Introduction of a new synthetic route about 5391-88-8

With the rapid development of chemical substances, we look forward to future research findings about 5391-88-8.

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. 5391-88-8, name is 1-(4-Bromophenyl)ethanol, molecular formula is C8H9BrO, 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. Safety of 1-(4-Bromophenyl)ethanol

General procedure: Catalyst (2 mol%), aryl halide (1 equiv.) and Na2CO3 (1.1 equiv.) were stirred in H2O (5 mL) taken in the round bottom flask. The aryl boronic acid (1.1 equiv.) was added to the stirring solution. Stirring was continued for required time at 45 C. After the requisite time, the reaction mixture was diluted with water and the product was extracted with ethyl acetate. The ethyl acetate extract was passed through celite bed and then analyzed by GC. Authentic samples of both reactant and product were used to verify the retention time and to confirm the product formation. The ethyl acetate extract was concentrated and chromatographed on a silica gel column using hexane and ethylacetate as eluent to afford coupled product. The products are characterized by NMR, GC MS and UPLC analyses.

With the rapid development of chemical substances, we look forward to future research findings about 5391-88-8.
