• Background Description

• Methoxymethyl methyl carbonate belongs to aliphatic carbonates. The methoxymethyl group in its structure can act as an electrophile in nucleophilic substitution reactions, while the methyl ester group can be converted into other functional groups through reactions such as hydrolysis and alcoholysis. In drug synthesis, this compound is often used as a methoxymethylation reagent for protecting hydroxyl groups or introducing methyl structures, with mild reaction conditions and high selectivity, meeting the efficiency requirements of modern organic synthesis.

• Research Status

• Synthesis Process: A catalytic synthesis route using dimethyl carbonate and methoxymethanol as raw materials has been developed, improving product yield by optimizing catalysts (such as Lewis acids or bases) and reaction temperature;

• Application Expansion: Exploring its feasibility as a hydroxyl protecting group in oligonucleotide synthesis and its application in peptide drug modification;

• Green Chemistry: Studying a one-pot synthesis process using carbon dioxide as a carbon source to reduce reaction energy consumption and environmental pollution
