These common heterocyclic compound, 1070-64-0, name is Ethyl 6,8-dichlorooctanoate, its 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. name: Ethyl 6,8-dichlorooctanoate
1, 100 g (0.4mol) racemic Ethyl 6, 8-Dichlorooctanoic acid (95% industrial grade) is prepared first, and then treated with an alkali hydrolysis process so as to obtain (+/-)-DCA 80 g, to be dissolved into 300 ml ethyl acetate, followed by 24 g (0.2 mol) S-(-)-alpha-phenethylamine, afterwards, gradually cooled down to a temperature range between 0-10 C., overnight, filtered, and ultimately obtain 30 g wet (+)DCA S-(-)-alpha-phenethylamine salt. Afterwards, a recrystallization process is followed, wherein the (+)DCA-S-(-)-alpha-phenethylamine salt is dissolved in the ethyl acetate, and acidified with diluted hydrochloric acid, and extracted by methylbenzene, and distilled at low temperature to remove solvent, finally obtain 18.8 g (+)-DCA, [alpha]D25+48-49.6 with a yield rate from 42% to 46%.
The synthetic route of Ethyl 6,8-dichlorooctanoate has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
