Some common heterocyclic compound, 762-42-5, name is Dimethyl but-2-ynedioate, molecular formula is C6H6O4, 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. Formula: C6H6O4
General procedure: At room temperature, organic carbonyl acid 3 (R-COOH, 0.5 mmol) was added into a reaction tube equipped with a small magnet. Then a solution of tertiary amine 1 (R1CH2-NR2R3, 0.5 mmol ) in DCM (2.5 mL) was added dropwise in 2 min. After the mixture was stirred at room temperature for a few minutes, 1 equivalents of dimethyl acetylenedicarboxylate (DMAD, 2) was added. The reaction was stirred overnight at room temperature, and then monitored by TLC with silica gel coated plates. After being stirred for 14 h, the solvent was removed and the residue was purified by a flash column chromatography with silica gel with ethyl acetate/hexane (1:25-30) as eluent to give the desired products 4, 5, and 7. Most of compounds are known and confirmed by NMR, ESI-MS, IR.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 762-42-5, its application will become more common.
