Application | 2, 6-dibromobenzyl is an important pharmaceutical intermediate, leukotrienes and prostaglandins are important mediators of inflammation, which can promote the development of inflammation in different ways. Patent WO2006128142A2 uses 2, 6-dibromobenzyl bromide as raw material to synthesize cytosolic phospholipase (cPLA2) it can be used as a chemical inhibitor of leukotriene and prostaglandin activity to achieve the effect of treating inflammation. |
preparation | 1, 3-dibromo-2-methylbenzene: (3, A solution of 5-dibromo-4-methylphenyl) amine in water (80mL) and concentrated HCl(7.5mL) was stirred for 20 min, the mixture was then cooled and a solution of NaNO2(3.4g / 40mL H2O) was added at 0-5 °c. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0-5 °c for 2 hours, then the suspension was added to a solution of hypophosphorous acid (50%,27.9g) and the mixture was cooled to 0 °c. The mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. It was then extracted with CH2Cl2(100ml x 2). The organic layer was washed with brine (30ml) and dried over Na2SO4. After silica column chromatography (eluting with petroleum ether), 3.57G of product were obtained as a colorless liquid. 1, 3-dibromo-2-methylbenzene, yield 3.57g. |
