Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 6240-11-5

The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis 6240-11-5, I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.

6240-11-5, In the chemical reaction process,reaction time,type of solvent,can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product.An updated downstream synthesis route of 6240-11-5 as follows.

In a 1 L round bottom flask equipped with a reflux condenser, 126.20 g (0.70 mol) of 2- (1-adamantyl) ethanol was added while 164 g of concentrated sulfuric acid and 200 g (48% aqueous solution) of hydrobromic acid were cooled in an ice bath, . The mixture was refluxed for 6 hours, cooled to room temperature and then added to 400 g of ice. The aqueous phase was extracted with 400 ml of pentane. The organic phase was washed with 2 M NaOH solution and water, dried over magnesium sulfate and the solvent was removed in vacuo. The product was distilled in vacuo to give 153.2 g (90%) of (1- (2-bromo-ethyl) -adamantane as a colorless oil.

The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis 6240-11-5, I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
