The origin of a common compound about 7051-16-3

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.

Application of 7051-16-3, A common heterocyclic compound, 7051-16-3, name is 1-Chloro-3,5-dimethoxybenzene, molecular formula is C8H9ClO2, its traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route.

REFERENCE EXAMPLE 68 5-Chloro-1,3-Dihydroxybenzene A solution 5-chloro-1,3-dimethoxybenzene (20.71 g) in dichloromethane (50 ml) at -78 C. was treated dropwise with a solution of boron tribromide (56 ml) in dichloromethane (250 ml), maintaining the temperature at -78 C. The mixture was slowly warmed to room temperature then left at ambient temperature for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with water (100 ml), (sodium hydroxide scrubber required) and partitioned between water (1000 ml) and dichloromethane (1000 ml). The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted twice with a mixture of dichlioromethane and methanol (500 min, 98:2, v/v). The combined organic extracts were washed with saturated brine (200 ml), dried over magnesium sulphate and evaporated affording the title compound (10.17 g) as a yellow/orange oil which was used without further purification.

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
