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. 32768-54-0, name is 2,3-Dichlorotoluene, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., HPLC of Formula: C7H6Cl2
EXAMPLE 1 Preparation of 2,3-dichloro-6-nitrotoluene 208 mmole concentrated nitric acid and 270 mmole concentrated sulfuric acid were mixed and cooled to ambient temperature. 200 mmole 2,3-dichlorotoluene was added to a reaction flask and was cooled in an ice-water bath. The acid mixture was added slowly with stirring to the dichlorotoluene keeping the dichlorotoluene in the ice-water bath. After all the acid had been added, the mixture in the ice-water bath was stirred for about 10 minutes. A drying tube was attached to the reaction flask and the reaction mixture warmed to ambient temperature. The reaction mixture was heated at 50 C. with stirring for three hours. The reaction mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and the acid drained. The organic layer was washed with water and discarded. 1 % sodium carbonate was added to neutralize the acid. Ethyl acetate was added and partitioned the product to the organic phase. Ethyl acetate was added until the organic phase cleared. The organic phase was washed with water, followed by washing with half-saturated aqueous brine solution and washing with saturated aqueous brine solution. The organic phase was dried with sodium sulfate and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by flash column chromatography using silica gel 60 (35 to 70-um particle size) at 5% product loading. The elution solvent was 100% hexane. Unreacted starting material elutes first followed by the ortho nitro product then by a material hypothesized to be the para nitro compounds. The yield was about 50% of a light yellow solid based on 2,3-dichlorotoluene.
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.
