4-Methylsulphonylphenylacetic acid Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

yellow to beige-brown crystalline powder

Uses

4-(Methylsulfonyl)phenylacetic acid is an important raw material and intermediate used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals agrochemicals and dyestuff fields.

Preparation

synthesis of 4-(Methylsulfonyl)phenylacetic acid: 1-(4-Methanesulfonyl-phenyl)-ethanone (20 mmol), morpholine (60 mmol) and elemental sulfur (40 mmol) were added in a round-bottom flask and refluxed for 2 h at 398 K. A 3N solution of NaOH (20 ml) was then added, and the reaction mixture refluxed for an additional 30 min. After cooling, the mixture was filtered and the filtrate was acidified with HCl to pH 6. The solution was again filtered off and washed with ethyl acetate. The resulting aqueous fraction was finally acidified with diluted HCl, to yield the pure product as a white solid. Crystals suitable for X-ray analysis were obtained by slow evaporation of an ethanol/water (1:1 v/v) solution.

Application

4-(Methylsulfonyl)phenylacetic Acid is an intermediate used to prepare heterocyclic diaryl compounds as selective COX-2 inhibitors. It is also used to synthesize hydroxyfuranones as antioxidants and antiinflammatory agents.

General Steps: Scheme I (c) Synthesis of Intermediate-9 Reagents and conditions: i) Methanol, concentrated sulfuric acid, reflux, 3 hours; ii) Methyl iodide, potassium carbonate, N,N-dimethylformamide, room temperature, 3 hrs; iii) m-chloroperbenzoic acid, dichloromethane, room temperature, 12 hours; iv) sodium hydroxide, methanol, water, room temperature, 12 hours. Step iv: Synthesis of 2-(4-(methylsulfonyl)phenyl)acetic acid The method of step-v of Scheme 1 (a) was used to obtain the title compound [0.56 g, 51% yield]. NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 12.58 (s, 1H), 7.88-7.85 (m, 2H), 7.54-7.52 (m, 2H), 3.73 (s, 2H), 3.20 (s, 3H). Step v: Synthesis of 2-(4-(ethylsulfonyl)phenyl)acetic acid To a 50mL round bottom flask was added ethyl 2-(4-(ethylsulfonyl)phenyl)acetate (2.5g, 0.0098mol) and ethanol (18mL). To the same flask was added aqueous sodium hydroxide (1.42 g, 0.0355 mol, dissolved in 18 mL of water) and then stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. The volatiles were evaporated under reduced pressure to give a residue. The residue was acidified with dilute hydrochloric acid to pH 5.0. The organic layer was extracted with ethyl acetate, separated, washed with brine, dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and evaporated under reduced pressure to give the title compound [2.4 g, 91% yield]. NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6): δ 12.5 (brs, 1H), 7.84 (d, 2H), 7.56 (d, 2H), 3.74 (s, 2H), 3.13 (q, 2H), 1.20 (t, 3H).
