Electric Literature of 108078-14-4,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.
Thionyl chloride [5 mL] was added to 2-iodo-3-methyl-benzoic acid (2.00 g, 7.63 mmol) at room temperature and heated to 50oC for 1 hour. The solution was then cooled and evaporated. The crude residue was dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with brine and dried with magnesium sulfate. The crude product was then dissolved in THF [5 mL] and a 1M solution of lithium aluminum hydride [10.7 mL] was added at room temperature and stirred for 1 hour. Water [0.1 mL] and 15% NAOH [0.1 mL] were added followed by evaporation. Column chromatography (50% EtOAc in hexanes) of the residue yielded the title compound (0.50 g, 26 %) as a SOLID. 1H-NMR (CDCL3) : delta 3.20 (t, 2H, J=7. 6 Hz), 2.98 (s, 3H), 2.52 (t, 2H, J=7.2 Hz), 2.09 (m, 2H).
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-3-methylbenzoic acid, its application will become more common.
