Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 116419-94-4, name is Methyl 4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Application In Synthesis of Methyl 4-methyl-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzoate
To a solution of 4-methyl-3-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid (1.71 g, 8.37 mmol) in DMF (20 mE) was added potassium carbonate (1.39 g, 10.1 mmol) and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for five minutes. lodomethane (0.78 mE, 12.5 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture stirred at room temperature for 18 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with ethyl acetate and washed with water and brine (x2). The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and the filtrate evaporated at reduced pressure to afford methyl 4-methyl-3-trifluo- romethylbenzoate. The material was dissolved in carbon tetrachloride (10 mE) and treated sequentially with N-bromosuccinimide (2.74 g, 15.4 mmol) and benzoyl peroxide (catalytic) and heated at 80 C. for 18 hours. The mixture allowed to cool and diluted with water. The mixture was poured through a hydrophobic fit and the solvent evaporated at reduced pressure to afford methyl 4-(dibromom- ethyl)-3-trifluoromethylbenzoate. The material was dissolved in acetone/water (25 mE/S mE) and silver nitrate (2.38 g, 14.0 mmol) added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 72 hours. The suspension was filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate diluted with ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water and brine. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was dissolved acetone/ water (25 mE/S mE) and silver nitrate (2.38 g, 14.0 mmol) added. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 24 hours. The suspension was filtered through a pad of celite and the filtrate diluted with ethyl acetate. The solution was washed with water and brine. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (eluent-100% i-hexane to 8:1 i-hexane/ethyl acetate) to afford the title compound (0.537 g, 33%). 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDC13); oe 10.46-10.45 (m,1H), 8.46 (s, 1H), 8.35 (d, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 8.20 (d, J=8.2 Hz,1H), 4.00 (s, 3H).
The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
