Electric Literature of 1663-61-2, A common heterocyclic compound, 1663-61-2, name is (Triethoxymethyl)benzene, molecular formula is C13H20O3, 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.
b. l-Azidoethyl-2,4-dibenzoylmannoseTo a 1.0L, 3-neck flask containing a stir bar, nitrogen inlet and 300 mL of anhydrous acetonitrile was added 25 gm 1-azidoethylmannose (100.4 mmole), and 50 mL triethyl orthobenzoate (220 mmole, 2.2 equiv.). The resulting slurry was stirred at room temperature and 0.8mL (10 mmole) trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) was added neat. The solution cleared within 10 minutes and stirring was continued for an additional two hours , then 25 mL of 10percent aqueous TFA was added and stirring was continued for an additional 2 hours to hydrolyze the intermediate to the ester isomers. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum to a viscous oil, which was triturated with 50 mL DCM and again evaporated to a viscous oil.Toluene (70 mL) was added to the residue and the viscous solution was seeded with 2,4- dibenzoylazidoethylmannose. A fine precipitate formed within 15 minutes and stirring was continued overnight at room temperature. The resulting heavy suspension was set in the freezer for 2-4 hours, then filtered and the solid washed with ice cold toluene (2×10 mL). The solid was air dried to a constant weight to give 21 gm (TY 22.85 gm (at) 50percent isomeric purity) of -95percent isomeric purity. The product was taken into 40 mL toluene, stirred for 1 hour and then set in the freezer for an additional 2 hours. The solid was filtered and washed (2×10 mL) with ice cold toluene and air dried to a constant weight to give 18.5 gm of the single isomer product 2,4- dibenzoylazidoethylmannose in 83percent yield. The mother liquors contained the undesired isomer and a small amount of the desired isomer. The reaction was monitored by TLC: SG (Hexane/Ethyl Acetate 7/3) Starting Material Rf 0.0, orthoester intermediate Rf 0.9. (Hexane/Ethyl Acetate: 8/2) SM Rf 0.8, desired isomer Rf 0.4, un-desired isomer Rf 0.2. 1H NMR 300MHz (CDCl3) delta 8.12(t, 4H), 7.66(t, 2H), 7.5(m, 4H), 5.56(t, IH), 5.48(m, IH), 5.14(m, IH), 4.5(dd, IH), 4.0(m, 2H), 3.8(m, 3H), 3.56(m, IH), 3.44(m, IH).
The synthetic route of 1663-61-2 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
