Electric Literature of 5961-59-1,Some common heterocyclic compound, 5961-59-1, name is 4-Methoxy-N-methylaniline, molecular formula is C8H11NO, 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.
The synthesis of target compound 3 (Scheme 1C), started with the synthesis of a reported method for compound i.?3 2-Bromo-i,i-diethoxyethane (compound 10) was reacted with ethyl2-cyanoacetate to obtain compound 1 lwhich was cyclized to compound 12 using acetamidine hydrochloride under basic conditions. Chlorination of compound 12 using POC13 provided compound 13 in 80% yield. Displacement of the chloride of compound 13 with 4-methoxy-N- methyl aniline (compound 14) and catalytic amounts of HC1 in isopropanol, provided compound1. Methylation of compound 1 with Mel under basic conditions afforded compound 3 in 85% yield. The synthesis of target compound 5 (Scheme 1C), involved N-formylation of 4-methoxy- 2-methylanline (compound 15) to afford compound 16 in 70% yield. LAH reduction of compound 16 provided substituted aniline compound 17. Displacement of the chloride of compound 13 with anilines (compounds 15 and 17) and catalytic amounts of HC1 in isopropanol provided compounds 4 and 5 (75% and 70% respectively).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 4-Methoxy-N-methylaniline, its application will become more common.
