This article reports two discoveries. (1) 2-Methoxyethanol induces unprecedented selectivity for etherification of 5-hydroxy-2-nitrobenzic acids without forming undesired esters. (2) Such compounds are precursors for amides showing unusual robustness against oxidative degradation, essential for molecular electrets that transfer strongly oxidizing holes at about -6.4 eV vacuum.
本文报道了两项发现。(1)2-甲氧基乙醇对5-羟基-2-硝基苯甲酸的醚化反应具有前所未有的选择性,且不会形成不需要的酯。(2)这类化合物是酰胺的前体,对氧化降解表现出异常的稳定性,这对于在约-6.4 eV真空下转移强氧化性空穴的分子驻极体至关重要。
