Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 4-(Chloromethyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one

The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis, 4-(Chloromethyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one, , I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.

4-(Chloromethyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one, A common heterocyclic compound, 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.”80841-78-7

To a solution of the compound of Formula IV (5.0 g) in toluene (40 mL), dimethylacetamide (10 mL) is added, followed by addition of sodium hydroxide (1.2 g) and N,N-diisopropylamine (3.7 g) at 25-35C. The mixture is stirred at 40- 45C for 4 hours. 5-Methyl-2-oxo-(1 ,3-dioxolene-4-yl)methyl chloride (1.5 g) and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.5 g) are added at 40-450C. The mixture is stirred at 60-70C for 8 hours. The mass is cooled to 25-35C, water (50 mL) is added, and the pH is adjusted to about 6-7 by adding 10% aqueous HCI. The layers are separated. The aqueous layer is extracted with toluene (25 mL). The organic layers are combined and washed with water (25 mL). The solvent is distilled under reduced pressure. Methanol (25 mL) is added to the residue. The mixture is cooled to 0-50C and stirred at that temperature for 45 minutes. The formed solid is filtered, washed with methanol (10 mL) and dried for 45 minutes under vacuum (yield 3.0 g).

The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis, 4-(Chloromethyl)-5-methyl-1,3-dioxol-2-one, , I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
