Stage #1: 4-methylsalicylaldehyde; Diethyl 2-bromomalonate With tetrabutylammomium bromide; potassium carbonate; potassium iodide In toluene at 80℃; for 20h;
Stage #2: With potassium hydroxide In ethanol; toluene at 80℃; for 27h; |
35 Example 35:6-methylbenzofuran-2-carboxylic acid
To 100 mL of toluene was added 4-methylsalicylaldehyde (1 g, 7.3 mmol) in that order,Potassium carbonate (2 g, 15 mmol), tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.2 g, 0.7 mmol) andPotassium iodide (0.6 g, 3.7 mmol), stirred at 80 ° C,Then, diethyl bromo-malonate (2.6 g, 11 mmol) was added,After warming to reflux, after 20 hours, 3 mL of potassium hydroxide solution was added to the reaction solution,Stirring was continued for 24 hours, cooled to room temperature, the solvent was removed by a rotary evaporator,To the residue was added 1 g of potassium hydroxide and 100 mL of ethanol,The temperature was raised to 80 ° C and stirred for 3 hours. The TLC test showed complete reaction,The solvent was removed using a rotary evaporator and 50 mL of water was added to the residue, Using 2M HCl solution adjusted to PH value of 3, the emergence of yellow solid,Filtered and washed with water to give 0.6 g of a pale yellow solid in 47% yield. |
