2,5-DIMETHOXY-4-METHYLBENZALDEHYDE Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

After stirring a mixture of 8.5 mi of N-methyifor maniiide (0.068 moi) and 6.3 mi of phosphorus oxytrichio ride (0.068 moi) at room temperature for 40 minutes, 17.8 g of 2, 5-dimethoxytoiuene (0.117 moi) are introduced. The reaction mixture is heated for 6 hours at 500 C. and then, after returning to a temperature of 20 C., it is hydroiysed with 100 mi of aqueous 10percent sodium acetate soiution, extracted twice with diethyi ether and concentrated. The residue is taken up in aqueous sodium hydrogen suiphite soiution and extracted twice with diethyi ether. The aqueous phase is basied (pH=12) in order to give white crystais; m.p.=83 C.; yieid=67percent.Phosphorous oxychloride (12.5 mL) was slowly added to 2, 5-dimethoxy-toluene (5 g, 3.3 mmol) in 10 mL DMF. The reaction was stirred at room temperature for 4 h then heated to 80 °C for 4 h. Then the reaction was poured into ice water and filtered. The filtrate was collected, dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under reduced pressure to provide 5.1 g (85.9percent) of the desired product as a pale yellow solid. TLC: Rf = 0.4 (EtOAc: Hexane, 1 :9), UV active.

Uses

2,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylbenzaldehyde is used in the preparation of phenylamine derivative as potential psychotomimetics.
