The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis Methyl 4-(aminomethyl)benzoate. I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
Reference of 18469-52-8, Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 18469-52-8, name is Methyl 4-(aminomethyl)benzoate, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.
Commercially available methyl bromomethylbenzoate (manufactured by Aldrich Corporation) (10.0 g) was dissolved in DMF (100 ml), and the solution was added with potassium phthalimide (manufactured by Tokyo Kasei Kogyo Co., Ltd.) (9.70 g) and the whole was stirred at room temperature for 1.5 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solution was concentrated and added with water, followed by extraction with chloroform. The resultant was washed with a saturated saline solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off, thereby obtaining a white solid (12.9 g). Subsequently, 7.56 g of the solid was dissolved in methanol (100 ml), and the solution was added with hydrazine monohydrate (manufactured by Nacalai Tesque, Inc.) (6.25 ml) and the whole was stirred at 60C for 1.5 hours. After completion of the reaction, the precipitated solid was filtrated out and the solvent was distilled off. The resultant was added with water and subjected to extraction with chloroform. The resultant was washed with a 0.3 mol/l sodium hydroxide aqueous solution and a saturated saline solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and the solvent was distilled off. Methanol (120 ml) and 2-imidazole carboxaldehyde (manufactured by Aldrich Corporation) (2.35 g) were added to the resultant and the whole was stirred at room temperature for 2 days. After completion of the reaction, the precipitated solid was filtrated out. The liquid layer was concentrated and evaporated to dryness, and washing was performed by adding anhydrous methanol (30 ml). Then, the solid was filtrated out. The resultant solid and the solid that had been previously filtrated out were suspended in methanol (86 ml), and sodium borohydride (1.42 g) was added under ice-cooling. The solution was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour, and the solvent was distilled off. After addition of water, extraction was performed with chloroform, and the organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, followed by concentration under reduced pressure and drying, thereby obtaining a colorless oily substance (4.32 g). 4.28 g of the oily substance was dissolved in DMF (65 ml), and the solution was added with di-t-butyldicarbonate (8.90 ml) and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off, and the residue was dissolved in chloroform, followed by washing with a saturated saline solution. After drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, the solvent was distilled off, and THF (43 ml), methanol (43 ml), and a 1 mol/l sodium hydroxide aqueous solution (43 ml) were added to the resultant, followed by stirring at room temperature for 14 hours. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off, and water (5.0 ml) was added to the resultant. Further, 1 mol/l hydrochloric acid was carefully added to the solution, and the acid-precipitate was filtrated out and dried, thereby obtaining the subject compound (4.87 g) as a white solid.
