The important role of 2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid, its application will become more common.

Reference of 52548-14-8,Some common heterocyclic compound, 52548-14-8, name is 2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid, molecular formula is C8H7IO2, 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 solution of 2-iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid (4.0 g, 15.3 mmol) in DMF (10 mL) was treated with 1 ,2,3-triazole (2.1 g, 30.5 mmol), CsCO3 (9.95 g, 30.5 mmol), CuI (0.145 g, 0.76 mmol) and trans-N,N’-dirnethylcyclohexane-l,2-diamine (0.43 g, 3.05 mmol). The mixture was heated at 120 0C for 10 min in a microwave reactor. The reaction was cooled to rt, diluted with water, and washed with EtOAc. The aqueous phase was acidified with IN HCl and extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by gradient elution on SiO2 (0 to 50% EtOAc in water with 0.1% TFA) to give the desired A-3. A portion of this acid (0.1 1 g, 0.53 mmol) was treated with thionyl chloride (0.59 g, 5.3 mmol) in dichloromethane (5.0 mL) at rt. After stirring at RT for 1 h, the mixture was concentrated, azeotroping with benzene to yield acid chloride A-3.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid, its application will become more common.
