Benzoyl Peroxide → 1-(Bromomethyl)-2-chloro-3-methylbenzene

反応手順

A suspension of 2-chloro-m-xylene (15 ml), N-bromosuccinimide (23.3 g) and benzoyl peroxide (200 mg) in carbon tetrachloride (150 ml) was heated under reflux for 6 hours. The insoluble material was filtered off and the filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure. The obtained residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent:hexane) to give 2-bromomethyl-1-chloro-6-methylbenzene (16.0 g) as a colorless oil. 2-Bromomethyl-1-chloro-6-methylbenzene (25.4 g) and hexamethylenetetramine (32.4 g) were dissolved in acetic acid-water (1:1, 10 ml) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 5 hours. To the reaction mixture was added concentrated hydrochloric acid (40 ml) and the mixture was heated under reflux for 1 hour. The reaction mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with an aqueous sodium hydrogencarbonate solution and a saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution, and dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated to give 2-chloro-3-methylbenzaldehyde (19.4 g) as a yellow oil. Subsequently, the title compound was prepared from 2-chloro-3-methylbenzaldehyde, 3-aminopyrazole and ethyl 3-ketohexanoate in the same manner as in Example 25.
