synthetic route
Methoxyacetophenone can be synthesized by the following methods:
1. Friedel Crafts acetylation reaction (commonly used method):
Raw materials: benzyl ether (anise ether)+acetyl chloride (or acetic anhydride)
Catalyst: Anhydrous aluminum trichloride (AlCl ∝), ferric trichloride (FeCl ∝), or acidic clay
Condition: Under carbon disulfide (CS ?) or direct heating reflux (about 140 ° C), the product is purified by washing with water and vacuum distillation after several hours of reaction
2. Modern green catalytic method (literature report):
Using MoSi composite metal oxide catalyst to catalyze the reaction of benzyl ether and acetyl chloride at 80 ° C for 10 hours, the yield is relatively high
3. Other methods:
Reaction of Benzyl Ether and Acetic Acid in the Presence of Boron Trifluoride (BFVNet)
