Sodium Sulfite → Methyl 2-bromo-3,5-dimethoxybenzoate

참여 물질

반응 단계

3,5-Dimethoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (4.0 g) was dissolved in MeCN (28 mL), and NBS (4.4 g) was added at 0° C. After stirring at room temperature for 3 hours, saturated Na2SO3 (15 mL) was added. The mixture was evaporated under vacuum and extracted with ether (1×, 500 mL). After the solvent was removed, the crude material was subjected to silica gel chromatography using effluent of 10-40% ethyl acetate and hexanes. The fractions containing product were combined and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to provide 2-bromo-3,5-dimethoxy-benzoic acid methyl ester (5.2 g, 93%) as a clear oil.
