Analyzing the synthesis route of 369-25-5

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, Methyl 3,4-difluorobenzoate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

Reference of 369-25-5, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 369-25-5 name is Methyl 3,4-difluorobenzoate, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.

A mixture of 4-bromo-3-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenol (7.1 g, 29 mmol, 1 eq), methyl 3,4-difluorobenzorate (5 g, 29 mmol, 1 eq), potassium carbonate (6 g, 43.5 mmol, 1.5 eq) in DMF (29 mL). Reaction was stirred at 100 C. over night. TLC showed that reaction was completed. After cooling to room temperature, the residue was removed by filtration. The residue was washed with EtOAc. The organics were combined and concentrated via Rota vapor. The residue was poured into EtOAc and water. The organic layers was separated and washed with brine and dried over sodium sulfate anhydrous. Filter and concentrated to get methyl 4-(4-bromo-3-(1,3-dioxolan-2-yl)phenoxy)-3-fluorobenzoate as crude, light brown oil, which was used for next step without purification.
