As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 64113-84-4 name is 2-Fluoro-5-methylbenzonitrile, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below. 64113-84-4

Combine 4-fluoro-2-nitro-phenylamine (2.9g, 18.50 mmol), 2-fluoro-5-methyl- benzonitrile (2. 5g, 18.50 mmol) and lithium hydroxide monohydrate (2.4g, 57.20 mmol) in methyl sulfoxide (DMSO, 40 ml). Heat the resulting mixture to 55 [C] for 40 hours. Cool the reaction mixture to ambient temperature, then pour into approximately 250 ml of ice water and stir for one hour. Filter the resulting mixture and collect the precipitate. Chromatograph the solid using flash chromatography and elute with mobile phase: 90% hexanes, 5% ethyl acetate, and 5% dichloromethane to obtain 2.267g of the title compound (8.36 mmol, 45% yield) as an orange amorphous solid: Mass Spectrum [(M/E)] : 272 (M+1).
