Some tips on 2-((Benzyloxy)methyl)oxirane

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 2-((Benzyloxy)methyl)oxirane, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

Reference of 2930-05-4, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 2930-05-4 name is 2-((Benzyloxy)methyl)oxirane, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.

In a glass RBF equipped with a Teflon- coated magnetic stirrer and a reflux condenser was dissolved 2-benzyloxymethyl-oxirane (1 eq.) in a 3:1 (v/v) solution (0.08 M) of methanol and water. To this was then added sodium azide (2 eq.) and ammonium chloride (1.5 eq.), and the resulting mixture was heated at reflux for 14 h. The reaction solution was cooled to RT and diluted with tBuOMe. The organic layer was separated, washed further with sat. aq. NH4C1, dried over MgSO4, and filtered. Concentration of the filtrate in vacuo delivered the crude product as a pale yellow oil. Further purification by way of column chromatography (Si02, gradient elution, 9:1 (v/v) Hex: EtOAc – 3:7 (v/v) Hex:EtOAc) furnished the desired product as a colorless oil (71% yield).
