Introduction of a new synthetic route about 2,4-Dimethoxy-1-fluorobenzene

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.

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. 17715-70-7, name is 2,4-Dimethoxy-1-fluorobenzene, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Quality Control of 2,4-Dimethoxy-1-fluorobenzene

Preparation 29 6-Fluoro-7-hydroxychroman-4-one A mixture of 1,3-dimethoxybenzene (3.80 mL, 29.0 mmol) and N-fluorodibenzenesulfonamide (4.21 g, 29.21 mmol) was heated at 60 C. overnight. The mixture was cooled and flash chromatographed on silica gel (2*5 inches packed in hexane) with elution proceeding as follows: 3% ethyl acetate/hexane (1000 mL), discarded forerun; 3% ethyl acetate/hexane (1000 mL), 2.69 g of a 2:1 mixture of 2,4-dimethoxyfluorobenzene and starting material which was carried directly into the next step. The product of the above reaction was combined with acetic acid (11 mL) and 48% HBr (11 mL) and refluxed 3 h. The reaction was concentrated and flash chromatographed on silica gel (2*5 inches packed in hexane) with elution proceeding as follows: 10% ethyl acetate/hexane (2000 mL), 0.95 g (43%) of 2,4-dihydroxyfluorobenzene as a waxy white solid which was used without purification. A mixture of 2,4-dihydroxyfluorobenzene (0.15 g, 1.17 mmol), 3-chloropropionic acid (0.13 g, 1.20 mmol) and trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (1 mL) were heated to 80 C. for 3 h. The reaction was poured into water and extracted with ether (3x). The combined organic phase was washed with water and brine, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated to give 2,4-dihydroxy-5-fluoro-beta-chloropropiophenone as a red solid which had: NMR delta7.37 (d, J=10.8 Hz, 1 H), 6.54 (d, J=7.7 Hz, 1 H), 3.87 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 2 H), 3.33 (t, J=6.8 Hz, 2 H). This product still contained some residual 3-chloropropionic acid but was suitable for use in the next reaction.

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.
