As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 55489-58-2, name is 2-(2-(2-(Benzyloxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol, molecular formula is C13H20O4, The compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below. HPLC of Formula: C13H20O4
15-Bromo-1 -phenyl-2,5,8,11-tetraoxapentadecane To a suspension of sodium hydride, 60 % w/w in mineral oil (0.250 g, 6.24 mmol) in DMF (2 mL) was added a solution of 2-(2-(2-(benzyloxy)ethoxy)ethoxy)ethanol (1 g, 4.16 mmol) (commercially available from for example Fluorochem) in DMF (2 mL) at 0 C. After stirring for 25 minutes, 1,4-dibromobutane (commercially available from for example Aldrich) (4.04 g, 18.73 mmol) dissolved in DMF (2 mL) was added dropwise to the mixture. The reaction was stirred under an atmosphere of nitrogen for 2.5 hours. A further aliquot of sodium hydride, 60 % w/w in mineral oil (0.250 g, 6.24 mmol) was added and the reaction was stirred at 0 C for 30 minutes. The reaction was warmed to room temperature and stirred for 30 minutes. A final aliquot of sodium hydride, 60 % w/w in mineral oil (0.250 g, 6.24 mmol) was added and the reaction stirred at room temperature for 2 hours then left standing over the weekend. The reaction mixture was filtered through celite and the solid washed with DCM. The filtrate was partitioned between DCM (30 mL) and water (30 mL). The organic extract was washed with brine (2 x 30 mL), dried using a hydrophobic frit and concentrated under reduced pressure. The product was purified by chromatography on silica using a gradient elution from 0% to 100% methyl tert-butyl ether in cyclohexane to afford the title compound (711 mg, 1.89 mmol, 46% yield). LCMS RT= 1.16 min, ES+ve m/z 375.2/377.1 [M+H]+.
With the rapid development of chemical substances, we look forward to future research findings about 55489-58-2.
