Electric Literature of 541-16-2, A common heterocyclic compound, 541-16-2, name is Di-tert-Butyl malonate, molecular formula is C11H20O4, 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.

General procedure: A mixture of 2-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)acetonitrile (5 mmol), ditert-butyl malonate (3 mmol), and Fe(ClO4)3·H2O (5 mol%) wasplaced in a round-bottomed flask. Then, the reaction mixturewas heated at 80 C for 5 h. After completion of the reactionmonitored by thin layer chromatography (TLC), water (10 mL)was added and the reaction mixture was extracted with ethylacetate (3 × 20 mL). The organic layers were collected, combined,washed with water (3 × 20 ml), dried over anhydrousNa2SO4, and concentrated under vacuum. The pure product wasobtained by directly passing through a silica gel (200-300mesh) column to give a white powder 1m (1.08 g, 84% yield).Compound 1m1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): delta = 7.41-7.35 (m, 2 H), 7.12-7.10 (m,1 H), 5.31 (s, 1 H), 3.40 (s, 2 H), 1.32 (s, 9 H) ppm. 13C NMR (100MHz, CDCl3): delta = 168.9, 135.6, 132.7, 131.2, 131.2, 130.6, 128.6,51.6, 43.5, 28.7 ppm. HRMS: m/z calcd for C12H15Cl2NO [M + H]+:259.0531; found: 259.0533.

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.
