overview
3-Bromo-2-methylbenzyl alcohol is a pharmaceutical intermediate, which can be prepared by esterification of 3-bromo-2-methylbenzoic acid and reduction. It has been reported that 3-bromo-2-methylbenzyl alcohol can be used to prepare a fused ring compound and be used as a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. It has the advantages of high activity, high bioavailability, drug stability, oral administration, etc.
Preparation
step 1: synthesize the compound I-1B dissolve the compound I-1A(10.7g,50mmol) in methanol (100ml), then add 2ml of concentrated sulfuric acid, and the obtained reaction solution reacts overnight at 60 degrees celsius. TLC shows that after the reaction is over, cool to room temperature, spin off methanol, and add saturated ammonium chloride solution (250ml). Extraction with ethyl acetate (150mL × 3), washing the combined organic layer with salt water, then drying with anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtering to remove the desiccant, decompressing, and purifying the residue with silica gel column chromatography (petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 10/1 (volume ratio V/V)) to obtain compound I-1B(9.9g, light yellow liquid), yield: 87%. MS m/z(ESI):229[M 1].
step 2: the compound I-1C is synthesized by dissolving the compound I-1B(4.56g,20mmol) in anhydrous THF solution (100ml), cooling to 0 degrees celsius, adding LAH(0.8g,20mmol) in batches, maintaining the internal temperature of the reaction solution to be less than 5 degrees celsius, slowly heating to room temperature for 2 hours after adding, TLC shows that after the reaction is finished, cooling to 0 degrees celsius, and dropping 0.8ml of water in turn, 0.8ml of NaOH with a concentration of 15% and 2.4ml of water are added, stirred for 1 hour, filtered, and the obtained filtrate is spin-dried to obtain compound I-1C, namely 3-bromo-2-methylbenzyl alcohol (3.7g, yellow solid), with a yield of 92.4%.
