Sources of common compounds: Ethyl 2-bromo-3-methylbutanoate

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.

Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 609-12-1, name is Ethyl 2-bromo-3-methylbutanoate, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., SDS of cas: 609-12-1

A mixture of 10 g commercially available ethyl-2-bromo isovalerate and 17.8 g sodium iodide in 150 ml acetone are heated to reflux over night. The solvent is removed under reduced pressure. Dichloromethane is added to the residue and the solution is washed with an aqueous solution (10 %) of sodium thiosulfate and brine. The organic layer is dried and the solvent is removed under reduced pressure. 11.34 g (93 %) of the title compound are obtained as a yellowish oil. MS: m/z (M+) = 255.9

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.
