Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 1-(Benzyloxy)-3-bromobenzene

The synthetic route of 53087-13-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 53087-13-1, name is 1-(Benzyloxy)-3-bromobenzene belongs to ethers-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. Recommanded Product: 1-(Benzyloxy)-3-bromobenzene

The 2-(3-hydroxyphenyl)-2,3-dimethoxypropan-1-ol, used as a starting material, was obtained as follows: Methoxyaceonitrile (14 g) in tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) was added to a solution of 3-benzyloxyphenylmagnesium bromide [prepared by heating a mixture of 3-benzyloxybromobenzene (52.6 g), magnesium powder (4.8 g) and tetrahydrofuran (250 ml) to 60 C. for 3 hours] in tetrahydrofuran and the mixture was heated to 60 C. for 30 minutes. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature and acidified by the addition of 3N hydrochloric acid solution (250 ml). The mixture was extracted with diethyl ether. The organic phase was washed with water and with a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, dried (MgSO4) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography using a 19:1 v/v mixture of methylene chloride and diethyl ether as eluent. There was thus obtained 3-benzyloxyphenyl methoxymethyl ketone (32.3 g, 63%), as an orange oil.

The synthetic route of 53087-13-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
