Application

3,5-Dimethylphenol was used in simultaneous determination of urinary concentrations of phenol, o-, p-, m-cresols, 1-, 2-naphthol and xylenol isomers by capillary gas chromatography. It was used as starting reagent for total synthesis of landomycin A, most potent antitumor angucycline antibiotic and optically active polypropionate units.

Optically active polypropionate units were synthesized in 9-11 steps from 3,5-dimethylphenol. The sequence consists of the Buchner reaction controlled by a chiral 2,4-pentanediol tether and diastereoselective hydrogenation over Raney nickel. [reaction: see text]

The first total synthesis of landomycin A, the longest and most potent antitumor angucycline antibiotic, has been achieved in 63 steps and 0.34% overall yield starting from 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3,5-dimethylphenol, triacetyl d-glucal, and d-xylose, with a convergent linear sequence of

Lanthanide complexes are more and more used in biomedical imaging as contrast agents (CA). The development of these paramagnetic complexes as CA for medical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and luminescent probes for optical imaging is very complementary. Gd complexes are
