Application of 2930-05-4,Some common heterocyclic compound, 2930-05-4, name is 2-((Benzyloxy)methyl)oxirane, molecular formula is C10H12O2, 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.
General procedure: In a typical procedure, an admixture comprising of a solid cata-lyst (20 mg), an aryloxy epoxide (1 mmol) and an amine (1 mmol)were taken in a 5 mL screw capped vial and stirred vigorously fora given time period (monitored by TLC) under solvent free con-dition. At the end of the reaction, products amino alcohols wereobtained as viscous liquids or solids. Therefore, the reaction mix-ture was repeatedly washed with methanol (3 mL) and centrifuged.Methanol from the combined organic layer was evaporated underreduced pressure to get crude amino alcohol. A small sample of thecrude product was subjected to HPLC to find out regioselectivity,while rest of the reaction mixture was subjected to flash columnchromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate, 90:10) to get the majorregioisomer in pure form. The purified product was characterizedby1H and13C NMR, FTIR, Microanalysis and characterization datafor all the ring opening products are given in supporting informa-tion. The residue obtained from centrifugation was dried in air (1 h)and then in oven at 100C for 3 h to get back the catalyst (>97%recovery) for further use.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-((Benzyloxy)methyl)oxirane, its application will become more common.
