Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of (4-Phenoxyphenyl)methanol

In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles. 2215-78-3, (4-Phenoxyphenyl)methanol, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.

Related Products of 2215-78-3 ,Some common heterocyclic compound, 2215-78-3, molecular formula is C13H12O2, its 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.

First, 2-amino-6-methylnicotinic acid (3.04 g) was suspended in m-xylene (20 mL), potassium carbonate (4.15 g) was added thereto, followed by stirring for 30 minutes at 40 C. to obtain Solution 1. On the other hand, (4-phenoxyphenyl)methanol (4.00 g) was dissolved in m-xylene (7 mL), thionyl chloride (1.46 mL) was added dropwise at ice-cold temperature, followed by stirring for 30 minutes while returning to the room temperature. Then, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide and thionyl chloride in the system were evaporated, Solution 1 was added, tetrabutylammonium bromide (194 mg) was added, followed by stirring under heating for 4 hours at 110 C. The reaction solution was cooled to room temperature and about 95% of m-xylene was evaporated under reduced pressure. Ice water was added to the residue, followed by stirring for 30 minutes at room temperature. The precipitated crystal was collected by filtration and dried and 6.39 g (yield of 95.7%, volume efficiency of 25%) of the target substance (compound 2 described in Table 1) was obtained.

In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles. 2215-78-3, (4-Phenoxyphenyl)methanol, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
