With the rapid development and complex challenges of chemical substances, the synthesis of new drugs is usually one of the most effective ways to increase yield.7287-81-2, name is 1-(m-Tolyl)ethanol, molecular formula is C9H12O, molecular weight is 136.19, as common compound, the synthetic route is as follows.category: alcohols-buliding-blocks
A mixture of 1- (3-methylphenyl) ethanol (0.3 mg, 1.0 mmol), cat. [Ir] (5.3 mg, 0.01 mmol, 1 mol%) and tert-amyl alcohol (1 mL) were successively added to a 5 mL round bottom flask. The reaction mixture was refluxed in air for 6 hours and then cooled to room temperature. Then, cesium carbonate (33 mg, 0.1 mmol, 0.1 equiv.) And benzyl alcohol (119 mg, 1.1 mmol) were added, refluxed in air for 6 hours, and then cooled to room temperature. The solvent was removed by rotary evaporation and then the title compound was obtained by column chromatography (developing solvent: petroleum ether / ethyl acetate) in a yield of 88%
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound,7287-81-2, 1-(m-Tolyl)ethanol, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
