Usage

General Description

4,4-bis(methoxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylheptane is a specific structural isomer of heptane, a hydrocarbon with the formula C7H16. This particular compound has additional methyl (CH3) and methoxymethyl (CH2OCH3) groups branching off the main heptane chain. This arrangement results in a molecule characterized by increased complexity and molecular weight compared to standard heptane. The properties, reactivity, and applications of 4,4-bis(methoxymethyl)-2,6-dimethylheptane will depend on the nature of these substituents and their influence on the molecular structure as a whole. Unfortunately, this compound is not well-studied, so specific details about its behavior, toxicity, or potential uses are not readily available.

Synthetic route

2,2-di-i-butyl-1,3-dimethoxypropane (129228-07-5) + titanium tetrachloride (7550-45-0) → μ-oxo-bis{trichloro(2,2-diisobutyl-1,3-dimethoxypropane-O,O')titanium(IV)}

Conditions	Yield
With air; water In n-heptane reaction of TiCl4 and the ligand in n-heptane gives the monomeric intermediate which is converted to the product by standing in moist air;
