Electric Literature of 1829-28-3, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 1829-28-3, name is Ethyl 2-iodobenzoate belongs to iodides-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
General procedure: NaOtBu (98percent purity, 353 mg, 3.6 mmol) was dried by a vacuum pump for 30 min at room temperature. To a solution of NaOtBu in THF (3 mL) was added DIBAL-H (1.04 M, 3.27 mL, 3.4 mmol) at 0 °C under argon atmosphere and the obtained mixture was stirred for 1 h at room temperature. Then, ethyl benzoate (150.06 mg, 2.0 mmol) in THF (4 mL) was added to the solution at 0 °C, and the obtained mixture was stirred for 4 h. Finally, aq NH3 (concentration: 28.0percent-30.0percent, 4 mL) and I2 (2.08 g, 4.1 equiv) were added at 0 °C, and the obtained mixture was stirred for 3 h at room temperature. Then the reaction mixture was poured into saturated aq Na2SO3 solution (10 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (15 mL.x.3). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4 and filtered. After removal of the solvent under reduced pressure, the residue was treated with flash short column chromatography on silica gel (eluent: hexane/ethyl acetate=9:1) to afford benzonitrile (156.7 mg, 76percent yield)
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, Ethyl 2-iodobenzoate, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
