Electric Literature of 51437-00-4, The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis 51437-00-4, name is 4-Bromo-1-fluoro-2-methylbenzene, I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
To a stirred solution of di-isopropyl amine (4.01 g, 39.88 mmol) in THF (20 mL) was added n-butyl lithium (1.6 M in hexane) (19.9 mL, 31.91 mmol) at -78 C. slowly dropwise over the period of 10 min, the reaction mixture was stirred at -78 C. for 30 min. A solution of 4-bromo-1-fluoro-2-methylbenzene (5.0 g, 26.6 mmol) in THF (30.0 mL) was added at -78 C., and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1 h at the same temperature. DMF (5.0 mL) was added and stirred at -78 C. for another 30 min. The reaction was monitored by TLC; then the reaction mixture was quenched with 1N HCl solution (aq) at 0 C. The aqueous layer was extracted with diethyl ether, washed with water and saturated brine solution. The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain the crude compound purified by flash column chromatography (SiO2, 100-200 mesh; eluting with 5% ethyl acetate/pet ether) to afford the title compound as a white solid (3.6 g, 64%); mp 48-50 C.: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta 8.33 (s, 1H), 8.22 (s, 1H), 7.67 (s, 1H), 7.60 (s, 1H), 6.75 (dd, J=17.6, 10.8 Hz, 1H), 5.92 (dd, J=17.6, 10.8 Hz, 1H), 5.52 (d, J=17.6 Hz, 1H), 2.21 (s, 3H); ESIMS m/z 211.35 ([M-H]-).
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, 4-Bromo-1-fluoro-2-methylbenzene, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
