A common compound: 115144-40-6, name is 3,4-Difluoroanisole, belongs to ethers-buliding-blocks compound, it can change the direction of chemical reaction, and react with certain compounds to generate new functional products. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below. 115144-40-6
a) 7.29 ml (66.3 mmol) of titanium tetrachloride were added while stirring to a solution, cooled to 0, of 5.73 g (39.8 mmol) of 3,4-difluoroanisole in 30 ml of anhydrous dichloromethane. Subsequently, the mixture was treated dropwise over 10 minutes with 3.51 ml (39.6 mmol) of 1,1-dichloromethyl methyl ketone and stirred at room temperature for one hour. The mixture was poured into 100 ml of ice-water, extracted twice with 150 ml of dichloromethane each time and the combined organic phases were washed once with 100 ml of water and once with 100 ml of saturated sodium chloride solution. After drying over magnesium sulfate concentration was carried out in a vacuum. The crude product obtained was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane/ethyl acetate 4:1). There were obtained 5.8 g (84%) of 4,5-difluoro-2-methoxybenzaldehyde as a white solid with m.p. 74.
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, 115144-40-6, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
