22385-77-9, Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 22385-77-9, name is 1-Bromo-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzene, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.

2-methyl-4-methoxy-7-(3,5-Di-tert-butylphenyl)-1H-indene To a solution of 3,5-di-tert-butylphenylmagnesium bromide obtained from 59.3 g (0.220 mol) of 1-bromo-3,5-di-tert-butylbenzene and 7.60 g (0.313 mol, 1.42 eqv.) of magnesium turnings in 450 ml of THF 1.00 g (1.28 mmol, 0.65 mol. percent) NiCl2(PPh3)IPr and a solution of 53.4 g (0.197 mol) of 2-methyl-4-bromo-1,7-dimethoxyindane in 50 ml of THF were added. A vigorous reflux occurs approximately after ca. 30 sec and ceased after the following 30 sec. This mixture was stirred for 30 min at room temperature. Finally, 1000 ml of water and then 50 ml of 12 M HCl were added. The product was extracted with 500 ml of dichloromethane, organic layer was separated, the aqueous layer was additionally extracted with 200 ml of dichloromethane. The combined organic extract was dried over K2CO3, passed through a short column with silica gel 60 (40-63 mum), and then evaporated to dryness. To the residue dissolved in 700 ml of toluene 1.4 g of TsOH was added. This solution was refluxed using Dean-Stark head for 20 min, cooled to room temperature, washed with 200 ml of 10percent aqueous NaHCO3. The organic layer was separated, the aqueous layer was extracted with 2*100 ml of dichloromethane. The combined organic solution was evaporated to dryness. The product was isolated by flash chromatography on silica gel 60 (40-63 um; eluent: hexane-dichloromethane=10:1, then 1:1, vol.). This procedure gave 67.6 g (99percent) of 2-methyl-4-methoxy-7-(3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl)-1H-indene as a yellowish crystalline powder. The latter can be recrystallized from n-hexane with marginal loss of weight. Anal. calc. for C25H32O: C, 86.15; H, 9.25. Found: C, 86.09; H, 9.23. 1H NMR (CDCl3): delta 7.40 (m, 1H, 4-H in tBu2C6H3), 7.35 (m, 2H, 2,6-H in tBu2C6H3), 7.15 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, 6-H in indenyl), 6.88 (d, J=8.4 Hz, 1H, 5-H in indenyl), 6.70 (m, 1H, 3-H in indenyl), 3.92 (s, 3H, OMe), 3.41 (m, 2H, 2,2′-H in indenyl), 2.15 (s, 3H, 2-Me in indenyl), 1.38 (s, 18H, tBu).
