A method for the synthesis of the title compound [i.e., 2-methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenol, vanillin 1,2-propylene glycol acetal] is reported here. Vanillin 1,2-propylene glycol acetal was synthesized from vanillin [i.e., 4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde] and 1,2-propylene glycol using H3PMo12O40 as the catalyst. Factors influencing the product formation, such as molar ratio of reactants, time, catalyst type and amount, and different water entrainment agents, were studied and optimized reaction conditions were determined Reaction conditions were found as follows: molar ratio of aldehyde/glycol = 1.0/1.3, catalyst dosage of 0.3%, a cyclohexane amount of 15 mL, and a reaction time of 4.5 h. The selectivity was above 98% and the product yield was 94.58%. The product structure was determined by IR, GC, NMR. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 2-Methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenol (cas: 68527-74-2SDS of cas: 68527-74-2).
2-Methoxy-4-(4-methyl-1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenol (cas: 68527-74-2) belongs to dioxole derivatives. Dioxoles, particularly fluorinated dioxoles, are used as co-monomers to make polymers that find use in forming protective coatings for chemical resistance. 1,3-Benzodioxole can be synthesized from catechol with disubstituted halomethanes.SDS of cas: 68527-74-2
