1,1,1-Trimethoxypentane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR COLORLESS LIQUID

Uses

Trimethyl orthovalerate is used in the synthesis of 1,2,4-triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidine derivatives as human adenosine A₃ receptor ligands. It can also be used as a precursor to prepare N-sulfonyl and N-sulfinyl imines and imidates.

Uses

Trimethyl orthovalerate has been used in the preparation of:

• various 9-O-acyl derivatives of N-acetyl- and N-glycoloyl-neuraminic acid
• 2-methyl, 2-ethyl, 2-propyl and 2-butyl-3-benzimidazolyl-4(3H)-quinazolinones

Synthesis Reference(s)

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 68, p. 1922, 1946 DOI: 10.1021/ja01214a015

General Description

Kinetics of unimolecular gas-phase elimination of trimethyl orthovalerate has been investigated.
