13338-63-1, These common heterocyclic compound, 13338-63-1, name is 3,4,5-Trimethoxyphenylacetonitrile, 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.
General procedure: In the first synthetic step (step a, Scheme 1), a series of (Z)-substituted diarylacrylonitrile analogues were synthesized by reacting substituted benzyl carbaldehydes with their corresponding substituted phenylacetonitriles in 5% NaOMe in methanol. The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2-3 h for the reaction to complete and the final product precipitated of the solution. The precipitate was filtered, washed with water and dried to yield the final compound in yields ranging from 70 to 95% (Scheme 1) [16].
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 13338-63-1.
