Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of (4-Bromo-2,6-difluorophenyl)methanol

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,162744-59-4, its application will become more common.

Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 162744-59-4, (4-Bromo-2,6-difluorophenyl)methanol, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound, 162744-59-4, blongs to alcohols-buliding-blocks compound. Recommanded Product: (4-Bromo-2,6-difluorophenyl)methanol

A solution of 4-Bromo-2,6-difluorobenzyl alcohol (3.517 g, 15.77 mmol) and triphenylphosphine (4.55 g, 17.34 mmol) in dichloromethane (70 ml) was cooled to 0 C. and N-bromosuccinimide (3.086 g, 17.34 mmol) was added in 5 portions over 20 mins. The solution was warmed to 25 C. and stirred for 16 h. The reaction was quenched by the addition of dilute aqueous sodium bicarbonate. The resulting mixture was extracted with diethyl ether and the combined organic layers were washed with water, then brine and dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated under reduced pressure. The title compound was isolated by column chromatography on silica using 5 to 20% ethyl acetate in n-pentane to give the title compound as an oil (3.785 g, 84%).1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta: 7.10 (2H, m), 4.44 (2H, s); LC/MS Retention time 3.38 mins/M+H not observed.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route,162744-59-4, its application will become more common.
