What is Dimethyl itaconate?

Chemical properties

white crystalline low melting mass or liquid

The Uses of Dimethyl itaconate

Dimethyl Itaconate is a chemical reagent used in the synthesis of functionalized 2-isoxazolines used in fragment-based drug discovery.

The Uses of Dimethyl itaconate

Dimethyl itaconate may be used in functionalization of isotactic poly(propylene). It was used in crosslinking of polyesters: poly(isosorbide itaconate)and poly(isosorbide itaconate-co-succinate).

The Uses of Dimethyl itaconate

Dimethyl itaconate can be used for the rhodium catalyzed asymmetric hydrogenation of (S)-dimethyl-2-methylsuccinate and (R)-methyl succinic acid dimethyl ester.

General Description

Dimethyl itaconate undergoes enantioselective Rh(I)-catalyzed hydrogenation which can be enhanced by appropriate choice of substituents on aromatic ring of (1,2-diarylphosphinoxy)cyclohexane.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable

Purification Methods

Crystallise the ester from MeOH by cooling to -78o. [Beilstein 2 IV 2229.]
