Electric Literature of 50638-46-5,Some common heterocyclic compound, 50638-46-5, name is 4-Bromo-3-chloroanisole, molecular formula is C7H6BrClO, 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.
Step 1: Preparation of 4-hydroxy-1-(2-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylbutan-1-one [0064] To a 1.0 L, 3-neck round bottom flask, equipped with a mechanical stirrer and an internal thermometer, was added a solution of 4-bromo-3-chloroanisole (12.0 g, 54.0 mmol) in 350 mL of THF under nitrogen. The solution was cooled to -85 C. with a MeOH/liquid nitrogen bath. To this solution was added t-BuLi (72.0 mL, 1.6 M in pentane, 122 mmol) slowly followed by the addition of a solution of alpha-methyl-gamma-butyrolactone (9.25 g, 92.0 mmol) in THF (30.0 mL). The internal temperature was controlled <-80 C. After 1 h stirring at <-80 C., the reaction mixture was quenched with saturated NH4Cl solution and warmed to room temperature. Water and EtOAc were added and separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc (2×). The combined organic solutions was dried (MgSO4) and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo to dryness. The residue was subjected to column chromatography (E:H, 1:3) to give 10.4 g (79%) of brown oil as the title compound: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta 7.53 (d, J =8.6 Hz, 1H), 6.97 (d, J =2.4 Hz, 1H), 6.85 (dd, J =8.6, 2.4 Hz, 1H), 3.88 (s, 3H), 3.77-3.69 (m, 2H), 3.64-3.56 (m, 1H), 2.16-2.07 (m, 1H), 1.76-1.67 (m, 1H), 1.23 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 3H); MS (El m/z 241.16 (M+-H).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 4-Bromo-3-chloroanisole, its application will become more common.
