Electric Literature of 22236-10-8, Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 22236-10-8, name is 4-(Difluoromethoxy)aniline, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.
In a 20 mL four-necked flask, 4-(difluoromethoxy)aniline (0.5 g, 3.14 mmol) and hydrochloric acid (37% in water, 0.54 ml, 6.6 mmol) were combined with water (5 ml) to give a light yellow solution. Cooled to 0 C using an ice-bath, sodium nitrite (217 mg, 3.14 mmol) was dissolved in water (1 ml) and added carefully ensuring that the temperature did not increase above 5 C. Sodium azide (204 mg, 3.14 mmol) was dissolved in water (1 ml) and added drop-wise to the orange solution, keeping the temperature below 5 C. The reaction mixture was cooled at 0-5 C for 1 hour and an orange emulsion was observed. The layers were separated using TBME and the organic layer was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulphate and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to yield l-azido-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzene as an orange liquid. In a 50 ml round-bottomed flask, l-azido-4-(difluoromethoxy)benzene (540 mg, 2.92 mmol) was combined with THF (10 ml) and dimethylsulfoxide (0.16 ml) to give an orange solution. Then ethyl propiolate (858 mg, 0.89 ml, 8.75 mmol), copper (I) iodide (556 mg, 2.92 mmol) and 2,6- lutidine (625 mg, 0.68 ml, 5.83 mmol) were added and the reaction mixture was stirred for 2 hours at room temperature. Water and ethyl acetate were added and the layers were separated. The organic layer was washed with 1 N hydrochloric acid and brine, dried over MgS04 and filtered. The filtrate was concentrated under vacuum to yield a brown solid, which was adsorbed on silica gel and purified by flash chromatography (20 g Silica gel, 20% ethyl acetate in heptane) yielding 698 mg (84%) of a light yellow solid. MS (ISP): 284.2 ([M+H]+).
The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis 4-(Difluoromethoxy)aniline. I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
