These common heterocyclic compound, 50667-69-1, name is 2,2,2-Trifluoro-N-(hydroxymethyl)acetamide, 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. Computed Properties of C3H4F3NO2
To a solution of 2-chloro-6-methylbenzoic acid (2.0 g, 11.72 mmol) in cone H2SO4 (4 mL) was added 2,2,2-trifluoro-N-(hydroxymethyl)acetamide (1.26 g, 8.80 mmol). The mixture was stirred at rt for 16 h. The reaction mixture was poured into ice-water and stirred for 2 h. The precipitate was collected by filtration and dried to afford 1.80 g of the title product and 6- chloro-2-methyl-3-((2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)methyl)benzoic acid as mixture of products. A solution of 2-chloro-6-methyl-3-((2,2,2-trifluoroacetamido)methyl)benzoic acid (1.70 g, 5.75 mmol) in cone. HC1 (10 mL) and dioxane (2 mL) was heated at reflux for 12 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated and the concentrate was dissolved in THF (1 mL). The solution was treated with NaOH (690 mg, 17.25 mmol) in H20 (2 mL) at 0C followed by iert-butyl dicarbonate (2.51 g, 11.50 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred rt for 16 h. The reaction mixture was acidified with IN HC1 and the pH was adjusted to 2-3. The reaction mixture was extracted with 5% MeOH in CHCl3. The organic layer was separated, dried, filtered and concentrated. The concentrate was dissolved in CH3CN (20 mL) and the solution was treated with K2CO3 (1.60 g, 11.50 mmol) and CH3I (11.50 mmol) at rt. Then the reaction mixture was heated at 50 C for 1-2 h before it was quenched with water and was extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer was washed with brine, separated, dried, filtered and concentrated. The concentrated was purified by column chromatography to provide 1.4 g of the title product and methyl 3-(((ierf-butoxycarbonyl)amino)methyl)-6-chloro-2- methylbenzoate as mixture of products.
The synthetic route of 2,2,2-Trifluoro-N-(hydroxymethyl)acetamide has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
