Electric Literature of 6942-39-8,Some common heterocyclic compound, 6942-39-8, name is Methyl 2-bromo-5-fluorobenzoate, molecular formula is C8H6BrFO2, 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.
a) 2-Bromo-5-dimethylamino-benzoic acid methyl ester (16a) To a stirred solution of 5,24 g (22.5 mmol) 2-Bromo-5-fluoro-benzoic acid methyl ester (Rarechemicals) and 60.0 ml dimethylsulphoxid are added 2.23 g (27.0 mmol) dimethylamine hydrochloride and 6.54 g (47.3 mmol) potassium carbonate. The reaction mixture is stirred for 11h at 70C in an autoclave and is concentrated with high vacuum rotation evaporator at 65C. The residue is diluted with dichloromethane, washed twice with water. The combined water phases are extracted with dichloromethane. The combined dichloromethane phases are washed with diluted sodium hydrogen carbonate solution, dried with sodium sulphate and concentrated. The oily crude is purified by column chromatography and the desired product 16a is obtained in 70 % yield (4,08 g, 15.8 mmol). MS-ESI: 258/560 (M+ +1, 90/81).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route Methyl 2-bromo-5-fluorobenzoate, its application will become more common.
