Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 15963-40-3, name is Methyl 3-methylenecyclobutanecarboxylate, belongs to esters-buliding-blocks compound, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 15963-40-3, Application In Synthesis of Methyl 3-methylenecyclobutanecarboxylate
To a methyl acetate (45 mL) solution of methyl 3-methylenecyclobutanecarboxylate (Intermediate 43A) was added copper powder (2.77 g, 43.6 mmol) and zinc powder (5.70 g, 87 mmol). To this mixture was added a methyl acetate (45 mL) solution of 2,2,2-trichloroacetyl chloride (4.86 mL, 43.6 mmol) and phosphorus oxychloride (0.37 mL, 4.0 mmol) dropwise over 2 h. After 3 h, the reaction was cooled to 0 C, and additional zinc powder (5.70 g, 87 mmol) was added, followed by acetic acid (22.7 mL, 400 mmol) dropwise at a rate keeping the temperature below 7 C. The reaction was allowed to slowly warm to room temperature and after stirring overnight was filtered through Celite, rinsing with EtOAc. The filtrate was carefully washed (warning: gas evolution) with saturated aqueous NaHC03 (2 X 200 mL), and the aqueous layers extracted with 1 :1 EtOAc:Et20 (2 X 100 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over MgS04, filtered and concentrated, and the residue purified on silica gel eluting with a 0%-50% EtOAc-hexanes gradient. The appropriate fractions were combined, evaporated under reduced pressure and placed in vacuo to give the title compound (4.10 g, 61 %) as a yellow oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI3) delta 2.38-2.48 (m, 2 H), 2.50-2.61 (m, 2 H), 3.00- 3.09 (m, 2 H), 3.09-3.22 (m, 3 H), 3.68 (s, 3 H).
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, Methyl 3-methylenecyclobutanecarboxylate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
