Abstract:Chloromethylmethyl ether (CME) and bis-chloromethyl ether (BCME) are very convenient and efficient chloromethylating reagents, yet they are listed as carcirogens.' BCME is more notorious than CME. Consequently, several attempts have been made to synthesize CME free of BCME,, or iodomethyl-methyl ether free of BCME,3 or to introduce alternative reagents such as methylal/chlorosulfonic acid,4 or to generate incipient halomethyl furonium ion from l-chloro-4-chloro-(bromo)methoxy butane and 1,4-bis-[chloro(bromo)m… Show more
“…DOW-C resin was chloromethylated as previously reported [20] to afford a 20 mol% content of functionalized co-units, the resulting chloromethylated resin containing 6 wt% Cl (1.7 meq of Cl/g). Some 10 g of chloromethylated DOW-C resin (17.0 meq of Cl), suspended under dry argon in 300 ml of anhydrous DMF, were swelled by stirring for 8 hr at room temperature.…”

“…But chloromethyl methyl ether is a notorious carcinogen, so haloalkyl alkyl ethers having longchain alkyl groups have been investigated as safer reagents. 26,27 In this study, CMOE was used as a much less volatile reagent than the classical one. Table 1 shows some characteristics of the chloromethylated polysulphones (PSF-CM).…”

Some 3.4 g of chloromethylated Dow C resin (12 meq of Cl) were suspended in 100 ml of DMF, stirred for 2 hr and then slowly added to 3 g (13.1 mmol) of sodium hexafluoroacetylacetonate.…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
