Usage

General Description

Methyl (2-Formylphenoxy) acetate is a chemical compound often used in organic synthesis. The formula for the compound is C10H10O4, and it typically presents itself as a colorless to light yellow liquid. It belongs to the class of organic compounds known as phenylacetic acid esters which are characterized by an ester group substituted at the O4-position of a phenylacetic acid or a derivative thereof. It is characterized by a sweet, fruity odor similar to honey, and has the potential for use across various industries including the flavor and fragrance industry due to its unique scent profile. As is true for many chemicals, it should be used with caution since potential toxicity or safety concerns haven't been fully investigated.

An exceptionally stereoselective and general synthesis of (Z)-α-haloacrylates, ready to undergo various synthetic transformations, has been demonstrated from α-haloacetates and aldehydes in a one-pot manner via the titanium-enolate based asymmetric aldol

Potash alum [KAL(SO4)2.12H2O] catalysed esterification of formylphenoxyaliphatic acids

A convenient and clean procedure for esterification is reported. Direct condensation of formylphenoxyaliphatic acids with low to high boiling alcohols catalysed by potash alum gave moderate to good yields. This catalyst could be recovered and reused without substantial loss in its catalytic activity and the methodology could be used for a range of closely related substrates.

Compounds for treatment of cardiac arrhythmia synthesis, and methods of use

The subject invention pertains to novel compounds, and compositions comprising the compounds, for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. The subject invention further concerns a method of making the novel compounds. The novel compounds are rapidly metabolized analogs of amiodarone, having the distinct and advantageous characteristic of being metabolized to a less lipophilic compound. The new compounds can have particular utility for treating life-threatening ventricular tachyarrhythmias, especially in patients with congestive heart failure (CHF). The product can also provide effective management for ventricular arrhythmias and supraventricular arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation and re-entrant tachyarrhythmias involving accessory pathways.
