Reference of 25309-64-2,Some common heterocyclic compound, 25309-64-2, name is 1-Ethyl-4-iodobenzene, molecular formula is C8H9I, 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.

A 250 mL 3 -neck round bottom flask equipped with a thermometer and a magnetic stirring bar was charged with 4.01 g (61.3 mmol) of zinc dust and 35 mL of dimethylformamide (DMF) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The slurry was treated with 0.56 g (2.2 mmol) of iodine. The red disappeared in 90 seconds. The reaction mixture was treated with 6.00 mL (8.18 g, 42.0 mmol) of ethyl 4-bromobutyrate and heated to 800C for 4 hour. The reaction mixture was cooled to 300C and treated with 4.98 g (21.5 mmol) of 4-iodoethylbenzene and 0.48 g (0.9 mmol) of dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)nickel(II). The reaction mixture was heated to 45C for 80 hours. The cooled reaction mixture was treated with aqueous 4% hydrochloric acid to quench the excess zinc. The mixture was extracted with methyl t-butyl ether (MTBE) (1 X 60 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine (1 X 30 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated. The crude ethyl 4-(4-ethylphenyl)butyrate was taken up in ethanol, treated with 20 mL of 2N aqueous sodium hydroxide, and heated to reflux. After 4 hours the reaction mixture was cooled to 25C and washed with MTBE (2 X 30 mL). The aqueous phase was acidified with aqueous 4% hydrochloric acid. A solid was isolated by filtration to give 1.99 g of 4-(4-ethylphenyl)butanoic acid. IH NMR (d6- DMSO): delta 11.9, bs, IH (COOH); delta 6.98, d, 2H, (arylH’s); delta 6.95, d, 2H (arylH’s); delta 2.41, m, 4H, (CH2’s alpha to aryl); delta 2.07, t, 2H (CH2 alpha to COOH); delta 1.64, m, 2H (CH2 beta to both aryl and COOH); delta 1.03, t, 3H (CH3). 13C NMR (d6-DMSO): 174.23, 141.08, 138.67, 128.20, 127.65, 33.97, 33.03, 27.73, 26.35, 15.65.
