5676-60-8, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 2-Methylbenzo[d]oxazol-6-amine, cas is 5676-60-8,the benzoxazole compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
The synthetic route for 1 was outlined in Scheme 1, and the detailed procedures were presented as follows: (a) To a solution of 2-amino-5-nitrophenol (7.70g, 50.0mmol) and pyridine (3.96g, 50.0mmol) in dry xylene (150mL) at 0C was added dropwise acetyl chloride (4.32g, 55.0mmol). The solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 2h. To above solution was added p-toluenesulfonic acid (1.72g, 10.0mmol), the solution was refluxed till no water was discharged. After cooling to room temperature, the solution was washed with water (100mL¡Á3) and a saturated solution of NaCl (50.0mL), respectively. The organic solution was collected and dried over Na2SO4, after evaporation of the solvent, the crude 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoxazole (pale solid, 8.80g, 95% yield) was obtained for next step without purification. (b) To a solution of 13 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoxazole (3.92g, 22.0mmol) in 14 methanol (60.0mL) at 70C was added 15 NH4Cl (11.77g, 220mmol) in 16 H2O (40.0mL) and Fe (4.48g, 80.0mmol). The mixture solution was stirred at 70C for 4h till the starting material disappeared (TLC detection). The mixture solution was cooled to ambient temperature and filtered, the solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (30.0mL¡Á3). The combined organic solution was dried over Na2SO4, after evaporation of the solvent, the crude 17 2-methylbenzoxazol-6-amine (2.77g, 85% yield) was obtained for next step reaction without purification. (c) To a solution of 2-methylbenzoxazol-6-amine (2.66g, 18.0mmol) in methanol (30.0mL) was added 18 formaldehyde (37%, 12mL, 144mmol) and 19 NaBH3CN (2.27g, 36.0mmol). The solution was stirred at ambient temperature for 36h till the starting material disappeared (TLC detection). The solution was poured into H2O (30.0mL), and the mixture solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (30.0mL¡Á3). The combined organic solution was dried over Na2SO4, the solution is concentrated and 20 2-methyl-6-(N, N-dimethylamino) benzoxazole (2.50g, 79% yield) is obtained by flash column chromatography (elute: petroleum ether / ethyl acetate=10 / 1, v/v, Rf =0.11).
The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis,5676-60-8,2-Methylbenzo[d]oxazol-6-amine,I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
