Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 50868-72-9, name is 5-Methoxy-2-methylaniline, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows., HPLC of Formula: C8H11NO

A solution of 5-methoxy-2-methylbenzenamine (1.3 g, 9.48 mmol) in 48% HBr (13 mL) and EtOH (10 mL) was cooled to 0 C. and NaNO2 (0.78 g, 11.30 mmol) in water (5 mL) was added dropwise over 15 minutes while keeping the temperature of the reaction between 0-5 C. After the clear pale brown solution was kept at 0 C. with stirring for 1 h, this solution was transferred into the boiling solution of CuBr (6.8 g, 47.4 mmol) in 48% HBr (25 mL). The solution was refluxed for overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature and the reaction was diluted with water (50 mL). The acidic solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2*50 mL). The combined ethyl acetate was washed by saturated NaCl (1*50 mL) and was dried over sodium sulfate. The sodium sulfate was removed by filtration and the solvent was removed by vacuum. The crude product was purified by silica gel column (3.5*16 cm) chromatography with hexanes as an eluent to yield colorless oil (750 mg, 39%).

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 50868-72-9.
