Simple exploration of (Trimethoxymethyl)benzene

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.

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. 707-07-3, name is (Trimethoxymethyl)benzene, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Formula: C10H14O3

General procedure: To a stirred solution of the respective N-carbamate protected aminoalcohol 1 (0.50 mmol, 1 equiv) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL, 0.05 M) were added BF3·OEt2 (50 muL, 0.050 mmol, 0.1 equiv or 150 muL, 0.15 mmol, 3 equiv, 1.0 M solution in CH2Cl2) and trimethyl orthobenzoate (0.13 mL, 0.75 mmol, 1.5 equiv) at r.t. The resulting mixture was stirred at r.t. under N2 until TLC showed complete conversion of the substrate. The reaction was quenched with sat. aq NaHCO3 and extracted with EtOAc(2 ×). The combined organic layers were washed with brine, dried(MgSO4), filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash chromatography on silica gel (hexane/EtOAc) to give the desired product 2.
