Application | Dialkyl azodicarboxylate is a class of compounds with both azo and carboxyl functional groups. Due to its unique electronic and structural characteristics, dialkyl azodicarboxylate has been widely used in organic synthesis as a multifunctional reagent, especially in Mitsunobu reactions, ammonification of carbonyl compounds, ammonification of unsaturated hydrocarbons and synthesis of heterocyclic compounds. It plays a very important role. In addition, azodicarboxylate can also be used as an oxidant for the dehydrogenation and oxidation of alcohols and amines. |
preparation | add 14.8g of azodicarbonamide, 11.2g of potassium hydroxide and 100mL of water to a 250mL four-mouth flask equipped with a mechanical stirrer, a reflux condenser tube, a 100mL constant pressure drop funnel and a thermometer. Heat reflux in an oil bath and absorb the ammonia gas produced with dilute hydrochloric acid aqueous solution. Until ammonia is no longer produced, stop heating to obtain a light yellow aqueous solution. Take 27.8g of benzyl chloride and a small amount of n-tetrabutyl ammonium bromide into a constant pressure drop funnel and slowly drop under mechanical stirring. During the drop-up process, the reaction temperature is controlled below 40 ℃, and the pH is kept at 8-12. After the drop-down is completed, the reaction is heated and refluxed for 3 hours. The temperature of the above solution was reduced to room temperature, extracted with dichloromethane (100mL × 3), dried and filtered with anhydrous sodium sulfate, evaporated at normal pressure to remove dichloromethane, and the residue was distilled under reduced pressure in an oil bath to collect 25.4g of fraction with a yield of 85.2%. |
