Methyl 2-bromobenzoate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

CLEAR LIGHT YELLOW LIQUID

Uses

Methyl 2-bromobenzoate under Heck reaction with acrylonitrile results in lactonization to give the benzofuran-2-one 3-(cyanomethyl)-2-coumaranone. It is an important raw material and intermediate used in Organic Synthesis, Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals

Purification Methods

A solution of the ester in ether is washed with 10% aqueous Na 2CO3, water, then dried and distilled. [Beilstein 9
