Electric Literature of 175278-29-2,Some common heterocyclic compound, 175278-29-2, name is Methyl 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate, molecular formula is C9H9FO2, 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 methyl 3-bromo-2-methylbenzoate (500 mg, 3.3 mmol), NBS (770.4 mg, 4.3 mmol), and di-benzoyl peroxide (BPO, 80.7 mg, 0.3 mmol) in 1,2-dichloroethane (10 mL) was heated at 80 C for 12 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the precipitated solid was removed by filtration and washed with ethers (10 mL). The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was partitioned between 2 N NaHCO3 (15 mL) and ethers (15 mL). The organic layer was separated, dried over NaSO4, filtered and concentrated to give a crude product (683.2 mg, 89.6%), which was used in the next step reaction without further purification.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route Methyl 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate, its application will become more common.
