| Application | 3-iodobenzyl alcohol can be used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical synthesis, which can be prepared from methyl m-iodobenzoic acid as the reaction raw material, and can be used to prepare a new type of dihaloacetylated pyrethroid. At present, pyrethroids are used in almost all crops, nurseries, various urban structures and landscaping sites, construction sites (termites used before construction), home/garden environments and many other places. |
| preparation | put methyl iodobenzoate (1.0eq.) into a 100mL round bottom flask, put into a magnetic stirrer, deoxygenate with N2, plug in a rubber plug, insert a N2 balloon, add a proper amount of dried toluene with a syringe as solvent, stir evenly, then add LiBH4(inTHF)(2.0M) with a syringe, 1.0~2.0eq.), then transfer the system into an oil bath at 100 ℃, react for 1h, and point the plate to confirm whether the reaction is complete (TLC method). When the reaction is complete, slowly add 5% excess dilute hydrochloric acid as quencher until no bubbles are generated in the reaction system. Then, the reaction system is distilled by a rotary steamer under reduced pressure to basically completely spin-dry the solvent, and then extracted three times with ethyl acetate to collect the organic phase, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, filtered, collected the filtrate, and decompressed distillation to spin-evaporate the solvent. The crude product was purified by column chromatography (dry loading, eluent: petroleum ether/ethyl acetate = 3/1 (volume ratio) Rf = 0.400) to obtain a clear light yellow liquid, I .e. the product 3-iodobenzyl alcohol was obtained. |
