These common heterocyclic compound, 13194-68-8, name is 4-Iodo-2-methylaniline, 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. name: 4-Iodo-2-methylaniline
General procedure: Aniline derivative (1 eq) was mixed with iced water and/or absolute EtOH (2 mL by mmol of reagent) and stirred at 0 C then hydrochloric acid 37% (4 eq) was added dropwise rapidly. Sodium nitrite (1.1 eq or 1.3 eq aniline substituent depending) was added solid or in solution (H2O/EtOH 1 M) and the reaction mixture was stirred at 0-2 C for 30 min. The solvent was removed carefully under reduced pressure without heating and can be used without further purification. 5-Amino-4-hydroxynaphtalene-2,7-disulfonic acid sodium salt (0.9 eq) was dissolved in iced water (5 mL by mmol of reagent) then pH was adjusted to 9 by adding 30% NaOH solution. The diazonium salt was added to the naphthalene moiety and pH maintained at 9 by addition of 10% NaOH solution. After complete addition of the diazonium salt to the 5-amino-4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid monosodium salt, stirring was maintained at 0 C for 2 h. Degraded diazonium was removed after extraction with EtOAc and water soluble diazo compounds were recrystallized three times from EtOH/(H2O; pH 2) (1/1). All organic impurities were then extracted by washing with small portions of Et2O. The precipitated compounds were dried under vacuum.
The synthetic route of 4-Iodo-2-methylaniline has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
