| introduction | in recent years, the application of 5-bromo-2-furanformaldehyde in antiviral drugs, antiparasitic drugs, antimalarial drugs, anticancer drugs and anticancer drugs has gradually increased, thus significantly increasing its economic value and attracting widespread attention. |
| properties | 5-bromo -2-furaldehyde is a yellowish powder with a melting point of 80-85 ℃, a boiling point of 222.8 ℃/760mmHg, a flash point of 112 ℃/6mmHg, a density ρ = 1.748g/cm3, and can be dissolved in organic solvents such as carbon dichloride, carbon tetrachloride, ether, etc. |
| application | furaldehyde is an important basic chemical raw material, and there are more than 1600 kinds of chemical products directly or indirectly derived from furaldehyde. 5-bromo-2-furaldehyde is an important furaldehyde deep processing product, is an important organic synthesis intermediate compound, widely used in medicine, pesticides, dyes, polymer materials and other fields. |
| preparation | 1,2-dichloroethane (240 ml) was added to a 2000 ml two-mouth round bottom flask, then furfural (49.6 ml, 600 mmol), hydroquinone (0.6g, 5.2 mmol) and sulfur powder (0.168g, 5.2 mmol) were added sequentially. 1,2-dichloroethane (300 ml) and liquid bromine (36.8 ml, 680 mmol) were added to a constant pressure funnel. After the mixture of the reaction bottle is heated to reflux, the bromine solution of 1,2-dichloroethane is slowly added to the reaction bottle (1-3 hours), and the reaction mixture is heated and stirred for 20 hours. After the reaction, cool to room temperature, filter, the filtrate is neutralized with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution to pH = 8, and the organic phase is separated. The aqueous phase is extracted with dichloromethane (3 × 75ml), and the organic phase is combined with anhydrous sodium sulfate. dry. Rotating evaporation removes the solvent to obtain a black oil, which is added to a 1:1 solution of water and ethanol and stirred and placed to obtain 37.73g of orange needle crystal 5-bromo-2-furanformaldehyde. |
