The origin of a common compound about Methyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2533-69-9, its application will become more common.

Some common heterocyclic compound, 2533-69-9, name is Methyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate, molecular formula is C3H4Cl3NO, 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. name: Methyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate

A solution of 3,4-dimethylbenzene-1,2-diamine (1.0 g, 7.34 mmol) in acetic acid (10 ml) was treated with methyl-2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate (1.0 ml, 8.07 mmol) and the resulting solution was left to stir at room temperature for 16 hours. The reaction mixture was poured onto ice (100 g) and then extracted with dichloromethane (100 ml). The organic phase was separated, dried (sodium sulfate) and the solvent removed in vacuo. The residue was triturated with diethyl ether and the title compound isolated by filtration (360 mg) as a brown solid. The material was used crude in the next step with no further characterization.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2533-69-9, its application will become more common.
