Analyzing the synthesis route of 2-Fluoro-4-iodo-1-methylbenzene

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.

39998-81-7, Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 39998-81-7, name is 2-Fluoro-4-iodo-1-methylbenzene, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.

Methyl-2-fluoro-4-iodo benzoate (Reagent G) A solution of 2-fluoro-4-iodo toluene (5 g, 26.6 mmol) in pyridine (2 mL) and water (20 mL) was treated with potassium permanganate (16.6 g, 105 mmol) and heated at 150 C. overnight. The reaction mixture was then cooled to room temperature and filtered and the filtrate was extracted with hexane. The aqueous phase was acidified with 10% hydrochloric acid and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was dissolved in 20 mL of methanol, treated with concentrated sulfuric acid (1 mL) and refluxed overnight. The volatiles were distilled off in vacuo and the residue was dissolved in diethyl ether, washed with brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered and evaporated in vacuo to an oil. Flash column chromatography over silica gel (230-400 mesh) using 10% ethyl acetate in hexane as the eluent afforded the title compound as an oil (0.26 g, 5%). 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3):delta 7.60 (m, 4H), 3.93 (s, 3H).

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.
