These common heterocyclic compound, 50638-46-5, name is 4-Bromo-3-chloroanisole, its 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. Computed Properties of C7H6BrClO
Under argon gas atmosphere, to a solution of 1-bromo-2-chloro-4-methoxybenzene (120 g) in a mixed diglyme (230 mL) and 1,2-dimethoxyethane (90 mL), sodium cyano acetone (62.6 g), sodium t-butoxide (114,6 g) and sodium iodide (81.2 g) were added with stirring at room temperature to obtain a suspension. By another process, under argon gas atmosphere, a mixture of diglyme (40 mL), palladium acetate (426 mg) and triphenylphosphine (1.99 g) was stirred for about 30 minutes at 110C to dissolve. This solution was dropped into the above suspension. The mixture was warmed to 110 to 115C of inside temperature and stirred for 7 hours. The reaction mixture was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate (480 mL) and washed with an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid (concentrated sulfuric acid 101 g/water 660 mL). The organic layer was washed with 10% saturated aqueous solution of sodium chloride (360 mL) twice. Activated charcoal (3.6 g) was added to the organic layer. The mixture was stirred for 1 hour and filtered. The filtrate was washed with ethyl acetate (240 mL) to obtain a solution of 1-cyano-1-(2-chloro-4-methoxyphenyl)propan-2-on (971.7 g). The yield of the title compound that determined using an internal reference method for HPLC described in Example 1, is 101.7 g.
The synthetic route of 4-Bromo-3-chloroanisole has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
