The important role of Methyl 3-iodobenzoate

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.

Electric Literature of 618-91-7, A common heterocyclic compound, 618-91-7, name is Methyl 3-iodobenzoate, molecular formula is C8H7IO2, 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.

General procedure: A mixture ofmethyl 3-iodobenzoate (1 mmol), corresponding amine (3 mmol), K2CO3(4 mmol), CuI (0.2 mmol) and L-proline (0.4 mmol) in 15 mL of DMSO was heatedat 60 C for 8 h. The cooled mixture was pour into 150 ml water, and extractedwith ethyl acetate (3 × 15 mL), the organic fractions were combined, washedwith saturated brine (2 × 15 ml) prior to drying over anhydrous sodium sulfate.After filtration and concentrate using a rotary evaporator, the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatographyusing a mixture of petroleum ether/ethyl acetate (20 : 1, v/v) as eluent toafford the desired product.

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.
