Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 50638-46-5

The synthetic route of 4-Bromo-3-chloroanisole has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Reference of 50638-46-5, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 50638-46-5, name is 4-Bromo-3-chloroanisole belongs to chlorides-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.

Under an argon atmosphere, 1-bromo-2-chloro-4-methoxybenzene (44.3 g) was dissolved in toluene (220 ml), ethyl 2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate (60.8 g), water (132 ml), sodium hydrogen carbonate (33.6 g) and dichlorobis(triphenylphosphine)palladium(II) (2.8 g) were added, and the mixture was stirred at an oil bath temperature of 120 C. for 7 hr. To the reaction mixture was added ethyl 2-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl[1,3,2]dioxaborolan-2-yl)benzoate (5.2 g), and the mixture was further stirred for 2 hr. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, toluene (100 ml) and water (200 ml) were added, and the mixture was stirred overnight. To the reaction mixture was added activated carbon (3 g), and the mixture was further stirred for 1 hr. The insoluble material was filtered off through Celite, and the insoluble material was washed with toluene (100 ml) and water (200 ml). The obtained filtrates were combined to allow for layer separation. The obtained organic layer was washed with water (100 ml), and the solvent was evaporated to give the title compound (67.7 g). 1H-NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-D6) delta: 7.88-7.86 (1H, m), 7.63 (1H, td, J=7.6, 1.4 Hz), 7.51 (1H, td, J=7.6, 1.4 Hz), 7.27 (1H, dd, J=7.6, 0.9 Hz), 7.18 (1H, d, J=8.6 Hz), 7.06 (1H, d, J=2.6 Hz), 6.95 (1H, dd, J=8.6, 2.6 Hz), 4.01 (2H, m), 3.80 (3H, s), 0.96 (3H, t, J=7.1 Hz).

The synthetic route of 4-Bromo-3-chloroanisole has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
