Continuously updated synthesis method about 21120-91-2

These common heterocyclic compound, 21120-91-2, name is 7-Bromobicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-triene, 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. HPLC of Formula: C8H7Br

To a stirred solution of mercury(II) oxide (591.3 mg, 2.73 mmol) and 35 % aqueous tetrafluoroboric acid (TFBA) (999.4 mg, 5.46 mmol) in 1,4-dioxane (10.9 mL), 1- bromobenzocyclobutene (1.0 g, 5.46 mmol) was added. The reaction stirred at room temperature for 2 h and was then treated successively with NaHCO3 and 3N KOH until the solution remained basic. The precipitated mercury(II) oxide was filtered off and the filtrate extracted with CH2Cl2 (3 x 300 mL), dried with anhydrous Na2SO4, filtered, and concentrated to yield white crystals that were purified via column chromatography using a 3:2 Hexanes:EtOAc solvent system.

The synthetic route of 7-Bromobicyclo[4.2.0]octa-1,3,5-triene has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
