3939-09-1,Some common heterocyclic compound, 3939-09-1, name is 2,4-Difluorobenzonitrile, molecular formula is C7H3F2N, 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.
To a solution of methyl 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate (27 g, 215 mmol) in dimethylformamide (170 mL) was added sodium hydride (5.53 g, 95%, 217 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. Added to this was 2,4-difluorobenzylnitrile (30 g, 217 mmol) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temp for 60 h. The mixture was diluted with water and filtered to remove solids. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic layer was washed with water (3X’s) and brine, then dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2) eluting with 30% tetrahydroftiran/20% CH2Cl2/50% hexane to give the title compound as white needles (5.34 g, 10% yield). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) delta ppm: 8.92 (1H, s), 7.85 (1H, dd, J=8.8, 5.5 Hz), 7.67 (1H, dd, J=8.8, 2,6 Hz), 7.34-7.27 (1H, m), 40.3 (3H, s). LCMS [M+H]+ calcd for C11H8N4FO2: 247.06; found: 247.11.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3939-09-1, its application will become more common.
