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. 623-50-7, name is Ethyl 2-hydroxyacetate, molecular formula is C4H8O3, 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. SDS of cas: 623-50-7
A solution of ethyl glycolate (500 mg, 4.8 mmol) and tosyl chloride (915 mg, 4.8 mmol) in anhydrous diethyl ether (2 ml) at 0 0C was treated dropwise with triethylamine (1.34 ml, 9.6 mmol). The temperature was maintained at 0 0C with stirring for a further 2 h. After this time, water was added and the phases separated. The aqueous phase was extracted with fresh diethyl ether. The combined organic extracts were dried (MgSO4), filtered and the solvent removed in vacuo. The crude product was purified by column chromatography over silica gel (Rf=0.29, 25% ethyl acetate in hexane) affording the tosylate 2 as a colorless oil which solidified on standing as a white solid (868 mg, 70%). [This procedure was repeated on 2 x scale (1.8 g, 73%)]. deltaH (400 MHz, CDCl3) 1.22-1.27 (3H, m, CH3), 2.46 (3H, s, ArCH3), 4.16-4.22 (2H, m, CH2CH3), 4.58-4.59 (2H, m, OCH2), 7.36 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz, ArH), 7.84 (2H, d, J=8.2 Hz, ArH); deltac (100.6 MHz, CDCl3) 14.2, 21.9, 62.1, 64.9, 128.3,130.1, 132.9, 145.5, 166.2; MS (ES+) 276.0 (100%, [M+H20]+) (ion not detected in ES’).
With the rapid development of chemical substances, we look forward to future research findings about 623-50-7.
