The important role of 5-Bromo-2-iodo-m-xylene

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 206559-43-5, its application will become more common.

Some common heterocyclic compound, 206559-43-5, name is 5-Bromo-2-iodo-m-xylene, molecular formula is C8H8BrI, 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: C8H8BrI

2.5 M n-Butyllithium, in tetrahydrofuran, (1.42 ml, 3.54 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) was added dropwise to a solution of bromobenzene (0.34 ml, 3.22 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in dry tetrahydrofuran (18 ml), under nitrogen at -78 C. and the mixture stirred for 30 minutes. Zinc chloride (0.48 g, 3.54 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) was added and the mixture allowed to warm to room temperature while stirring for 2 hours. Palladium tetrakistriphenylphosphine (0.19 g, 0.16 mmol, 0.05 equiv.) and a solution of 5-bromo-2-iodo-1,3-dimethyl-benzene (1.00 g, 3.22 mmol, 1.0 equiv.) in tetrahydrofuran (2 ml) were added and the mixture stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. The tetrahydrofuran was evaporated under reduced pressure and the crude product purified by column chromatography (SiO2, heptane). The fractions were combined to afford 4-bromo-2,6-dimethylbiphenyl, 278 mg (33% yield) as a clear oil deltaH (400 MHz; d4-methanol) 7.28-7.39 (3H, m), 7.18 (2H, s), 7.03 (2H, d), 1.90 (6H, s).

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 206559-43-5, its application will become more common.
