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. 326-62-5 name is 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)acetonitrile, 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. 326-62-5
General procedure: A solution of aryl acetonitrile 2 (50 mg), and triethylamine (1.1 equiv.) in dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (0.5 mL, 3.76 mmol) was heated in a microwave reactor at 120 C for 20 minutes. The mixture was cooled to RT, and solvents were then evaporated. To the resulting crude product 3 was added hydrazine mono-hydrobromide (3.0 equiv.), 200 proof EtOH (1.0 mL), and H2O (0.3 mL). The mixture was heated in a microwave reactor at 120 C for 20 minutes. The mixture was cooled to RT and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was subjected to liquid-liquid extraction using saturated NaHCO3 (aq) and CH2Cl2. The organic layer was collected, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and removed under vacuum to afford 4.The resulting crude product 4 and 2-arylsubstitutedmalondialdehydes or 1,1,3,3tetramethoxypropane (1.0 equiv.) were dissolved in glacial AcOH (1.0 mL) and 200 proof EtOH (1.5 mL). The mixture was heated in a microwave reactor at 120 C for 20 minutes. After cooling on ice, the precipitate was collected on a fine scintered-glass frit and washed with icecold EtOH (2 x 1.0 mL). The resulting crystals 5-32 were dried and collected.
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)acetonitrile, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
