Introduction of a new synthetic route about Methyl 2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoate

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.

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. 103440-52-4, name is Methyl 2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoate, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., 103440-52-4

In a dry Schlenk Tube at RT under nitrogen are successively charged 2-iodo-5- methylbenzoic acid methyl ester (13.765 mmol, 1 eq), Cul (2.753 mmol, 0.2 eq), CsF (27.529 mmol, 2 eq), 2-tributylstannylpyridine (20.647 mmol, 1.5 eq), Pd(PPh3)4 (1.376 mmol, 0.1 eq) and DMF (60 mL). The resulting suspension is stirred at 90C overnight. The obtained reaction mixture is diluted with EtOAc and filtered through a short pad of Celite. A solution of sat. aq. NaHC03 is then added to the filtrate and the aq. phase extracted with EtOAc (3 times). The combined organic layers are washed with H20 and brine, dried over Na2S04, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. Purification is achieved by FC (EtOAc/Heptane 1 :4 to 3:7) to give methyl 5-methyl-2-(pyridin-2-yl)benzoate (2.64 g) as a brown oil. LC-MS (conditions A): tR = 0.67 min, [M + 1 ]+ = 228.07.
