ImRODUCTION The work embodied in this thesis was carried out in a systematic study of some of the iodine derivatives of eertain substituted diphenyl ethers. In 1927 Harrington and Barger1 • .. i proved by synthesis that thyroxin was a derivative of diphenyl ether. r r ll Nfl~ ~o Ho- -o- e.-e..-C.... 01-\ ~ H 0r OL Since that time, study has been made to determine the active principle of that substance. The work carried on in this institution consisted in researches in ~he iodine derivatives of carbo:xy and amino diphenyl ethers. The study of the iodine derivatives of hydroxy diphenyl ether was another of this series of investi- gations. Two series of hydroxy diphenyl ethers were studied in this investigation~· Series A: Derivatives of 4-bydrolcy' diphenyl ether, or of para-phenoxy-phenol~ 0-o-O-OH 2 Series B: Derivatives of 2-hydroxy diphen;yl ether, or ortho-phenoxy phenol. Series A included study of derivatiyes of two types: those in which the substituting group entered the same benzene nucleus with the hydroxyl group; and those in which the substi- tuting group entered the other benzene nucleus than that hold- ing the hydroxyl group. As an example of the first type oA-x 0- V-GH Asan example of the secmnd type x-0-0-0-oH 3 LITERATURE AND HISTORY OF HYDROXY DIPHENYL ETHERS. 4-HYDROXY Al'ID 4-1VfETHOXY DIPHENYL ETHER In literature, three methods are given for the prep- aration of 4-llydroxy ether, two of which depend in their production from the corresponding methoxy ether. I. Diazotization of 4-amino-diphenyl ether and con- version of the amino group to hydroxyl by treatment with hot 50% sulfuric acid. II. Fusion of the alkali salt of the monomethyl ether of hydroquinone with bromobenzene at a temperature of 240° for 2ra hours, and comversion of the methoxy group to hydroxyl by refluxing the ether with anliydrous aluminum chloride in benzene solution for 2 hours. III. Fusion of the potassium salt of phenol with p-bromoani~ol~ at a temperature of 200-210° for 4 hours, and conversion to the hydroxy ether by refluxing with aluminum chloride in benzene solution for two hours. Of these methods, diazotization of 4-amino-diphenyl ether results in poor yields and a large amount of tarry mat- erial. Consequently, preparation from the corresponding methoxy derivatives is both more convenient and economical. :METHOXY-DIPHEUYL ETHER In preparation of 4-metho=cy-diphenyl ether, Robinson2 used the potassium salt of the mono-methyl ether of bydroquinone in fusion with bromobenzene, using a slight excess of the phenol ether. He describes the substance as a 4 thick yellow oil which .distills with steam. The boiling point recorded was 186° at 32rmn. One hundred per cent yields were obtained by this method. Oesterlin3 employed the potassium salt of phenol ( f2 mols) with :p-bromo-anisole. The boiling point is the same as that given for Robinson. However. Oesterlin does not give yields in his article. In this thesis, Oesterlin's method was used with a few modifications for the preparation of methoxy-diphenyl ether. The p-bromoanisole vms obtained in almost quantitative yields by the direct bromination of anisole in glacial acetic acid. 4-HYDROXY DIPHENYL ETHER. In order to obtain the corresponding hydroxy ether from 4-methoxy-diphenyl ether, Osterlin dissolved the oil in benzene, refluxing this solution with anhydrous aluminum chlor- ide for two hours. The phenol was set free from its aluminum salt with concentrated acid and the benzene layer extracted with alkali. The product was precipitated from its alkaline so- lution with hydrochloric acid. In investigation, two other methods were found to give the hydro:xy eompomid. The most successful vra.s the general method of breaking alkyl ethers by treatment with hydriodic acid. Raiford and Colbert4 found that concentrated hydro- bromic acid removed the alkyl group from alkyl-phenyl ethers, but that diphenyl ethers were unchanged by this treatment. For this reason,. bydriodic acid was employed giving almost 100% yields of hydroxy diphenyl ether, without the ·phenyl ether 5 bonding being ruptured. The other method was direct fusion of methoxy diphenyl ether with anhydrous aluminum chlorfde. This resulted in the rupture of both ether bondings contaminating the product with phenol, thus making it unsuitable. Details of the method used will be given later. Some study of had been made of 4-methoxy and 4- bydroxy-diphenyl ether in England and ·in Germany. Robinson5 nitrated 4-methoxy-diphenyl ether in glacial acetic acid solution, obtaining 3-nitro-4-methoxy-diphenyl ether. The substance erystallized from alcohol in yellowish white crystals melting at 73°. He also produced 4-hydroxy-3-nitro ether by refluxing the nitrated methoxy compound for 60 hours in a copper flask. This product was a yellow solid of melting point 51~520. It was found in later work, that the same pro~ duct could be obtained by careful fusion of 3-nitro-methoxy- diphenyl ether with aluminum chloride for 1 hour at 130°. The product obtained crystallized from petroleum ether in yellow needles, was soluble in alkali, and gave the same melting point, 520, as the compound described by Robinson~ Qsterlin6 recently carried on a stua.Y of hydroxy diphenyl ether as a source of making more complex ethers. Some of those prepared were and CH3o-Q-o-<=)ao-Q 6 4-NITR0-4LMETHOXY DIPHENYL ETHER. Oesterlin7 also studied 4-nitro-4~methox.y-diphenyl ether which he prepared by fusion of p-chloronitrobenzene with the potassium salt of the monomethyl ether of hydroquinome, according to the reaction He reduced this compound to the corresponding amine by the action of glacial acetic acid with iron powder. However, he makes no mention of the preparation of 4-bydroxy-4'-nitro- diphenyl ether; 2-METHOXY Alill HYDROXY DIPHElITL ETHER. In regard to 2-hydroxy-diphenyl ether, little work is recorded. Ullmann and Stein8 prepared 2-methoxy ether and 2-2'-dimethoxy diphenyl ether. The monomethyl ether was pre- pared by fusion of the potassium salt of gu.aiacol with bromo- benzene. A second method employed the fusion of the potassium salt of phenol with o-l>romoanisole ~ The first method gave better yields than the second. 2-Bydroxy-diphenyl ether was prepared from 2-methoxy by refluxing with anhydrous aluminum chloride in benzene solu- tion for two hours. 2-2'-Dimethoxy ether was likewise converted · to the hydroxy ether and made to diphenylene oxide. 7 IODINATION OF DIPHENYL ETHERS. A number of iodination products of diphenyl ether have • been prepared of derivatives other than the :hydroxy ether. Those prepared by Scarb~rough9 include 4-iodo-4'-nitro, 4-iodo- 4'-acetamido, 4-iodo-4'-amido, 4-4'-diiodo diphenyl ether.

  • Chem 353: Grignard
    GRIG.1 ORGANIC SYNTHESIS: BENZOIC ACID VIA A GRIGNARD REACTION TECHNIQUES REQUIRED : Reflux with addition apparatus, rotary evaporation OTHER DOCUMENTS Experimental procedure, product spectra INTRODUCTION In this experiment you will synthesise benzoic acid using bromobenzene to prepare a Grignard reagent, which is then reacted with carbon dioxide, worked-up and purified to give the acid. This sequence serves to illustrate some important concepts of practical synthetic organic chemistry : preparing and working with air and moisture sensitive reagents, the "work-up", extractions, apparatus set-up, etc. The synthesis utilises one of the most important type of reagents discussed in introductory organic chemistry, organometallic reagents. In this reaction, the Grignard reagent (an organomagnesium compound), phenylmagnesium bromide is prepared by reaction of bromobenzene with magnesium metal in diethyl ether (the solvent). The Grignard reagent will then be converted to benzoic acid via the reaction of the Grignard reagent with excess dry ice (solid CO2) followed by a "work-up" using dilute aqueous acid : The aryl (or alkyl) group of the Grignard reagent behaves as if it has the characteristics of a carbanion so it is a source of nucleophilic carbon. It is reasonable to represent the structure of the - + Grignard reagent as a partly ionic compound, R ....MgX. This partially-bonded carbanion is a very strong base and will react with acids (HA) to give an alkane: RH + MgAX RMgX + HA Any compound with suitably acidic hydrogens will readily donate a proton to destroy the reagent. Water, alcohols, terminal acetylenes, phenols and carboxylic acids are just some of the functional groups that are sufficiently acidic to bring about this reaction which is usually an unwanted side reaction that destroys the Grignard reagent.

  • Synthesis of Organobromines As a Tool for Their Characterisation and Environmental Occurrence Assessment
    Synthesis of organobromines as a tool for their characterisation and environmental occurrence assessment Andreas Rydén Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry Stockholm University Stockholm 2013 i Doctoral Thesis 2013 Department of Materials and Environmental Chemistry Stockholm University SE-106 91 Stockholm Sweden Abstract Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) have been intensively used as flame retardants (FRs) and have become ubiquitous environmental pollutants. PBDEs form hydroxylated PBDEs (OH-PBDEs) as metabolites. Further, some OH-PBDEs and methoxy-PBDEs (MeO-PBDEs) are natural products. These are all compounds of environmental and health concern and it is therefore important to confirm their identity and to assess their environmental levels and toxicities. Hence, it is vital to obtain authentic reference standards of individual PBDEs and OH/MeO-PBDEs. The thesis main aim was to develop synthesis methods of congener specific PBDEs, OH- and MeO-PBDEs. The second aim was to identify and quantify PBDEs, OH- and MeO-PBDEs in environmental samples. The third was to propose an abbreviation system for FRs. O-Arylation of brominated phenols, using either symmetrical or unsymmetrical brominated diphenyliodonium salts, was selected for synthesis of PBDEs and OH- /MeO-PBDEs. A total of 16 MeO-PBDEs, 11 OH-PBDEs, 1 diMeO-PBDE and 1 EtO-MeO-PBDE were synthesised. Three novel unsymmetrical diaryliodonium triflates were synthesised and used in synthesis. Optimisations were made to construct a reliable general method for congener specific PBDE synthesis, which was used in the synthesis of 8 representative PBDE congeners. The products were generally characterised by electron ionisation mass spectrometry (EIMS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.
