Electric Literature of 103440-52-4, A common heterocyclic compound, 103440-52-4, name is Methyl 2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoate, molecular formula is C9H9IO2, its 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.
General procedure: To a solution of methyl 2-iodobenzoate (5a) (262 mg, 1.00 mmol) and benzophenone (2a)(275 mg, 1.51 mmol, 1.51 equiv) dissolved in THF (5.0 mL) was slowly added(trimethylsilyl)methylmagnesium chloride (0.983 M, THF solution, 3.05 mL, 3.00 mmol,3.00 equiv) at room temperature. After stirring for 12 h at the same temperature, to themixture was added an aqueous saturated solution of ammonium chloride (10 mL). Themixture was extracted with EtOAc (10 mL ¡Á 3), and the combined organic extract waswashed with brine (5 mL), dried (Na2SO4), and after filtration, the filtrate was concentratedunder reduced pressure. The residue was purified by flash column chromatography (silica-gel16 g, n-hexane/EtOAc = 10/1) to give 3,3-diphenyl-3H-isobenzofuran-1-one (6a) (250 mg,0.873 mmol, 87.3%) as a colorless solid.
The synthetic route of 103440-52-4 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
