Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 558-13-4

Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 558-13-4.

These common heterocyclic compound, 558-13-4, name is Carbontetrabromide, 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. 558-13-4

To an ice cold solution of the hexanol (ca. 19.8 mmoles) and carbon tetrabromide (21.98 mmoles) in methylene chloride (50 ml) was added triphenylphosphine (22.30 mmoles) in methylene chloride (50 ml) and the resulting solution was stirred for 2.5 hours. The volatiles were evaporated and the residue was taken up in ether (100 ml), cooled in ice, and filtered The filtrate was evaporated and distilled to afford 6-phenylhexyl bromide as an oil.

Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 558-13-4.
