Electric Literature of 2789-89-1, A common heterocyclic compound, 2789-89-1, name is 1,2-Bis(4-bromophenyl)ethyne, molecular formula is C14H8Br2, 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.
To a solution of di(4-bromophenyl)acetylene (719 mg, 2.14 mmol, 1 equiv) in dry THF (60 mL) was added the fresh solution (Ca. 0.4 mol/L) of (4-dodecylphenyl)magnesium bromide (20 mL, 8.57 mmol, 4 equiv) in a flame-dried apparatus. PdCI2(dppf) (138 mg,0.17 mmol, 8 mol%) was then added and the reaction mixture was stirred at reflux under argon overnight. The solution was then cooled down to room temperature. The obtained white precipitate was filtered and washed with methanol and petroleum ether. 044 was obtained as an off-white solid (1.1672 mg, 82%).
The synthetic route of 2789-89-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
