In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 2876-78-0, name is Methyl 1-Naphthaleneacetate belongs to esters-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. name: Methyl 1-Naphthaleneacetate
Methylmagnesium bromide (3 M in ether, 10 mL, 30 mmol) was added dropwise to a solution of methyl naphthalene-1-acetate (2.0 g, 10 mmol) in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL) at 0 C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. After stirring at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixtures was quenched by the addition of water. The organic fraction was washed with brine, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum to give crude 2-methyl-1-(naphthalene-1-yl)propan-2-ol (2.0 g) as a yellow oil, which was used directly in the next step.The crude alcohol (2.0 g, 10 mmol) was dissolved in acetonitrile (10 mL) and concentrated sulfuric acid (4.9 g, 50 mmol) was added dropwise at 0 C. After stirring at room temperature for 2 hours, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organic fractions were dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated. The residue was purified by silical gel column chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate) to give N-(2-methyl-1-(naphthalene-1-yl)propan-2-yl)acetamide (0.90 g, 37% yield) as a yellow solid.Concentrated hydrochloric acid (10 mL) was added to a solution of the intermediate acetamide (0.20 g, 0.83 mmol) in dioxane (2 mL) and the resulting mixture was refluxed for 3 days. After cooling to room temperature, the reaction mixture was basified to pH 9 by the addition of solid sodium bicarbonate. The mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate and the combined organic fractions were dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated to give crude 2-methyl-1-(naphthalene-1-yl)propan-2-amine (0.15 g, 23% yield) as a yellow oil, which was used without further purification.The crude amine (153 mg, 0.25 mmol), compound 1 (48 mg, 0.13 mmol) and potassium carbonate (36 mg, 0.25 mmol) were taken up in dioxane (2 mL) and heated to reflux overnight. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum and the residue was purified by prep-HPLC to give compound A27 (16 mg, 23% yield) as a white solid: >99.5% purity (HPLC); MS m/z: 530.3 (M+1); 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) delta 8.29 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 8.15 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 7.88 (d, J=6.5 Hz, 2H), 7.77 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.56 (t, JHF=54.0 Hz, 1H), 7.48 (m, 2H), 7.39 (m, 3H), 7.27 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 5.29 (s, 1H), 4.02-3.73 (m, 8H), 3.66 (s, 2H), 1.54 (s, 6H) ppm
The synthetic route of 2876-78-0 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
