Application of 331779-03-4, These common heterocyclic compound, 331779-03-4, name is Ethyl 2-(4-bromophenyl)acrylate, 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.
General procedure: To a solution of ester (20 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in toluene (40 mL) was addedparaformaldehyde (1.80 g, 60 mmol, 3.0 equiv), K2CO3 (8.29 g, 60 mmol, 3.0 equiv),n-Bu4NI (370.0 mg, 1.0 mmol, 0.05 equiv). The reaction mixture was heated to 60 Covernight. After the finish of reaction monitored by TLC, the reaction was cooled toroom temperature, water was added and the aqueous layer was extracted with Et2O(40 mL × 3). The combined organic layer was dried over anhydrous Na2SO4,concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was purified by column chromatographyto give the corresponding acrylate intermediate as a colorless oil. Then, a solution ofsubstituted amine (20 mmol, 2.0 equiv)in THF (13.0 mL) at 0C was added a solutionof corresponding acrylate (10 mmol, 1.0 equiv) in THF (7.0 mL) via addition funnel.The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to ambient temperature then stirred atroom temperature for 24h, and concentrated under vacuum. The resulting residue waspurified by column chromatography to give the corresponding intermediate as a oil.Then to a solution of the oil in dichloromethane (20.0 mL) were added di-tert-butyldicarbonate (2.40 g, 11 mmol) and DMAP (122.0 mg, 1 mmol), and the mixture wasstirred at room temperature for 24h. Saturated aq. NH4Cl was added to the mixtureand the resulting mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. The combined organiclayer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated in vacuo.The resulting residue was purified by column chromatography to give thecorresponding intermediate as a colorless oil. Then to a solution of the resulting oil inTHF/H2O (5 mL/5 mL) was added LiOH (1.20 g, 50 mmol, 5 equiv). The reactionmixture was heated at 60 C overnight. After cooling to room temperature, thereaction was acidified using aqueous HCl (6 M), and the aqueous layer was extractedwith Et2O (20 mL × 3). The combined organic layer was washed with water and brine,dried over Na2SO4, and concentrated in vacuo to give the resulting product 4a-j as acolorless crystal, using for the next step without further purification.
The synthetic route of 331779-03-4 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
