1,2,3‑Trimethoxy‑4‑phenylbenzene (also called TMB or Trimethoxyphenylbenzene)


A yellowish solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents such as dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, acetone and ethanol. It is commonly obtained by the alkylation of a phenol derivative with methyl iodide under basic conditions.

Synthetic Routes



1. Friedel–Crafts Alkylation of Phenol


Phenol + CH₃I (10 equiv.) + AlCl3 (20 % excess) → 2‑methoxy‑4‑methylphenol



Reaction Conditions: 0 °C to room temperature, 6–12 h.


Purification: Flash chromatography (silica gel, hexane/EtOAc gradient).




2. Methylation of Hydroxyl Group Followed by Friedel–Crafts Alkylation


Phenol + MeI (1.5 equiv.) → anisole
Anisole + CH₃I (10 equiv.) + AlCl3 (20 % excess) → 2‑methoxy‑4‑methylphenol



Advantages: Avoids over‑alkylation of the aromatic ring.







Key Reaction Conditions



Step Reagent Quantity (g, mmol) Solvent Temperature Time


Friedel–Crafts AlCl₃ (10 % excess over CH₃I) 0.75 g (5.25 mmol) None RT (20‑25 °C) 30 min


Add CH₃I 1.0 g (3.44 mmol) - - - -


Stir – – – – –


Quench H₂O (50 mL) – – – –


Extract EtOAc (3×30 mL) – – – –


Notes:





The reaction is run under anhydrous conditions; moisture can quench the reaction.


Use a sealed tube or Schlenk line to avoid exposure of CH₃I to air.


The final yield may be affected by incomplete extraction; ensure thorough extraction and proper drying over Na₂SO₄ before evaporation.






Answer:



The compound is 4‑chloro‑2‑methoxy‑5‑methylphenyl piperidine, with the piperidine nitrogen attached to the 4‑chloro‑2‑methoxy‑5‑methylphenyl ring. The reaction proceeds via a nucleophilic aromatic substitution (SNAr) of the chlorinated anisole by the amine, followed by protonation of the resulting aniline with HCl to give the hydrochloride salt. The detailed synthetic procedure is given above.
