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. 2533-69-9, name is Methyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate belongs to chlorides-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. Safety of Methyl 2,2,2-trichloroacetimidate
General procedure: The thiol was placed in a dry round bottom flask and dissolved in anhydrous THF (or toluene) to a concentration of 0.2 M. The trichloroacetimidate (1.2 equiv) was then added and the reaction was warmed to reflux. After 18 hours the reaction was cooled to room temperature and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was then pre-adsorbed on silica gel and purified by column chromatography. Alternatively, the residue can be dissolved in ethyl acetate, washed with 2M aq. NaOH(3x), dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated (this workup removes the trichloroacetamide byproduct). Forsome sulfides this workup provided analytically pure material, in others the residue is purified by silicagel chromatography to provide the pure sulfide product.
The synthetic route of 2533-69-9 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
