Brief introduction of 2-Iodobenzoic 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-Iodobenzoic acid, its application will become more common.

Reference of 88-67-5,Some common heterocyclic compound, 88-67-5, name is 2-Iodobenzoic acid, molecular formula is C7H5IO2, 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: To a stirred solution of carboxylic acid (1.0 eq.) in ethanol (2 M) was added thionyl chloride (2.0 eq.) dropwise at room temperature, and then refluxed for 2 hours. After it was cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was concentrated under reduced pressure to give crude product, which was chromatographed on silica gel column using 1:30 (v/v) EtOAc-petroleum ether solution as eluent to afford isolated product esters in 80% – 95% yields. Esters (1.0 eq.) were added dropwise to a stirred solution of acetonitrile (2.0 eq.) and NaH (3.0 eq.) in THF (2 M) at room temperature, and then refluxed for 1h . After it was cooled to room temperature, Water was added dropwise to the reaction mixture under ice bath until no gas bubbles generated, and employing dilute hydrochloric acid neutralization to neutral, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give crude product which was chromatographed on silica gel column using 1:4 to 1:2 (v/v) EtOAc-petroleum ether solution as eluent to afford isolated product beta-ketonitriles, white or light yellow solid compounds in 50% – 85% yields. Finally, stirred in concentrated sulfuric acid (3 M) at room temperature for 5 to 10 hours. The reaction mixture was neutralized to neutral by ammonia water, extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over magnesium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo to give crude product which was chromatographed on silica gel column using 1:1 to 2:1 (v/v) EtOAc-petroleum ether solution as eluent to afford isolated product beta-ketoamides 1a-p, white solid compounds in 45% – 85% yields.

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