3'-bromo-2'-methylacetophenone synthesis

4synthesis methods
To a stirred and refluxing Grignard-complex, previously prepared starting from 7.3 parts of magnesium, 52.6 parts of methyl iodide in 160 parts of ether, is added dropwise a solution of 19.6 parts of  3'-bromo-2'-methylbenzonitrile in 40 parts of ether. Upon completion, stirring at reflux is continued for 20 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to 0 C and poured onto 500 parts of ice water while stirring vigorously. The ethereal phase is separated, dried and evaporated. The residue is boiled in 60 parts of a 6N hydrochloric acid solution for 10 minutes. The separated oil is extracted with ether. The extract is washed with water, dried and evaporated. The residue is distilled, yielding 3'-bromo-2'-methylacetophenone.

Yield:52779-76-7 90.9%

Reaction Conditions:

in tetrahydrofuran at 0 - 40; for 3 h;

Steps:



[0245] Step B: To a solution of 33-bromo-N-methoxy-N,2-dimethylbenzamide (120 g, 465 mmol, 1.00 eq.) in THF (100 mL) was added methyl magnesium bromide (3.0 M, 180 mL, 1,16 eq.) at 0 °C. The mixture was stirred between 0-40 °C for 3 hours, then the mixture was cooled to 0 °C and hydrochloric acid (6.0 N) (450 mL) was added dropwise, and stirred for 2 hours between 40-45 °C. Then the mixture was cooled to 25 °C and poured into a saturated ammonium chloride solution (9000 mL). The aqueous phase was extracted with ethyl acetate (1500 mL c 3). The combined organic phase was washed with brine (1000 mL x 3), dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated under vacuum to give 1-(3-bromo-2-methylphenyl)ethan-1-one (90.0 g, 422 mmol, 90.9% yield) as yellow oil. [0246] NMR (400 MHz, CDiOD) d = 7.70 (dd, J= 1.2, 8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.62 (dd, J= 0.8, 7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.19 (t, J= 8.0 Hz, 1H), 2.56 (s, 3H), 2.46 (s, 3H).
