CAS 38222-83-2: 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine is used for the generation of enol triflates from ketones using trifluoromethanesulfonic anhydride. It is also used in the synthesis of 1,2-dihydro-2-silanaphthalene derivatives, as base in PtCl4-catalyzed cyclization reactions of homopropargyl azide derivatives and in diastereoselective synthesis of β-thiomannopyranosides.

2,6-Bis(tert-butyl)-4-methylpyridine

2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylpyridine (2,6-DBMP) is a thianthrene derivative that has been used in asymmetric synthesis and transfer reactions. 2,6-DBMP is synthesized by reacting the appropriate carbonyl chloride with the corresponding 2,6-di-tert butylpyridine. It can also be prepared by the palladium catalyzed coupling of a benzyl halide and an allyl bromide. The compound's stereoselectivity depends on the reactants' configuration at C2. This property makes it useful for the preparation of chiral molecule such as oligosaccharides and methyl glycosides. 2,6-DBMP has shown to have immunomodulatory activity against mutant strains of human erythrocytes in vitro.
