5-Bromo-m-xylene Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

General procedure: under oxygen, a sealed reaction tube was charged with KX (X = I, Br) (0.2 mmol), arylboronic acid (0.3 mmol), CuBr97 ml (1.82 mol) of96percent sulfuric acid was added dropwise to a solution of134.7 g (ca. 673 mmol) of 4-bromo-2, 6-dimethylaniline (prepared above, purity ca.90percent) in 1400 ml of95percent ethanol cooled to -10°C, at a such a rate to maintain the reaction temperature below 7°C. After the addition was complete, the solution wasstirred at room temperature for 1 h. Then, the reaction mixture was cooled in an icebath, and a solution of72.5 g (1.05 mol) of sodium nitrite in 150 ml of water wasadded dropwise over ca. 1 h. The formed solution was stirred at the sametemperature for 30 min. Then the cooling bath was removed, and 18 g of copper powder was added. Upon completion of the rapid evolution of nitrogen additionalportions (ca. 5 g each, ca. 50 g in total) of copper powder were added with 10 minintervals until gas evolution ceased completely. The reaction mixture was stirred atroom temperature overnight, then filtered through a glass frit (G3), diluted with twofoldvolume of water, and the crude product was extracted with 4 x 150 ml of dichloromethane. The combined extract was dried over K2C03, evaporated todryness, and then distilled in vacuum (b.p. 60-63°C/5 mm Hg) to give a yellowishliquid. This product was additionally purified by flash-chromatography on silica gel60 (40-63 )lm; eluent: hexane) and distilled once again (b.p. 51-52°C/3 mm Hg) togive 63.5 g (51percent) of 1-bromo-3, 5-dimethylbenzene as a colorless liquid. 1H NMR (CDCh): b 7.12 (s, 2H), 6.89 (s, IH), 2.27 (s, 6H). 13CeH} NMR(CDCh): b 139.81, 129.03, 128.61, 122.04, 20.99.

Uses

5-Bromo-m-xylene has been used in the synthesis of substituted 2,2′-bis(diphenylphosphanylmethyl)-1,1′-binaphthyl derivatives.
