Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of C7H8FNO

The synthetic route of 366-99-4 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Reference of 366-99-4, A common heterocyclic compound, 366-99-4, name is 3-Fluoro-4-methoxyaniline, molecular formula is C7H8FNO, its 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.

Step 1. To a mixture of 3-fluoro-4-methoxyaniline (3.00 g, 21.3 mmol) and paraformaldehyde (1.28 g, 42.5 mmol) in MeOH (100 mL) was added sodium methoxide (19.4 mL, 85.0 mmol) and the reaction mixture mixture was sealed and heated at 55 °C for 2 h. After cooling to rt, sodium borohydride (2.01 g, 53.1 mmol) was added in small portions. The final reaction mixture was stirred at rt overnight. The solvent was removed in vacuo and the residue was taken up in EtOAc (100 mL) and washed with water (150 mL). The separated aqueous component was saturated with NaCl, extracted with EtOAc (100 mL) and the combined organic components were washed with brine (50 mL), dried over MgS04, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was taken up into DCM (10 mL) and purified by FCC (80 g silica gel cartridge), eluting with gradient 5percent~50percent EtO Ac- hexanes to afford 3-fluoro-4-methoxy-N-methylaniline (3.08 g) as a light yellow oil. LC- MS retention time = 1.34 min; m/z = 153.42 [M-H]-. (Start percent B = 0, Final percent B = 100, Gradient Time = 2 min, Flow Rate = 1 ml/min, Wavelength = 220, Solvent Pair = Water: Acetonitrile 10 mM Ammonium Acetate, Solvent A = 95percent Water: 5percent Acetonitrilel 10 mM Ammonium Acetate, Solvent B = 5percent Water: 95percent Acetonitrile 10 mM Ammonium Acetate, Column = Phenomenex Luna CI 8 2.0 X 30mm 3um, MW1 = 132+/- Oven Temp. = 40 °C).

The synthetic route of 366-99-4 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
