626-17-5, Name is 1,3-Dicyanobenzene, 626-17-5, belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, is considered to be a conventional heterocyclic compound, which is widely used in drug synthesis. The chemical synthesis route is as follows.
EXAMPLE 11; The hydrogenation was conducted in the same manner as in Example 2 except for changing the starting solution to a mixture of 1 part by weight of the starting isophthalonitrile, 8 parts by weight of liquid ammonia and 1 part by weight of m-xylene. The first hydrogenation product solution discharged from the reaction tube A was sampled just before entering into the reaction tube B and analyzed by a gas chromatography. The conversion of the starting isophthalonitrile was 95.4 mol %, the selectivity of m-xylylenediamine was 84.5 mol %, and the selectivity of 3-cyanobenzylamine was 6.20 mol %. In addition, 83.6% of the total nitrile groups in the starting isophthalonitrile were hydrogenated to aminomethyl groups in the hydrogenation step 1. The second hydrogenation product solution and unreacted hydrogen gas were discharged from the outlet of the reaction tube B. The discharged second hydrogenation product solution was sampled and analyzed by a gas chromatography. The amount of 3-cyanobenzylamine was 0.057% by weight on the basis of the weight of m-xylylenediamine. The conversion of isophthalonitrile was 99.9 mol % or more, the selectivity of m-xylylenediamine was 90.6 mol % and the selectivity of 3-cyanobenzylamine was 0.0530 mol %, each being the overall value throughout the hydrogenation step 1 and the hydrogenation step 2. After evaporating off ammonia from the second hydrogenation product solution, the crude m-xylylenediamine was distilled under reduced pressure (125 C., 6 Torr). The purified product contained 99.94% by weight of m-xylylenediamine and 580 ppm by weight of 3-cyanobenzylamine when determined by a gas chromatography.
Statistics shows that 1,3-Dicyanobenzene is playing an increasingly important role. we look forward to future research findings about 626-17-5.
