These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 1,2-Dibromo-4-methylbenzene, its application will become more common.
Reference of 60956-23-2,Some common heterocyclic compound, 60956-23-2, name is 1,2-Dibromo-4-methylbenzene, molecular formula is C7H6Br2, 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.
General procedure: A 12 mL vial was charged with Pd(OAc)2 (2 mol%), BuPAd2 (6 mol%), and a stirring bar. Then, 2 ml dioxane and 1 mmol of bromobenzene were injected by syringe. The vial (or several vials) was placed in an alloy plate, which was transferred into a 300 mL autoclave of the 4560 series from Parr Instruments under argon atmosphere. After flushing the autoclave three times with NH3, a pressure of 2 bar NH3 and 2 bar CO was adjusted at ambient temperature. Then, the reaction was performed for 16 hours at 100 oC. After the reaction is finished, the autoclave was cooled down to room temperature and the pressure was released carefully. Then, CuI (5 mol%), DMEDA (10%), K2CO3 (3 mmol) and 1,2-dibromobenzene were added in under air, the vial was closed and heated to 110oC for 20 hours. The reaction mixture cooled down to room temperature. The solution was extracted 3-5 times with 2-3 ml of ethyl acetate from aqua solution. After evaporation of the organic solvent the residue was adsorbed on silica gel and the crude product was purified by column chromatography using n-heptane/AcOEt (20:1) as eluent.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 1,2-Dibromo-4-methylbenzene, its application will become more common.
