6940-78-9, Adding some certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 6940-78-9, name is 1-Bromo-4-chlorobutane, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 6940-78-9.
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.
Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 6940-78-9.
