These common heterocyclic compound, 13388-75-5, name is 2-(3,5-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetonitrile, its traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route. 13388-75-5
General procedure: A 50 mL round-bottomed flask was charged with 3 (0.177 g, 1 mmol), aromatic aldehyde or substituted aromatic aldehyde (1 mmol) and 10 mL methanol with stirring, and the mixture was heated to 60 C. After 30 min, sodium methoxide (0.027 g, 0.5 mmol) was added to the mixture and keep the temperature for 4-6 h. After completion of the reaction as indicated by TLC, the reaction mixture was cooled to RT, and the precipitate was separated by filter and recrystallized from methanol to give 4a-4z and 5a-5d.
Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 13388-75-5.
