Application of 66417-30-9, These common heterocyclic compound, 66417-30-9, name is 2-Bromo-1-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, 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.
A solution of 2-bromo-1-methyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (4.78 g, 20 mmol) in 100 mL of anhydrous THF was cooled to -100 C (liquid nitrogen/ EtOH) under nitrogen. Then 1.4M solution of sec-BuLi in cyclohexane (15 mL, 21 mmol) was added dropwise at – 100 C to -90 C. The mixture was stirred at -100 C to -90 C for 10 min, then a solution of R-(+)-propylene oxide (1.51 g, 1.8 mL, 26 mmol) in 15 mL of THF was added dropwise at -100 C to -90 C, then the mixture was cooled to -105 C and a 46.5% solution Of BF3 in diethyl ether (4.18 mL, 30 mmol) was added dropwise. The mixture was stirred at -100 C to -90 C for 2 h, then the reaction was quenched with 20 mL of sat. aq. NH4Cl at -90 C. The mixture was stirred and warmed to 0 C overnight. Then 20 mL of water was added and mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×60 mL), the extract was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated to give crude oil, which was purified by column (silicagel, EtOAc/hexane 1 :9, Rf = 0.45 in EtOAc/hexane 3:7) to give (2R)-1-[2- methyl-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propan-2-ol (2.87 g, 66 %) as white solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): delta 7.42 (s, 1H), 7.39 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H), 7.27 (d, J = 8.1 Hz, 1H), 4.06 (m, 1H), 2.81 (d, J = 6.39 Hz, 2H), 2.39 (s, 3H), 1.43 (d, J = 4.14 Hz, 1H), 1.29 (d, J = 6.21 Hz, 3H).
The synthetic route of 66417-30-9 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
