Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 6940-78-9, name is 1-Bromo-4-chlorobutane, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., category: chlorides-buliding-blocks
Step 1 Synthesis of 1-(4-Chlorobutyl)-1,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-4-one: To a solution of 1,5,6,7-tetrahydroindol-4-one (10.0 g, 74.0 mmol) in acetone (300 mL) was added powdered sodium hydroxide (3.26 g, 81.4 mmol) and the mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 0.25 h. 1-Bromo-4-chlorobutane (9.38 mL, 81.4 mmol) was then added and the resulting mixture stirred at ambient temperature for 7 h after which time TLC (ethyl acetate:dichloromethane 1:1) showed complete reaction. The reaction was gravity filtered to remove salts, and the filtrate concentrated to dryness under vacuum. The resulting residue was dissolved in dichloromethane (200 mL) and gravity filtered again to remove more salts. The filtrate was then washed with water, dried with sodium sulfate, filtered and the solvent removed under vacuum to yield an oil. Flash chromatography using 6 in. of silica gel in a 5.5 cm column eluding with 1:1 followed by 2:1 ethyl acetate:hexane on half of the residue yielded 9.0 g of an oil which contained ~6.0 g of pure product (72%) and ~3.0 g of acetone aldol condensation product (4-hydroxy-4-methyl-2-pentanone). The oil was taken to the next step without further purification.
The synthetic route of 6940-78-9 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
