39478-78-9,Some common heterocyclic compound, 39478-78-9, name is 5-Bromo-2-methylaniline, molecular formula is C7H8BrN, 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 5-bromo-2-methyl aniline (6.38 g, 36.74 mmol) in EtOH (30 ml) was added acetonyl acetone (5.0 ml, 42.62 mmol) and one drop of conc. aqueous HCl. The mixture was heated at reflux for 18 h and then cooled. Solvent was evaporated to dryness under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between water and EtOAc. The organic layer was separated and washed with water and brine dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated to dryness under reduced pressure. Purification of the residue by flash chromatography (hex:EtOAc/8:2) gave 5.8 g of 1-(5-bromo-2-methyl-phenyl)-2,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrrole (60%) as a clear oil.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 5-Bromo-2-methylaniline, its application will become more common.
