Synthetic Route of 65868-63-5, 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. 65868-63-5, name is tert-Butyl 6-bromohexanoate belongs to esters-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
To a suspension of t-butyl 6-bromohexanoate (500 mg, 1.99 mmol) in hexamethylphosphoramide (10 ml) was added sodium acetate (180 mg, 2.19 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred overnight, diluted with ether, and washed with 1N aqueous hydrochloric acid (3*100 ml) and water and dried over magnesium sulfate to yield the desired diester (660 mg, 80% yield) whose structure was confirmed by NMR. The diester prepared above (1.52 g, 6.6 mmol) and ethylenediamine (539 mg, 3.82 mmol) were combined and heated to 100 C. for 2 hours. Additional ethylenediamine was added (1 equivalent) and the reaction was stirred at 100 C. for another 5 hours. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature, diluted with dichloromethane (75 ml), washed with water, saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, 10% aqueous citric acid, and water, and dried over magnesium sulfate to yield a clear oil (560 mg). NMR analysis indicated that about 20% of the diester remained. The oil was treated with additional ethylenediamine (600 mul) at 100 C. for 2 hours and at room temperature for 48 hours. The reaction mixture was diluted with dichloromethane (100 ml), washed with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate, 10% aqueous citric acid, and water, dried over magnesium sulfate, and concentrated in vacuo to yield the desired t-butyl 6-hydroxyhexanoate (640 mg) in 52% yield.
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, tert-Butyl 6-bromohexanoate, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
