37746-78-4, A common compound: 37746-78-4, name is (E)-Ethyl 4-bromobut-2-enoate, belongs to esters-buliding-blocks compound, it can change the direction of chemical reaction, and react with certain compounds to generate new functional products. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.
General procedure: To a vigorously stirring solution of alpha-imino ester 1 (0.5 mmol,1 equiv) and E-ethyl-4-bromocrotonate or methyl-4-bromocrotonate (2, 1.5 mmol, 3 equiv) in EtOH (2 mL) was added indium powder (1 mmol, 2 equiv). The mixture was allowed to stir vigorously for 6 h at 30 C. After this period, the reaction mixturewas quenched with 2 mL of water and transferred to a separating funnel and extracted using ethyl acetate (315 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. Then the solvent was evaporated under vacuum. Purification of the resulting crude reaction mixture by column chromatography on silica gel (EtOAc/Hexane as eluent) gave the product 3 (see Tables 1 and 2 and Scheme 2 for individual entries).
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, (E)-Ethyl 4-bromobut-2-enoate, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
