The synthetic route of 2-(Hydroxymethyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
A common heterocyclic compound, 118-29-6, name is 2-(Hydroxymethyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione, molecular formula is C9H7NO3, 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. 118-29-6.
A mixture of phthalimide (41.14 g, 0.30 mol) and distilled water (100 mL) was stirred for 10 min at room temperature. After addition of formaldehyde solution (40%, 27 mL, 0.36 mol), the resulting solution was refluxed for 1.5 h. After cooling to 0-5 C, the resulting precipitate was collected by filtration, washed with cold water (0-5 C, 200 mL) and dried in air to give the corresponding N-hydroxymethylphthalimide (51.01 g, 96% yield).(0010)A solution of thionyl chloride (23.0 mL, 37.7 g, 0.32 mol) in dichloromethane (50 mL) was slowly added to a mixture of the resulting N-hydroxymethylphthalimide and dichloromethane (550 mL) and N,N-dimethylformamide (350 mL) during 30 min at room temperature with stirring. The resulting mixture was further stirred for 2 h at room temperature. After cooling to 0 C, water (200 mL) was added slowly. And the solution was neutralized to pH 6.7-7.0 by using saturated aqueous NaHCO3 solution. The organic layer was separated and then was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. After evaporation of the solvent under the reduced pressure, the residue was washed with n-hexane (100 mL) to give N-chloromethylphthalimide (51.4 g, 93% yield).(0011) N-Chloromethylphthalimide (51.0 g, 0.26 mol) was dissolved in acetone (500 mL) and potassium O-ethyl xanthate (43.9 g, 274 mmol) was added portionwise in an ice water bath under stirring. The resulting solution was further stirred for 10 h at room temperature. After removal of the solvent, the residue was dissolved in dichloromethane. The resulting solution was washed with water and dried over sodium sulfate. After removal of the solvent under the reduced pressure, pale yellow solid was obtained and recrystallized from ethyl acetate to afford the xanthate 1 as colorless crystals 67.2 g, 92% yield, mp: 99-100 C. Lit.20 mp: 94-95 C. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) (delta, ppm) 1.47 (t, J=7.1 Hz, 3H, CH3), 4.68 (q, J=7.1 Hz, 2H, CH2), 5.34 (s, 2H, CH2), 7.75 (dd, J=5.5, 3.1 Hz, 2H, ArH), 7.88 (dd, J=5.5, 3.1 Hz, 2H, ArH). 13C NMR (CDCl3, 100 MHz) (delta, ppm) 13.7, 41.2, 70.5, 123.6, 131.8, 134.4, 166.6, 210.2.
