Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps,and cheap raw materials. 1628-89-3, name is 2-Methoxypyridine. A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., category: pyridine-derivatives
A 5-liter three-necked round bottom flask was equipped with an overhead mechanical stirrer under nitrogen, the flask was charged with THF (1 L) and cooled to -78 C. To this stirred solution was added tert-butyllithium (1.7 M solution in pentane) (800 mL, 1.36 mol) via canula followed by 2-methoxypyridine (132.2 g, 1.21 mol) at -78 C. The mixture was stirred for 1 h at -78 C. To the mixture was added N-formyl-N, N’, N’-trimethylethylenediamine (176 mL, 1.37 mol) dropwise at -78 C. The reaction mixture was stirred for ca. 30 min at -78 C. before warming to -23 C. over ca. 30 min. To the mixture at -23 C. was added ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (1 L) followed by n-butyllithium (2.5 M solution in hexane) (800 mL, 2.0 mol). The resulting mixture was stirred for ca. 2 h during which time the reaction mixture turned deep green. A 12-L 4-necked round flask was charged with iodine (571 g, 2.25 mol) and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether (2 L) and the resultant solution was cooled to -78 C. The contents of the 5-L flask were transferred via canula to the mixture of iodine and ethylene glycol dimethyl ether in the 12-L flask at -78 C. After the addition was complete, the reaction mixture was stirred for an additional 1 h at -78 C. The cooling bath was removed and the mixture was allowed to warm to about 0 C. and treated with 2 L of water and 2 L of 1 N hydrochloric acid. Methyl t-butyl ether (2L) was added and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted with 2×1 L of methyl t-butyl ether. The combined organic layers were washed with saturated Na2S2O3 (1.2 L), brine (1.2 L), dried over Na2SO4. After concentration in vacuo, the thick slurry was diluted with hexane (1 L). The mixture was cooled with an ice/water bath for ca. 30 min. The precipitate was filtered and dried in vacuum to yield the title compound as a light yellow solid. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) delta 10.22 (s, 1H), 7.86 (1H, d, J=5.3 Hz), 7.54 (1H, d, J=5.3 Hz), 4.06 (3H, s). LCMS (M+H)+ m/z 364 (t=2.26 min.).
