In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 17701-61-0, name is Benzyl 3-hydroxy-2,2-dimethylpropanoate, the common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. category: alcohols-buliding-blocks
[91] A solution of diisopropylazodicarboxylate (DIAD, 0.52 mL, 2.8 mmol) prepared in 2 mL anhydrous THF) was slowly added to a stirred mixture of benzyl 3-hydroxy-2,2- dimethylpropanoate (590 mg, 2.8 mmol), triphenylphosphine (820 mg, 3.1 mmol) and N- hydroxyphthalimide (510 mg, 3.1 mmol) prepared in 20 mL anhydrous THF at 0 C. After stirring the mixture at room temperature under a nitrogen atmosphere for 24 h, THF was removed under reduced pressure and the residue re-dissolved in 40 mL of ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate mixture was washed with water (10 mL) three times, brine and dry-loaded onto a 40-g silica column. The final product was obtained in 73% yield (730 mg) as a white solid after FCC purification (hexane/ethyl acetate). [92] NMR (CDCh, 400 MHz): 5 7.84 (m, 2H), 7.76 (s, 2H), 7.39 (m, 5H), 5.19 (s, 2H), 4.32 (s, 2H), 1.42 (s, 6H); 13C NMR (CDC13, 100 MHz): 5 175.0, 163.1, 136.0, 134.4, 129.0, 128.5, 128.1, 123.5, 83.6, 66.7, 43.2, 22.2, MS (ESI+): m/z (intensity), 354.4 ([M+H]+, 100%).
The synthetic route of 17701-61-0 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
