Electric Literature of 36942-56-0,Some common heterocyclic compound, 36942-56-0, name is 2-Bromo-4-methoxy-1-methylbenzene, molecular formula is C8H9BrO, 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.
A RBF was charged with (1,5-cyclooctadiene)(methoxy)-iridium(i) dimer (0.049 g, 0.075 mmol), 4,4′-di-tert-butyl-2,2′-dipyridyl (0.040 g, 0.149 mmol), and bis(pinacolato)diboron (1.339 g, 5.27 mmol). The flask was flushed with Ar (g), then hexane (15.30 ml) was added. A reflux condenser was attached to the flask, and the flask was heated to 50 C. for 10 minutes. 2-bromo-4-methoxy-1-methylbenzene (2.0 g, 9.95 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred overnight at 50 C. The reaction was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water. The aqueous layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, and the combined organic layers were dried with sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated. The material was purified via column chromatography (RediSep Gold 80 g, gradient elution 0-50% EtOAc:Heptane) to afford 2-(4-bromo-2-methoxy-5-methylphenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolane (0.694 g, 2.122 mmol, 21.33% yield) as an off-white oily solid. m/z (ESI) 329.1 (M+H)+.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Bromo-4-methoxy-1-methylbenzene, its application will become more common.
