Application of 15012-36-9, A common heterocyclic compound, 15012-36-9, name is Methyl 2,3-dimethylbenzoate, molecular formula is C10H12O2, 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.
Methyl 2,3-dimethylbenzoate was dissolved in concentrated sulfonic acid (10 mL). KNO3 (808 mg, 1.2 eq.) was added to the solution at 0 C., then slowly warmed to rt overnight. The reaction was quenched with water (80 mL), extracted with ethyl acetate (2¡Á80 mL). The organic layers were evaporated to give mixture of nitrated ester and acid (1:1). The mixture was redissolved in DMF (10 mL). K2CO3 (1.1 g) and iodomethane (0.5 mL) were added to the solution. The reaction was stirred at rt for three days, then diluted with water (80 mL). It was extracted with ethyl acetate (3¡Á80 mL) and evaporated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (EtOAc in hexanes=0-30% in 45 min) to give the desired nitrobenzoate ester. 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO) delta 8.31 (s, 1H), 8.24 (s, 1H), 3.86 (s, 3H), 2.46 (s, 3H), 2.40 (s, 3H).
The synthetic route of 15012-36-9 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
