6393-40-4, Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 6393-40-4, name is 4-Amino-3-nitrobenzonitrile, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below.

To a stirred solution of 4-amino-3-nitro-benzonitrile (2.00 g, 12.3 mmol) in methanol (20 mL) was added Pd/C (500 mg, 10% purity), then the flask was degassed and filled with hydrogen three times, and the reaction mixture stirred vigorously under hydrogen (balloon) for 18 h at 25 C. The mixture wasevacuated and backfilled with nitrogen three times, then filtered through a pad of celite, and the filtrate concentrated in vacuo to give 3,4-diaminobenzonitrile (1 .47 g, 11 .04 mmol, 90 %) as a green oil that was used in next step directly.
