ConditionsYieldWith sodium hydroxide In tetrahydrofuran; water at 0℃; for 5h; Inert atmosphere;Experimental ProcedureGeneral procedure for the preparation of tosylate compounds (11a,b) analogously to the description in literature General procedure: A solution of sodium hydroxide (5.48 g, 137 mmol) in water (30 mL) was added to a solution of PEG compound (904 mmol) in THF (30 mL). The resulting mixture was cooled to 0 °C and a solution of p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (16.6 g, 87.4 mmol) in THF (100 mL) was slowly added under stirring for 2 hours. After stirring at 0 °C for 3 hours, the reaction mixture was poured onto an ice/water mixture (500 mL). The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with dichloromethane (3 × 200 mL). The combined organic layers were washed twice with water (100 mL), dried with MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo.97%With potassium iodide; silver(l) oxide at 20℃; for 24h; Inert atmosphere;Experimental Procedure1 Step 1-2-ethoxy]ethoxy]ethoxy]ethyl4-methylbenzene sulfonateTo a solution of 2-ethoxy]ethoxy]ethoxy]ethanol (10.0 g, 35.4 mmol, CAS2615-15-8) in DCM (1.00 L) was added Ag2O (9.85 g, 42.5 mmol), KI (587 mg, 3.54 mmol) and 4-methylbenzenesulfonylchloride (6.75 g, 35.4 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred under nitrogen atmosphere at rt for 24 h. On completion, the mixture was filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to give a residue. The residue was purified by silica column chromatography (DCM:MeOH=100:1) to give the title compound (15.0 g, 97% yield) as a yellowish oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) δ 7.73 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 7.27 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 2H), 4.12-4.06 (m, 2H), 3.68-3.50 (m, 22H), 2.38 (s, 3H).97%With potassium iodide; silver(l) oxide In dichloromethane at 20℃; for 18h;94%

BCB (Benzocyclobutene): — Watson International Enables the Transition from Concept to Scalable Application

Benzocyclobutene (BCB) is an organic compound with a rigid molecular structure composed of a conjugated benzene ring and a four-membered ring. Its excellent thermal stability and electrical properties have made it a highly promising candidate for next-generation electronic materials. Historically, its industrial adoption has been constrained by high production costs, complex purification processes, and limited output. However, with growing demand in high-end applications and recent advances in upstream technology, BCB is now poised for industrial-scale deployment. Material Properties and Structural Advantages BCB (C₈H₈) is a non-polar molecule, free of ester, carboxyl, or amide groups, giving it excellent dielectric properties and low moisture absorption. Its dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) remain stable across wide temperature and frequency ranges—key metrics for ensuring signal integrity in high-frequency, high-speed communication systems. Unlike conventional m...

BCB (Benzocyclobutene): — Watson International Enables the Transition from Concept to Scalable Application

Despite BCB’s well-established performance advantages, its commercialization has long been hindered by production cost and scalability challenges. Watson International has made critical breakthroughs in BCB industrialization through integrated innovation in synthesis, purification, and material formulation: Cost Reduction: By optimizing synthetic pathways and improving by-product recovery, Watson has significantly reduced the unit production cost of BCB, enabling cost-effective scaling; High Purity Production: Advanced purification and process control technologies ensure high-purity BCB under mass-production conditions—meeting stringent requirements from high-end electronic manufacturers; Versatile Co-polymerization: Watson’s BCB materials are compatible with other advanced resins such as BMI and PPO, allowing for custom co-polymer design and performance tuning.
