A common compound: 54932-72-8, name is 4-Bromo-1-chloro-2-methylbenzene, belongs to chlorides-buliding-blocks compound, it can change the direction of chemical reaction, and react with certain compounds to generate new functional products. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below. 54932-72-8
General procedure: Nitrogen was purged through a stirred solution of 4-bromo-1-chloro-2-methylbenzene (258muL, 1.95mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (5mL) for 30min rac-BINAP (363mg, 1.95mmol), caesium carbonate (1.27g, 3.89mmol), 1-Boc-piperazine (363mg, 1.95mmol) and Pd(OAc)2 (87mg, 0.039mumol) and stirred at reflux for 14h under N2. The reaction was filtered through celite and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in EtOAc (20mL), filtered through celite and washed with additional EtOAc (50mL). The organic layer was washed with water (2¡Á20mL) and brine (2¡Á20mL), dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified by column chromatography (100% CyHex to 10% EtOAc/CyHex) to obtain the protected intermediate as a solid (413mg, 68%). MS, m/z=255 (100) [M-tBu]. The intermediate was dissolved in a 1:3 mixture of TFA/DCM (4mL) and stirred at 20C for 1h. The solvent was evaporated in vacuo and the crude residue dissolved in EtOAc (10mL) which was successively washed with a 10% solution of NaHCO3 (10mL), water (10mL) and brine (10mL). The organic layer dried with Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo to obtain 92 as a solid (211mg, 76%). 1H NMR (300MHz; CDCl3): delta 7.23 (d, J 8.8Hz, 1H), 6.80 (d, J 2.9Hz, 1H), 6.71 (dd, J 3.0, 8.7Hz, 1H), 3.35-3.19 (m, 8H), 2.35 (s, 3H). MS, m/z=211 (100) [M+H]+, 213 (30).
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, 54932-72-8, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
