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. 54788-38-4, name is 2-Chloro-4-methoxy-1-methylbenzene, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Recommanded Product: 54788-38-4
General procedure: To anhydrous THF (6.4 mL) in a dry round-bottom flask was added nickel(II)bromide (279 mg, 1.28 mmol), zinc powder (250 mg, 3.83 mmol), and triphenylphosphine (1.68 g, 6.39 mmol). The mixture was heated to 50 C and stirred for 30 min. The selected o-chlorotoluene (8a or 8b, 12.78 mmol) was added, the temperature raised to 60 C, and the reaction was tightly capped and allowed to stir 30 min, then potassium cyanide (1.66 g, 25.5 mmol) was added over the course of 5 h in 2 equal portions. The mixture was allowed to stir an additional 16 h. Water was added to quench the reaction, and the suspension extracted 3× with ether. The resulting organic layer was washed with H2O and brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated to a heterogeneous mixture of white crystals and clear oil. The residue was diluted with 10 mL of toluene, then methyl iodide (997 mg, 7.02 mmol) was added and allowed to stir 16 h at room temperature. The resulting white crystals were removed via vacuum filtration. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to a clear oil. Flash chromatography with 2% EtOAc/hex delivered the pure product in 68-90% yield.
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.
