Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 134364-69-5, name is 2,3-Difluoroanisole, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., category: ethers-buliding-blocks
Example 1; 2′-Chloro-2,5-difluoro-4-methoxybenzophenone Aluminum chloride (92.54 g, 694 mmol) was transferred to a bottle (in a glove bag under dry N2), then to the reaction flask. Dichloromethane (600 mL) was added via syringe and the suspension cooled to 0 C. (ice-H2O bath). 2-Chlorobenzoyl chloride (88.2 mL, 121.45 g, 694 mmol) was added via syringe at 0-5 C. over 13 min. The addition funnel was rinsed with 10 mL dichloromethane. The difluoroanisole (77.8 mL, 100.0 g, 694 mmol) was then added dropwise via syringe at 0-5 C. over 13 min. The resulting yellow solution was stirred at 0-5 C. for 3.5 h (until the bath warmed) then at 20-25 C. for 14 h.The solution is poured over 600 g ice in a 2 L round bottom flask. Dichloromethane (80 mL) was used to complete the transfer. The layers were separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with 80 mL dichloromethane. The combined organic layers were transferred to a 1 L flask (with paddle stirrer) for distillation under dry N2. The dichloromethane is then replaced by n-heptane. At a bath temperature of 55-65 C., the head temperature is 35-38 C. and the pot temperature climbs to as high as 52 C. The pot solution is cooled and n-heptane (400 mL) is added. The distillation is continued. At a bath temperature of 100 C., the head temperature climbs from 55 to 75 C. and pot temperature climbs to as high as 83 C. before stopping the distillation (collected 767 mL total distillate). The pot suspension is now two phases, colorless on top and yellow on bottom. The suspension is allowed to cool to 50 C. and stirred at 200 rpm for 1 h. The suspension is allowed to cool to 40 C. and stirred at 200 rpm for 1 h. The suspension is allowed to cool to 30 C. and stirred at 200 rpm for 1 h. The 30 C. suspension is then cooled to 0-5 C. and stirred for 30 min. The precipitate is suction filtered (600 ml coarse sintered glass funnel), washed with 100 mL n-heptane at 0 C., and air dried 17 h at 25 C. to afford 181.23 g (92.4%) of light yellow solid.Recrystallization from hexanes provides colorless crystals, m.p. 84-85 C.; 500 MHz 1H NMR (CDCl3) delta 7.56 (dd, J=6.5 Hz, J=11.5 Hz, 1H), 7.43-7.39 (m, 3H), 7.38-7.34 (m, 1H), 6.65 (dd, J=6.6 Hz, J=11.5 Hz, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H); 125 MHz 13C NMR (CDCl3) delta 190.2, 159.2 (dd, J=2 Hz, J=253 Hz), 153.9, 148.7 (dd, J=3 Hz, J=244 Hz), 140.0, 131.7, 131.21, 131.19, 130.2, 129.08, 129.07, 127.1, 117.5 (dd, J=3 Hz, J=21 Hz), 101.7 (dd, J=2 Hz, 29 Hz), 56.9; IR (KBr) 3057, 2986, 2941, 1663, 1653, 1620, 1519, 1443, 1420, 1360 cm-1. Elem. Anal. Calcd for C14H9ClF2O2: C, 59.49; H, 3.21; Cl, 12.54; F, 13.44. Found: C, 59.49; H, 3.13.
The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
