Electric Literature of 7170-01-6, New Advances in Chemical Research in 2021. The appropriate choice of redox mediator can avoid electrode passivation and overpotential, which strongly inhibit the efficient activation of substrates in electrolysis. 7170-01-6, name is 3-Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole, molecular formula is C3H5N3, its traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, below Introduce a new synthetic route.
To a stirred solution of 1-fluoro-2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene (2.5 g, 14.60 mmol) in DMF (25 mL) under an argon atmosphere were added potassium carbonate (4 g, 29.20 mmol) and 3-methyl-1H-1, 2, 4-triazole (1.2 g, 14.60 mmol) at room temperature. The reaction mixture was stirred at 85 oC for 16 h in a sealed tube. After consumption of the starting material (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was diluted with water (100 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (2 x 50 mL). The combined organic extracts were dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by column chromatography using 15-25% EtOAc:hexane to afford 1-fluoro-2-methoxy-4-nitrobenzene (1.2 g, 35%) as an off-white solid. 1H-NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz): delta 8.87 (s, 1H), 8.10 (d, 1H), 8.00-7.97 (m, 2H), 4.10 (s, 3H), 2.50 (s, 3H); LCMS: 234.9 (M+1); (column; Ascentis Express C-18 (50 × 3.0 mm, 2.7 mum); RT 2.02 min. 0.025% Aq TFA+5% ACN: ACN+5% 0.025% Aq TFA; 1.2 mL/min); TLC: 30% EtOAc:hexane (Rf: 0.2).
