introduction | methyl 2-fluoro-6-hydroxybenzoate is a pharmaceutical intermediate, which can be made of gallic acid as raw material, treated with methanol esterification and dimethyl sulfate etherification to methyl benzoate substituted by trimethyl ether, and then interact with the complex reagent ZnCl2/CH3CH2COOH to selectively remove methyl ether, methyl 2-fluoro-6-hydroxybenzoate was obtained in higher yield. |
preparation | under nitrogen protection, gallic acid (10g,0.059mL) is dissolved in 50mL of methanol, concentrated sulfuric acid in catalytic amount is dropped under stirring, reflux for 8 h, sodium hydroxide solution (80 mL,33%) and dimethyl sulfate (60g) are alternately dropped into the reactor. After dropping, sodium hydroxide solution is used to adjust to strong alkalinity. The temperature is raised to 80 ℃ to continue the reaction for 8 hours. After the reaction is completed, chloroform is used for extraction (40 mL × 3), anhydrous sodium sulfate is dried, thin layer detection is a single point, solvent is evaporated, insoluble impurities are filtered out in a short column to obtain white solid methyl 2-fluoro-6-hydroxybenzoate with a yield of 95%. |
