Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 27741-65-7, name is Ethyl 2-cyclobutylideneacetate, belongs to esters-buliding-blocks compound, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 27741-65-7, Application In Synthesis of Ethyl 2-cyclobutylideneacetate
Step 2: 6′-Hydroxy-5,7′-dimethylspiro[cyclobutane-1,2′-thiochromen]-4′(3’H)-one To a solution of 4-mercapto-2,6-dimethylphenol (2.5 g) in anhydrous methanol (40 mL) containing trimethyl orthoformate (3 mL), was added cyclobutylidene-acetic acid ethyl ester (7.6 g) and then 5 drops of concentrated sulfuric acid. The solution was deoxygenated by bubbling with nitrogen, and was allowed to reflux for 4 days. The mixture was concentrated, washed with saturated NaHCO3 and extracted with ethyl acetate. After concentrated in vacuo, the residue was purified by flash chromatography eluted with 10-20% ethyl acetate in hexane to give 3.1 g of methyl {1-[(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylphenyl)thio]cyclobutyl}acetate as a white solid. The above addition product (3.1 g) was suspended in 200 mL of 1N NaOH in MeOH and water (1:1, v/v), and the mixture was allowed to stir for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was then acidified with 1N HCl and extracted 3 times with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo.
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, Ethyl 2-cyclobutylideneacetate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
