Application of 33100-27-5. Chemistry is an experimental science, and the best way to enjoy it and learn about it is performing experiments.Introducing a new discovery about 33100-27-5, Name is 1,4,7,10,13-Pentaoxacyclopentadecane
Our recently reported novel green chemistry tool was effectively used for opening cyclic ethers to produce alpha-iodo- and bromoalkanols. The synthesis of 4-iodobutanoic acid from gamma-butyrolactone has also been described. The method is based on the use of a dried Dowex H+/NaX (X = Br, I)-system, which is effective at producing alpha-iodoalkanols and some alpha-bromoalkanols from commercially available cyclic ethers. Additionally, opening of three different crown ethers to form alpha-iodo(polyethylene)glycols with various chain lengths is demonstrated. Haloalkanols are important building blocks in synthetic chemistry e.g. for medicinal chemistry purposes.
