Usage

General Description

Methyl 12-methyltridecanoate is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of organic compounds known as fatty acid methyl esters. It is derived from the process of esterification of a fatty acid with methanol, resulting in the formation of the methyl ester. METHYL 12-METHYLTRIDECANOATE is commonly found in natural fats and oils and is used as a fragrance ingredient in the production of perfumes, colognes, and other scented products. It is known for its sweet, fruity scent with floral nuances and is often used to add a pleasant aroma to various cosmetic and personal care products. Additionally, it has potential applications in the formulation of flavors and food products due to its pleasant odor profile.

Alkylation of alkenes: Ethylaluminum sesquichloride-mediated hydro-alkyl additions with alkyl chloroformates and di-tert-butylpyrocarbonate

A general method for the hydro-alkyl addition to the nonactivated C=C double bond of alkenes using alkyl chloroformates (primary, secondary), 12, and di-tert-butylpyrocarbonate, 52, mediated by ethylaluminum sesquichloride (Et3Al2Cl3) has been developed. Reaction of 12 and 52, respectively, with Et3Al2Cl3 gives an alkyl cation which is added to the alkene; hydride transfer to the adduct carbenium ion or, if applicable, 1,2-H shift followed by hydride transfer from Et3Al2Cl3 to the rearranged adduct carbenium ion gives the saturated addition product. The reaction has been applied to 1-alkenes, 2-methyl-1-alkenes, internal double bonds, and to three cyclic alkenes. Special interest has been focused on alkylations of unsaturated fatty compounds, such as oleic acid (2), which are important renewable feedstocks. 2-Methylalkanes, 3-methylalkanes, 2,4-dimethylalkanes, 2,3-dimethylalkanes, 2,2,4-trimethylalkanes, cyclohexylalkanes, and carboxylic acids and esters with the respective branched alkyl chain have been synthesized with good to moderate yields.
