A new synthetic route of (3-Bromo-2-methylphenyl)methanol

The synthetic route of 83647-43-2 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Reference of 83647-43-2 , The common heterocyclic compound, 83647-43-2, name is (3-Bromo-2-methylphenyl)methanol, molecular formula is C8H9BrO, 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.

To a fiask charged with (3-bromo-2- methylphenyl)methanol (6.0 g, 30 mmol) was added a lM TFA solution of thallium trifluoroacetate (16.2 g, 29.8 mmol). The mixture was stirred at RT oyernight. Analysis by TLC showed no starting material remaining. The solyent was remoyed under yacuum, and the residuewas pumped under high yacuum for 30 min to ensure complete remoyal of TFA. To the residue was then added palladium(II) chloride (529 mg, 2.98 mmol), lithium chloride (2.53 g, 59.7 mmol), magnesium oxide (2.41 g, 59.7 mmol), and MeOH (150 mL). The reaction was flushed with CO twice, and kept under CO at room temperature. Analysis by LC showed a big product spot within 2 hours. To this solution was added ethyl acetate to precipitate the salts. The blaeksolution was filtered through a CELITE pad, washed with EtOAc, adsorbed onto silica and purified by silica gel chromatography to afford title compound. 1H-NMR (500 MHz, CDC13)ppm 7.71 (d, J= 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.58 (d, J= 8.0 Hz, 1H), 5.25 (s, 2H), 2.37 (s, 3H).

The synthetic route of 83647-43-2 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
