Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of (Triethoxymethyl)benzene

The synthetic route of 1663-61-2 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Application 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.

General procedure: Indolinone 1 (1000 mg, 52.3 mmol) was suspended in acetic anhydride (10 mL) and refluxed at 130 C for 8 h. The reaction mixture was allowed to cool to 50 C and (triethoxymethyl)benzene (2930 mg, 131 mmol) was added. The resulting reaction mixture was stirred at 120 C for 6 h. Then, volatiles were removed in vacuo and petroleum ether was added to the obtained residue. After triturating for 15 min, the separated solids were filtered and washed with petroleum ether and then dried under vacuum to afford 974 mg (51percent) of title compound.

The synthetic route of 1663-61-2 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
