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. 5445-17-0, name is Methyl 2-bromopropanoate, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Formula: C4H7BrO2
To a solution of E/Z mixture (5:1) of 2-propenylphenol (2.0 g, 14.9 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (30 mL) was added K2CO3 (2.68 g, 19.37 mmol) at 0 C. After stirring for 30 min at room temperature, methyl 2-bromopropionate (2.5 mL, 22.36 mmol) was added drop-wisely to the reaction mixture with a syringe. The reaction mixture was stirred for 10 h at room temperature, and poured into water (100 mL). The organic compounds were extracted with EtOAc (3 x 50 mL). The combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried (MgSO4), and concentrated under vacuum. Purification by silica gel chromatography (EtOAc/hexane=1/9, v/v) afforded the desired product as a colorless oil (3.34 g, 96%).
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.
