Application

3,5-Dimethoxytoluene (DMT) may be used in the synthesis of 3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid by oxidation and 2-methoxy-6-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone by catalytic oxidation with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)/methyltrioxorhenium (CH3ReO3) in dimethyl carbonate (DMC).

General description

3,5-Dimethoxytoluene (DMT) is a methoxylated phenolic derivative. It is reported to be one of the main constituent of the floral volatiles in different rose varieties. It has been biosynthesized from orcinol by two successive methylation catalyzed by O-methyltransferases (OMTs). The features of its aerobic oxidation with metal/bromide catalysts have been investigated.

Rose (Rosa hybrida) flowers produce and emit a diverse array of volatiles, characteristic to their unique scent. One of the most prominent compounds in the floral volatiles of many rose varieties is the methoxylated phenolic derivative 3,5-dimethoxytoluene (orcinol dimethyl ether).
