(+)-CHLOROMETHYL MENTHYL ETHER Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

clear colorless liquid

Uses

(+)-Chloromethyl menthyl ether can be used:

• As a starting material for the synthesis of 1-methyl-3-(+)-methylmenthoxide imidazolium chloride, a key intermediate for the preparation of Ag(I) N-heterocyclic carbene, applicable as a catalyst in the diboration of alkenes.
• As a substrate in the synthesis of commercially important O-substituted α-methoxymethylketones.
• To determine enantiomeric excess (ee) of an iron chiral auxiliary named [Fe(CO)(η;⁵- C₂H₅)(PPh₃)COCH₃].
