Electric Literature of 23399-70-4, These common heterocyclic compound, 23399-70-4, name is 5-Chloro-2-iodotoluene, 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.
Intermediate 6: 2:1 Mixture of 2-(bromomethyl)-4-chloro-1-iodobenzene and 1- bromo-2-(bromomethyl)-4-chlorobenzene; Lambda/-bromosuccinimide (6.34 g, 35.6 mmol) was weighed into a flask and carbon tetrachloride (200 ml) was added followed by 4-chloro-1-iodo-2-methylbenzene (8.57 g, 33.9 mmol, Fluorochem Ltd). The reaction mixture was stirred and dibenzoyl peroxide (0.822 g, 3.39 mmol) was added in one portion. The apparatus was then flushed three times with nitrogen and heated to reflux with vigorous stirring. After approximately 46 h at reflux, the reaction was allowed to cool to room temperature. The reaction mixture was filtered to remove the insoluble material and washed with aqueous sodium sulfite solution. The carbon tetrachloride layer was dried over sodium sulfate and evaporated to give a crude product as a pale yellow oil which crystallised on standing. The crude product was triturated with cyclohexane. The white insoluble material (1.30 g) was retained. The soluble material was then loaded onto 50 g silica SPE (pre-conditioned with cyclohexane) and was eluted with cyclohexane. Two product batches were obtained from this purification. The slower running material was obtained as a clear liquid which crystallised on standing to give the title compounds as a 2:1 mixture of 2- (bromomethyl)-4-chloro-1-iodobenzene and 1-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)-4- chlorobenzene (1.99 g).The faster running material (2.07 g) was combined with the triturated material (1.30 g) and was re-purified on 50 g silica SPE eluting with cyclohexane, exactly as before. A second batch of the title compounds, again as a 2:1 of 2-(bromomethyl)-4-chloro-1- iodobenzene and 1-bromo-2-(bromomethyl)-4-chlorobenzene (2.38 g) was obtained; LCMS: (System 2) tRET = 1 -37 min (no ions detected).
Statistics shows that 5-Chloro-2-iodotoluene is playing an increasingly important role. we look forward to future research findings about 23399-70-4.
