Application of ((2-Bromoethoxy)methyl)benzene

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route ((2-Bromoethoxy)methyl)benzene, its application will become more common.

Application of 1462-37-9,Some common heterocyclic compound, 1462-37-9, name is ((2-Bromoethoxy)methyl)benzene, molecular formula is C9H11BrO, 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.

To a solution of methyl 3-hydroxy-5-methoxybenzoate (Chakraporty, T. K. and Reddy, G. V. J. Org. Chem, 57, 1992, 5462.) (3.3 g, 18.1 mmol) in dry DMF (30 mL) was added K2CO3 (6.3 g, 45.3 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 10 minutes then ((2-bromoethoxy)methyl)benzene (3.4 mL, 21.7 mmol) was added and the mixture stirred at 160 C. for 2 hrs. The reaction was cooled down to room temperature and diluted with EtOAc, washed with water and brine, and dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to give the crude product (90%) which was used in the next step without further purification.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route ((2-Bromoethoxy)methyl)benzene, its application will become more common.
