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. 25542-62-5, name is Ethyl 6-bromohexanoate, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., category: esters-buliding-blocks
Anhydrous LiCl (1.14 g, 26.89 mmol) was dried in a reaction tube at 160 C. for 20 min under high vacuum. Zn powder (1.75 g, 26.89 mmol) was added under argon and the mixture was dried again at 160 C. under high vacuum. The reaction tube was evacuated and filled with argon three times. THF (15 mL) was added and the Zn was activated with 1,2-dibromoethane (0.06 mL, 0.67 mmol) and TMSCl (0.017 mL, 0.13 mmol). Ethyl 6-bromohexanoate (3 g, 13.45 mmol) was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at 55 C. overnight. The solution 1 was carefully separated from excess zinc using a dry syringe. 3-bromobenzaldehyde (1.5 g, 8.1 mmol) was dissolved in THF (5 mL). Pd2(dba)3 (0.074 g, 0.08 mmol) and t-Bu3P (0.162 mL, 0.162 mmol, 1M) was added. The solution of the organozincate compound 1 in THF (1.5 equivalent) was added to the reaction. The mixture was stirred for 30 min at it (room temperature) and then quenched with NH4Cl (aq. sat.: aqueous saturated solution). The mixture was extracted with Et2O. The combined organic phase was dried, concentrated and purified by flash chromatography to give the ester 2 (1.95 g, 7.858 mmol, 97%). 1H NMR (250 MHz, CDCl3): delta=9.96 (s, 1H), 7.60-7.72 (m, 2H), 7.37-7.46 (m, 2H), 4.08 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H), 2.66 (t, J=7.5 Hz, 2H), 2.26 (t, J=7.4 Hz, 2H), 1.56-1.71 (m, 4H), 1.26-1.42 (m, 2H), 1.21 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H); HRMS (EI+): [M]+ calculated for C15H20O3, 248.1412. found 248.1413.
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.
