Discovery of 2-Bromo-5-iodobenzoic acid

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 2-Bromo-5-iodobenzoic acid, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 25252-00-0 name is 2-Bromo-5-iodobenzoic acid, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below. 25252-00-0

To a solution of 2-bromo-5- iodobenzoic acid (11.4 g, 34.8 mmol) in dichloromethane (140 mL) was added methanol (17 mL) followed by trimethylsilyldiazomethane solution (2M in hexanes, 19.2 mL, 38.4 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for twelve hours, quenched by the dropwise addition of acetic acid (5 mL) and thoroughly concentrated. The resulting residue was dissolved in tetrahydrofuran. To this solution was added diisobutylaluminum hydride solution (1M in DCM, 50 mL, 50 mmol) and the reaction was stirred at room temperature. After sixteen hours, more diisobutylaluminum hydride solution (1M in DCM, 50 mL, 50 mmol) was added. After 96 more hours at room temperature the reaction was diluted with ether (100 mL) and quenched by the sequential addition of water (4 mL), 15% aqueous NaOH solution (4 mL) and water (10 mL). After thirty minutes the mixture was filtered through Celite and the filtrate was concentrated. The resulting residue was dissolved in dimethylformamide (75 mL). To this solution was added imidazole (6.1 g, 89.6 mmol) and r-butyldimethylchlorosilane (6.8 g, 45.1 mmol). The reaction was stirred at room temperature for two hours and then diluted with ethyl acetate. The organics were washed with saturated aqueous NH4CI solution, water and brine. The organic layer was dried (MgS04) and concentrated, and the resulting residue was purified by flash column chromatography to yield (2-bromo-5-iodobenzyloxy)-(tert-butyl)dimethylsilane (9.2 g, 62%).
