A new synthetic route of 1,8-Octanediol

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,629-41-4, its application will become more common.

Application of 629-41-4 ,Some common heterocyclic compound, 629-41-4, molecular formula is C8H18O2, its traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc., below Introduce a new synthetic route.

General procedure: DHP (3.46 ml, 37.9 mmol) and a catalytic amount of PPTS were added to a solution of 1,8-octanediol (Compound 7, 5.85 g, 40.0 mmol) in CHCl3 (100 ml) in a stream of argon at room temperature, and the mixture was stirred for 16 hours. The reaction solution was stirred for 5 minutes after addition of H2O. The organic layer was separated, and the aqueous layer was extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic layer was washed with a saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution then with a saturated aqueous NaCl solution, and was dried over Na2SO4. After evaporation of the solvent, the residue was purified by column chromatography on silica gel (Hexane:EtOAc = 3:1 to 2:1) to yield the corresponding THP ether (4.95 g, 54%).

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,629-41-4, its application will become more common.
