General description

1,2-Dimethoxyethane (DME) is an inert aprotic polar solvent for electrolytes of lithium batteries, polysilicones, oligo- and polysaccharides.

Legal Information

ReagentPlus is a registered trademark of Merck KGaA, Darmstadt, Germany

Application

1,2-Dimethoxyethane can be used as a solvent to synthesize:
  • Oxazoles from α-acylamino ketones via Robinson-Gabriel reaction.
  • 5-Arylhistidines via Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling between 5-bromohistidine and arylboronic acids.
  • Aryl thioethers via Pd-catalyzed thioetherification of aryl halides with aliphatic and aromatic thiols.

A palladium-catalyzed crossed biaryl coupling/reduction sequence enables the formation of meta-substituted biaryls via solvent-mediated arylpalladium(II) reduction. Isotope labeling studies determined that the decomposition of 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME) is indeed involved in the reductive process.

The physical content of and, in particular, the nonlinear contributions from the Langevin-Debye model are illustrated using two applications. First, we provide an improvement in the Langevin-Debye model currently used in some implicit solvent models for computer simulations of solvation
