Application | Isonitrile methyl acetate is a transparent yellow to brown liquid, isonitrile methyl acetate can be made of glycine methyl ester hydrochloride as a raw material First prepare 2-formylamino acetate methyl ester, and then react with phosphorus oxychloride to obtain isonitrile methyl acetate. |
the synthesis steps of preparing | α-isocyanoacetate methyl ester are as follows: 2.75g(23.5mmol) N-formylglycine methyl ester is dissolved in 100mL redistilled anhydrous dichloromethyl chloride (DCM), then 8.1mL(58.7mmol) of triethylamine is added, and the reaction mixture is placed in an ice bath, stirred and cooled for 15min. After the cooling is complete, slowly add phosphorus oxychloride 2.2mL(23.5mmol) in the anti-stereoscopic system, and then continue to stir and react in the ice bath for 1h. The solution was then raised to room temperature, and saturated Na2CO3 solution was slowly added until the pH showed to be alkaline, stirring continued until the aqueous and organic phases were fully stratified, the organic layer was separated from the separatory funnel, and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (30 mLx3). The organic layer is combined, washed 3 times with saturated salt water, the organic phase is dried with anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and washed, the filtrate is combined and spun dry to obtain crude α-isocyanoacetate methyl ester. The crude product is separated and purified by RP-HPLC, and after vacuum drying, 1.51g of dark brown liquid with strong pungent smell is obtained with a yield of 65.0%. |
