1-Bromo-3-methoxypropane Application, Use, Usage, Synthesis Method, etc.
- As a commonly used alkylating agent
- Used in pharmaceutical chemistry, organic synthesis intermediates, and reagents
- Pharmaceutical chemistry is used to synthesize the drug molecule Brinzolamide, which is used to treat ocular hypertension and open-angle glaucoma.
- In organic synthesis, the bromine unit is mainly used as an alkylating agent to protect oxygen atoms or nitrogen atoms due to its easy leaving property.
- Used to synthesize a variety of functional compounds, such as esters, ethers, alcohols, etc.
- Used as a precursor for surfactants, dyes, and fragrances.
Preparation method
- Add 40g (0.2mol) of 1,3-dibromopropane to 50ml of methanol and add sodium methoxide (methanol solution).
- Reflux for 6 hours, add 100ml of water and stir.
- Extract with n-pentane and dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate.
- After filtration, evaporate the n-pentane solvent to obtain 30g of crude 1-methoxy-3-bromopropane as a colorless oil.
