3,5-dimethylbenzo[b]thiophene

3,5-Dimethylbenzo [b] thiophene, which is an organic compound with specific physical properties. Its appearance is mostly crystalline solid, stable at room temperature and pressure, and its melting and boiling point is of great significance for its separation, purification and application. Its melting point is about 39-41 ° C. At this temperature, the solid state turns to liquid state. The boiling point is about 274-275 ° C. At this temperature, the liquid state becomes gaseous.
From the perspective of solubility, it is difficult to dissolve in water, because water is a polar molecule, while 3,5-dimethylbenzo [b] thiophene molecules are weak in polarity. According to the principle of "similar miscibility", the two are difficult to miscible. However, it is soluble in common organic solvents, such as ether, chloroform, benzene, etc. In organic synthesis and analytical chemistry, these organic solvents are commonly used to dissolve, extract or act as reaction media.
In addition, 3,5-dimethylbenzo [b] thiophene is volatile to a certain extent. Although it evaporates slowly at room temperature, under high temperature or specific conditions, the volatilization intensifies. Its vapor density is greater than that of air. If it leaks, the steam will spread close to the ground, so pay attention to safety precautions. When storing and using, because of its flammability, it is flammable in case of open flame and hot topic. It must be kept away from fire and heat sources. Store in a cool and well-ventilated place and operate according to relevant safety procedures to prevent fires and other accidents.

3% 2C5 -dimethylbenzo [b] thiophene, which has unique chemical properties. It is aromatic, because its structure contains benzene ring and thiophene ring. According to the Hueckel rule, the planar cyclic conjugated system containing 4n + 2 π electrons is aromatic. This molecule conforms to this rule, so the chemical properties are relatively stable, and electrophilic substitution reactions can occur, such as halogenation, nitration, sulfonation, etc. Taking the halogenation reaction as an example, under the action of a suitable catalyst such as iron trichloride, it can react with halogens, and halogen atoms replace hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring or thiophene ring.
Its thiophene ring has certain sulfur heterocyclic properties. The electronegativity of sulfur atoms is different from that of carbon atoms, resulting in uneven distribution of electron clouds on the ring. Due to the conjugation of solitary pair electrons of sulfur atoms, the electron cloud density of thiophene ring is slightly higher than that of benzene ring, the electrophilic substitution reactivity is slightly higher than that of benzene ring, and the reaction check point is selective, usually the α-position is more reactive.
From the perspective of stability, although it is aromatic, the presence of methyl groups has an impact on its properties. Methyl groups are power supply groups, which can increase the electron cloud density of benzene ring and thiophene ring, further affecting the reaction activity and selectivity. In the oxidation reaction, it can be oxidized by specific oxidants, and sulfur atoms may be oxidized to sulfoxides or sulfones. < Br >

The common synthesis methods of 3,5-dimethylbenzo [b] thiophene are as follows:
can be reacted with 3-chloro-2-methylpropene by o-methylthiophenol and 3-chloro-2-methylpropene under the action of base, first forming thioether intermediates, and then under appropriate conditions for cyclization. This process requires controlling the reaction temperature and the amount of base. The base can be selected from potassium carbonate, etc., and the reaction is carried out in an organic solvent such as N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF). The reaction temperature is suitable between 60-80 ° C for several hours to promote the thioetherization reaction to proceed fully. The cyclization step requires a specific catalyst and a suitable reaction environment, and the yield is optimized by adjusting the reaction parameters.
Another approach is to use sulfur-containing aromatic derivatives to couple with appropriate olefins or halogenated hydrocarbons under the catalysis of metal catalysts, and then to construct the structure of benzothiophene by intramolecular cyclization. For example, palladium catalysts are used in suitable solvents such as toluene in the presence of ligands, at a certain temperature (100-120 ° C) and in an inert gas protective atmosphere. After the reaction is completed, the target product 3,5-dimethylbenzo [b] thiophene is obtained by means of separation and purification. The purification can be achieved by column chromatography or the like, and the separation can be achieved according to the differences in the physical and chemical properties of the product and the impurities.
