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. 55954-25-1, name is Methyl 2-(2,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetate, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Application In Synthesis of Methyl 2-(2,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetate
General procedure: To a stirred solution of acid 9 (320 mg, 1.76 mmol) in CH2Cl2 (10 mL) under N2 atmosphere, DMF (one drop) and oxalyl chloride (0.23 mL, 2.6 mmol) were added. The mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature and then the solvent was removed under vacuum. The crude product acid chloride was directly used for the next reaction without further purification. A solution of compound 1114 (554 mg, 2.64 mmol) in THF (6 mL) was added at -78 C to a freshly prepared solution of LDA, prepared from n-BuLi (2.5 M in THF, 1.44 mL, 3.52 mmol) and i-Pr2NH (0.49 mL, 3.52 mmol) in THF (5 mL) at 0 C under N2 atmosphere. The thus produced yellowish anion was stirred at -78 C for 45 min and then a solution of crude acid chloride in THF (10 mL) was added drop wise. The reaction was stirred at the same temperature for another 45 min and then at room temperature for 4 h. 10% HCl (10 mL) was added to quench the reaction, THF was removed in vacuum and the water layer was extracted with ethyl acetate (2*50 mL). The organic layer was washed with water (2*20 mL), brine (20 mL), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The crude product was purified by silica gel column chromatography to get 12 (500 mg, 76%) as yellowish oily compound.
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.
