In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 87661-20-9, name is tert-Butyl cyclopropanecarboxylate belongs to esters-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. Application In Synthesis of tert-Butyl cyclopropanecarboxylate
15.9 ml (1.15 equiv.) diisopropylamine were dissolved in 65 ml tetrahydrofuran and cooled to ca -10 C. 65 ml (1.08 equiv.) 1.6 M butyllithium solution in hexane were added over 25 min, maintaining the temperature between -10 C. and 0 C. After 50 nm in at ca. -5 C., the reaction mixture was cooled to -75 C. A solution of 15 g (96.7 mmol, 1 equiv., 92% w/w purity) cyclopropanecarboxylic acid tert-butyl ester in 20 ml tetrahydrofuran was added over 15 min keeping the temperature between -75 C. and -70 C. The reaction mixture was stirred 5 h at -75 C. (milky reaction mixture obtained after 2.5 h). A solution of 12.87 g (1.10 equiv.) allyl bromide was added over 20 min keeping the temperature between -75 C. and -60 C. The reaction mixture was stirred at -78 C. for 1 h, warmed to room temperature and stirred overnight. The reaction mixture was cooled to 0 C. 100 ml sat. aq. ammonium chloride solution were added followed by 30 ml water providing a clear biphasic mixture. The mixture was extracted 3 times with 50 ml tert-butyl methyl ether. The organic phases were combined, dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure (40 C./20 mbar) to afford 16.44 g of crude product. The crude product was distilled (2 mbar; ca 40 C. distillation head temperature) to provide the title compound in ca 65% yield.
The synthetic route of 87661-20-9 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
