontaneous oxidation of a compound in air. In the presence of oxygen, ethers slowly autoxidize to form hydroperoxides and dialkyl peroxides. If concentrated or heated, these peroxides may explode. To prevent such explosions, ethers should be obtained in small quantities, kept in tightly sealed containers, and used promptly.Reference of 3929-47-3
