Analyzing the synthesis route of 3-Iodo-4-methylbenzoic acid

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.

Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 82998-57-0, name is 3-Iodo-4-methylbenzoic acid, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., 82998-57-0

Step 1: To a solution of 3-iodo-4-methyl-benzoic acid (10.0 g, 38.2 mmol) in methanol (70 ml) is added concentrated sulfuric acid (0.5 ml). The reaction mixture is heated at 70C for 48 hours, cooled to room ambient temperature and then concentrated. After that, ethyl acetate (100 ml) and aqueous NaHCO3 (saturated, 100 ml) solution are added to the residue. The organic layer is separated and washed again with aqueous NaHCO3 (saturated, 100 ml) solution. The organic layer is separated, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4 and concentrated to yield 3-iodo-4-methyl-benzoic acid methyl ester 1. It is used without further purification in the next step. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) delta 8.31 (s, 1 H), 7.87 (d, 1 H, J = 8.4 Hz), 7.48 (d, 1 H, J = 8.4 Hz), 3.85 (s, 3 H), 3.35 (s, 3H); LC-MS m/z: 277.0 (M+1).

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
