Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 67853-03-6

With the rapid development of chemical substances, we look forward to future research findings about 67853-03-6.

As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 67853-03-6, name is Methyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate, molecular formula is C9H10O3, The compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below. Recommanded Product: Methyl 3-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate

General procedure: A solution of the appropriate ethyl or methyl esters 21a-d (1.0 mmol) in methanol (5 mL) was prepared in a 10 mL CEM microwave vessel. Hydrazine hydrate 50% (5.0 mmol) was added, the vessel was capped and placed in a microwave reactor and the reaction carried out with the following method in dynamic mode: 140 C, 60 min, 100 W, with high stirring. After completion the reaction mixture was transferred to a round bottom flask and the solvent evaporated under reduced pressure. The crude product was transferred to an Erlenmeyer flask and suspended in dichloromethane, heated at 50 C for 5 min, rapidly vacuum filtered and washed with the same solvent, to obtain the pure product (yield 80-90%). When the product was found to be still not pure, the purification procedure was repeated.

With the rapid development of chemical substances, we look forward to future research findings about 67853-03-6.
