New downstream synthetic route of Methyl 2-hydroxyacetate

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,96-35-5, its application will become more common.

Reference of 96-35-5, In the chemical reaction process,reaction time,type of solvent,can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product.An updated downstream synthesis route of 96-35-5 as follows.

To a suspension of KOtBu (996.6 mg, 8.881 mmol) in THF (640.4 mg, 8.881 mmol) cooled to 0 C was added dropwise methyl 2-hydroxyacetate (675.7 mu, 8.881 mmol) and stirred for 10 minutes. The acrylonitrile (589.1 mu, 8.881 mmol) was then added and the reaction stirred at ambient temperature. After 3 hours, the reaction was diluted with H20 (50 mL), then extracted with Et20 (25 mL) to remove any starting ester. The basic aqueous phase was acidified with 2M HCl (5 mL), then extracted with Et20 (2 x 50 mL). The combined organic phases were dried with MgS04, filtered, and concentrated to afford a light brown oil (446 mg, 45.2% yield).
