Continuously updated synthesis method about 3-Acetylbenzonitrile

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 3-Acetylbenzonitrile, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

6136-68-1, 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. 6136-68-1 name is 3-Acetylbenzonitrile, 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.

A solution of n-BuLi (20.0 mL, 2.5 M, 50.0 mmol) was added to a solution of PPh3MeI (20.2 g, 50.0 mmol) in THF (200 mL) at -10 C. After the mixture was stirred at -10 C for 1 h, 3-acetylbenzonitrile (4.85 g, 33.4 mmol) was added. The mixture was allowed to warm up to r.t. and stirred at r.t. for 3 h. Water (400 mL) was added to the reaction mixture and it was extracted with CH2Cl2 (200 mL x 2). It was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and purified by column chromatography (PE: EtOAc = 50: 1) to give the titled compound (3.4 g, 79%).
