Introduction of a new synthetic route about 61837-46-5

Statistics shows that Methyl 2-bromo-4-methylpentanoate is playing an increasingly important role. we look forward to future research findings about 61837-46-5.

Application of 61837-46-5, These common heterocyclic compound, 61837-46-5, name is Methyl 2-bromo-4-methylpentanoate, 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.

Preparation of 2-(4-benzyloxy-2-oxo-2H-pyridin-1-yl)-4-methyl-pentanoic acid methyl ester: A solution of 4-benzyloxy-1H-pyridin-2-one (15 g, 74.6 mmol) in N,N,-dimethylformamide (200 mL) was treated with 2-bromo-4-methyl-pentanoic acid methyl ester (29.2 g, 112 mmol, 80% purity) and potassium carbonate (15.5 g, 112 mmol). The mixture was stirred at 80 C. overnight. At this time, the reaction was allowed to cool to 25 C. and was then concentrated to dryness in vacuo. The residue was washed with ethyl acetate (300 mL) and the remaining solid was removed by filtration. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. Flash column chromatography (ethyl acetate:petroleum ether:1:2) afforded 2-(4-benzyloxy-2-oxo-2H-pyridin-1-yl)-4-methyl-pentanoic acid methyl ester (18 g, 73%); 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3): delta 7.41-7.36 (m, 5H), 7.21 (d, 1H, J=7.8 Hz), 6.06-6.00 (m, 2H), 5.7 (dd, 1H, J1=10.5 Hz, J2=5.4 Hz), 4.99 (s, 2H), 3.71 (s, 3H), 1.96-1.86 (m, 2H), 1.49-1.42 (m, 1H), 0.96 (d, 3H, J=6.6 Hz), 0.93 (d, 3H, J=6.9 Hz), LC-MS: 330 [M+1]+, tR=2.71 min.

Statistics shows that Methyl 2-bromo-4-methylpentanoate is playing an increasingly important role. we look forward to future research findings about 61837-46-5.
