80841-78-7, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 4-(Chloromethyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one, cas is 80841-78-7,the Dioxole compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
To BIC (110 g, 1 eq) was added acetone (385 mL, 3.5 vol) at 25C – 30C, and the mixture was dissolved by stirring for 5 min. Sodium carbonate (20.85 g, 1.3 eq) and potassium iodide (0.25 g, 0.01) were added, and the mixture was stirred for 10 min. A solution of 4-chloromethyl-5-methyl-2-oxo-1,3-dioxolene (31.456 g, 1.4 eq) in acetone (165 mL, 1.5 vol) was added thereto. The reaction mixture was heated to 45C – 50C, and stirred at the same temperature for 12 hr. Using TLC (thin layer chromatography) (TLC eluent: 10% methanol/methylene chloride, detection method: UV), complete disappearance of BIC was confirmed. The reaction mixture was cooled to 25C – 30C. Then, the solvent contained in the reaction mixture was evaporated under reduced pressure at 40C – 45C. To the obtained residue were added 10% brine (550 mL, 5 vol) and toluene (550 mL, 5 vol). Furthermore, the mixture was adjusted to pH 7 – 8 by adding 5% hydrochloric acid (33 mL), stirred for 10 min, left standing for 5 min and partitioned. The aqueous layer was extracted with toluene (2×330 mL, 2×3 vol). The extracts were combined with the organic layer, 10% brine (550 mL, 5 vol) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 5 min, left standing for 45 min, partitioned, and concentrated under reduced pressure at 40C – 45C to give TOLM (110 g, 90%). [0306] To the obtained TOLM was added acetone (110 mL, 1 vol), and the mixture was stirred at 25C – 30C for 30 min. n-Heptane (440 mL, 4 vol) was added, and the mixture was cooled to 5C – 10C and stirred at 5C – 10C for 30 min, whereby precipitation of a solid was confirmed. The solid (80 g, 66%) was collected by filtration, and blast dried. To the obtained solid was added isopropyl alcohol (400 mL, 5 vol), and the mixture was heated to 50C – 55C and stirred at 50C – 55C for 1 hr. Then, the mixture was cooled to 25C – 30C, and stirred at 25C – 30C for 1 hr. The resulting solid was filtered and suction-filtered for 10 min to give TOLM (76 g, 62%).
Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 4-(Chloromethyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one, 80841-78-7
