Electric Literature of 90347-66-3, A common heterocyclic compound, 90347-66-3, name is Methyl 3-iodo-4-methylbenzoate, molecular formula is C9H9IO2, 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.
To a round-bottom flask containing 3-iodo-4-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.38 g, 5.00 mmol), 4-cyanophenylboronic acid (1.10 g, 7.48 mmol), palladium acetate (168 mg, 0.748 mmol), 2-(dicyclohexylphosphino)biphenyl (0.526 g, 1.50 mmol) and potassium fluoride (0.870 g, 15.0 mmol) is added anhydrous 1,4-dioxane (15 ml). The flask is purged with argon and sealed. The mixture is stirred at 130 C. for 18 hours, cooled to ambient temperature and then water (20 ml) and ethyl acetate (20 ml) are added. Solid is removed under vacuum filtration. The filtrate is extracted with EtOAc (20 ml×2). The organic layers are combined, washed with aqueous HCl (5%, 20 ml) and saturated NaHCO3 (20 ml). It is dried over MgSO4, and concentrated. The residue is purified by silica gel column chromatography (EtOAc/Hexane, gradient) to give 4′-cyano-6-methyl-biphenyl-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester 2; LC-MS m/z: 252.1 (M+1).
The synthetic route of 90347-66-3 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
