A new synthetic route of Methyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)acrylate

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound,15484-46-5, Methyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)acrylate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

Related Products of 15484-46-5, 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. 15484-46-5, name is Methyl 2-(hydroxymethyl)acrylate. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.

Briefly, compound la (2.0 g, 17.23 mmol) was dissolved in 20 mL of dry DCM and cooled to 0 C in ice bath. PBr3 (2.332 g, 8.615 mmol) was added slowly to the solution. Then the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. The completion of reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of ice. The reaction solution was neutralized by sodium bicarbonate solution and then extracted with DCM three times. Organic layers were collected and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, then concentrated. Compound lb was obtained by flash chromatography. Yield: 2.52 g, 82%. -NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): d 6.34 (s, 1H), 5.96 (s, 1H), 4.18 (s, 2H), 3.82(s, 3H).
