Hydrochloric Acid → Bis(3-methylphenyl)methanone

온도

-15 °C

An oven-dried, three-necked 1-L flask equipped with magnetic stirring bar, gas inlet, dropping funnel, and condenser was flushed with nitrogen and loaded with m-tolunitrile (49.1 g, 419 mmol) and THF (30 mL). A solution of m-tolyl magnesium chloride in THF (1 M, 440 mL) was added dropwise at such a rate that the internal temperature was kept below 50° C. The mixture was heated to reflux for 18 h, then cooled to −15° C., and hydrolyzed with ice-water (210 mL) and aqueous HCl (36.5%, 300 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min and heated to 80° C. for 18 h. Most of the THF (400 mL) was removed by distillation. The solution was extracted with MTBE (250 mL, 3×200 mL). The combined organic layers were washed with saturated NaHCO3 solution (200 mL) and saturated NaCl solution (200 mL), dried over MgSO4, and concentrated under vacuum to give di-m-tolyl-methanone (99.5 g, quantitative) as a red oil, which was used without further purification for the next step. 1H NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3/TMS): δ (ppm): 7.62 (s, 2H), 7.54 (d, 2H, J=7.0 Hz), 7.36-7.31 (m, 4H), 2.37 (s, 6H). 13C NMR (75 MHz, CDCl3=77.23 ppm): δ (ppm): 197.1, 138.1, 133.2, 130.5, 128.3, 127.4, 21.4 [lit. ref.: Coops, J.; Nauta, W. Th.; Ernsting, M. J. E.; Faber, M. A. C. Recueil 1940, 57, 1109].
