The important role of Sodium 1,2-dihydroxyethane-1,2-disulfonate

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,517-21-5, its application will become more common.

Synthetic Route of 517-21-5, Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps,and cheap raw materials. 517-21-5, name is Sodium 1,2-dihydroxyethane-1,2-disulfonate. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.

Zinc powder (2.18 g, 33.4 mmol) was added to a mixture of 2-(benzo[1,2,5]thiadiazole-4-sulfonylamino)-4-cyano-benzoic acid methyl ester (1.25 g, 3.34 mmol) and ACOH (20 mL), and the resulting mixture was heated at 50 C. for 2 h with vigorous stirring. The mixture was filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth, rinsed with methanol, and concentrated to a yellow solid. This material was dissolved in methanol (15 mL) and added to a mixture of glyoxal sodium bisulfite adduct (2.70 g, 10.0 mmol), AcOH (0.9 mL), NaOAc (0.27 g, 3.3 mmol), and H2O (4.5 mL). The reaction was allowed to proceed at reflux for 3 h. The resulting mixture was diluted with DCM and filtered through a pad of diatomaceous earth, rinsing with DCM. The filtrate was washed with H2O, dried over MgSO4, concentrated, and purified by flash chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc) to provide the title compound (0.28 g, 23%). TLC (silica, 50% EtOAc/hexanes): Rf=0.13. MS (ESI): mass calculated for C17H12N4O4S, 368.1; m/z found, 367 [M-H]-. HPLC (reverse phase): RT=8.72 min. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): 11.42 (s, 1H), 8.96 (dd, J=4.4, 1.8 Hz, 2H), 8.63 (dd, J=7.4, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 8.36 (dd, J=8.5, 1.4 Hz, 1H), 8.16 (d, J=1.4 Hz, 1H), 7.97-7.90 (m, 2H), 7.20 (dd, J=8.2, 1.5 Hz, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H).

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,517-21-5, its application will become more common.
