Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 1,2-Difluoro-4-iodobenzene

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. 64248-58-4, name is 1,2-Difluoro-4-iodobenzene, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Application In Synthesis of 1,2-Difluoro-4-iodobenzene

General procedure: A vial was charged with 2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde (1.97 mmol, 300 mg), PdCl2 (5 mol%, 17.5 mg), 1,2-Difluoro-4-iodobenzene (2 equiv., 946.7 mg), Na2CO3 (2 equiv., 418.1 mg), LiCl (0.4 equiv., 16.7 mg), and DMF (19.7 mL, 0.1 M of the aldehyde), purged with N2 and stirred at 110 C 4-10 h. The reaction was monitored with LC-MS and TLC (TLC conditions: Aliquot was diluted with CH3OH, eluted with EtOAc/heptane 1:3, and stained with 2,4- dinitrophenylhydrazine solution). The reaction mixture was filtered over a pad of Celite, diluted with EtOAc, washed 3 times with water, and the aqueous layers was acidified and extracted twice with EtOAc. The combined organic layers was dried over Na2SO4, concentrated and purified on silica using EtOAc/Heptane 1:20 ? 1:9 step gradient) to afford 2′-hydroxybenzophenone in 69.3% yield. (NMR data is given in the supporting information).

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.
