Electric Literature of 1646-54-4, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 1646-54-4 name is 1,4-Dibromo-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.
To a 3L four necked round bottom flask fitted with refluxedcondenser and mechanical stirrer, were added 1,4-dibromotetramethylbenzene (30 g, 102.73 mmol), pridine(1250 ml) and water (180 ml). The reaction mixture was heated at100 C with constant stirring. To this reaction mixture, KMnO4(82.5 g, 522.15 mmol) was added in small aliquots in 45 min. Aftercomplete addition the reaction mixture was refluxed for next 5 h.The hot solution was filtered to remove MnO2 from reactionmixture and the solvent concentration of at vacuo. To the residualsolid were added water (1500 ml) and NaOH (70 g). The reactionmixture was stirred and heated at 100 C. KMnO4 (82.5 g,522.15 mmol) was added in small aliquots in 1 h. The reactionmixture was refluxed for next 5 h. Excess of KMnO4 was destroyedby caution addition of ethanol (60 ml). The hot solutionwas filteredto separate MnO2. The filtrate was acidified with aqueous HCl (5N).After solvent was removed under reduced pressure, colorlesscompound obtained. Acetonewas added to this solution and stirredfor 40 min. It was filtered to remove NaCl and filtrate wasconcentrated under reduced pressure to obtain 20 g (47%) product.The colorless powder from acetone .13C NMR (Acetone-d6, 75 MHz)deltad 116.41m (CBr), 138.39 (C-COOH), 165.87 (C]O).
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 1,4-Dibromo-2,3,5,6-tetramethylbenzene, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
