Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of C7H10F2O4

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.

Synthetic Route of 680-65-9, A common heterocyclic compound, 680-65-9, name is Diethyl difluoromalonate, molecular formula is C7H10F2O4, 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.

Step 1: 2,2-difluoropropane-1,3-diol To a solution of diethyl difluoromalonate (3.77 g, 19.22 mmol) in THF (19.22 ml) at 0 C., was added Lithium Aluminium Hydride (1M in THF, 30.8 ml, 30.8 mmol) drop-wise. The reaction mixture was brought to ambient temperature and then stirred for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was then slowly poured onto an ice-cold suspension of 4 g of Na2SO4.10H2O in 20 mL of THF. This was stirred for 1 h and the resulting slurry was filtered, rinsed with 1:3 MeOH/EtOAc. The filtrate was collected and concentrated to give the title compound (1.7 g, 15.17 mmol, 79% yield) as a white paste.

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.
