=============================================================================
purpose
Dimethyl ether is an important organic synthesis intermediate, mainly used in:
Pharmaceutical industry: used for synthesizing drugs such as berberine and verapamil.
Analytical reagents: used for detecting lactate in blood and measuring glycerol.
Spices and preservatives: intermediates used as spice ingredients or food additives.
Industrial production: used for manufacturing dyes, plastics, synthetic resins, etc.
=============================================================================
synthetic route
Dimethyl ether is mainly synthesized through the methylation reaction of catechol (or guaiacol), and common methods include:
Traditional methylation method: Reacting catechol with dimethyl sulfate or iodomethane under alkaline conditions.
Green synthesis method:
Using dimethyl carbonate as a methylation reagent, O-methylation is carried out under mild reaction conditions and with few by-products in the presence of catalysts such as ionic liquids or N-heterocyclic carbenes.
Using palladium/carbon catalytic system and magnesium and methanol as reduction systems, deoxymethylation of catechol derivatives is achieved.
Other methods include using efficient pathways such as dimethyl sulfide/dimethyl carbonate mixed systems and microwave-assisted synthesis
