Some common heterocyclic compound, 2789-89-1, name is 1,2-Bis(4-bromophenyl)ethyne, molecular formula is C14H8Br2, 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. Application In Synthesis of 1,2-Bis(4-bromophenyl)ethyne
General procedure: Diphenylacetylene (36 mg, 0.20 mmol), NFSI (95 mg, 0.30 mmol,1.5 equiv), bathocuproine (8.7 mg, 24 mumol, 12 mol%), CuBr (2.9 mg, 20 mumol, 10mol%) and CsF (30 mg, 0.20 mmol, 1.0 equiv) were added to a Schlenk tubecontaining a magnetic stirring bar in open air. The tube was evacuated and refilledwith N2 gas following the usual Schlenk technique. Anhydrous 1,2-dichloroethane(2.0 mL, 0.10 M) was added into the tube and the reaction tube was capped with a J.Young O-ring tap. The reaction mixture was stirred and heated at 70 C for 12 h.The mixture was then cooled to room temperature. The crude mixture was filteredthrough a pad of silica gel topped with Na2SO4 in a short column and concentrated invacuo. 2-Fluorobiphenyl (17.2 mg, 0.10 mmol) was added into the crude as aninternal standard and the 19F NMR yield was determined. Purification by flashchromatography on silica gel (hexane/EtOAc = 7:1) followed by concentration invacuo provided 2a in 62% (53.3 mg, 0.124 mmol) yield as white crystals.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2789-89-1, its application will become more common.
