General description

3-Chloro-2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol undergoes oxidation with pyridinium chlorochromate to yield 3-chloro-2,2-dimethylpropanal which spontaneously trimerizes to s-trioxane.

Application

3-Chloro-2,2-dimethyl-1-propanol has been used in combinatorial preparation of new aroma-impact compounds such as polyfunctional thiols.

A novel alkyl lithium-based initiator with relatively large steric hindrance, tert-butyldimethylsiloxydimethylpropyl lithium (TBDMSODPrLi), was designed and synthesized. By using TBDMSODPrLi, hydroxyl-terminated polybutadiene (HTPB) was prepared via anionic polymerization. The macromolecular structure of HTPB was characterized and verified by FTIR and
