General description

1,2-Dimethoxybenzene reacts with Li{N(SO2CF3)2} to yield molecular crystal [Li{N(SO2CF3)2}{C6H4(OCH3)2}2] having solid-state lithium ion conductivity. It is a potential pollinator attractant of the nocturnal moth Hadena bicruris.

Application

1,2-Dimethoxybenzene was used to investigate the electroantennogram response of vine weevil, Otiorhynchus sulcatus to plant volatiles.

White campion (Silene latifolia) is a dioecious plant that emits 1,2-dimethoxybenzene (veratrole), a potent pollinator attractant to the nocturnal moth Hadena bicruris. Little is known about veratrole biosynthesis, although methylation of 2-methoxyphenol (guaiacol), another volatile emitted from white campion flowers

The molecular crystals [Li{N(SO2CF3)2}{C6H4(OCH3)2}2] and [Li{N(SO2CF3)2}{C6F2H2(OCH3)2}2] with solid-state lithium ion conductivity have been synthesized by the addition of two equivalents of 1,2-dimethoxybenzene or 1,2-difluoro-4,5-dimethoxybenzene to Li{N(SO2CF3)2}, respectively. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed the formation of ionic conduction paths with an

Definitive X-ray crystallographic evidence is obtained for a single hole (or a polaron) to be uniformly distributed on the three equivalent 1,2-dimethoxybenzenoid (or veratrole) rings in the hexamethoxytriptycene cation radical. This conclusion is further supported by electrochemical analysis and by
