Some common heterocyclic compound, 108078-14-4, name is 2-Iodo-3-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. HPLC of Formula: C8H7IO2
General procedure: A mixture of 2-iodo-5-methylbenzoic acid (2a; 0.2 mmol, 1equiv), styrene 1a (0.8 mmol, 4 equiv) and NaHCO3 (0.26 mmol,1.3 equiv) in DMSO (4 mL) was put into a quartz reaction tube(10 mL). N2 was flowed in for 10 min, then the tube was sealed and exposed to illumination with a high-pressure mercury lamp at 300 nm wavelength for 6 h. Water (20 mL) was added tothe reaction system and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (3 × 20 mL). The organic phase was washed with saturated salt water, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and thecrude products were obtained under reduced pressure and concentration.The purified products were purified by silica gel column chromatography (PE/EtOAc, 10:1), and the product 7-methyl-3-phenylisochroman-1-one 3a (75%) was obtained as apale-yellow liquid.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 108078-14-4, its application will become more common.
