Some common heterocyclic compound, 3441-01-8, name is 3-Cyanobenzamide, molecular formula is C8H6N2O, 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. Quality Control of 3-Cyanobenzamide
General procedure: Amides (1 mmol) and Lawesson’s reagent (490 mg, 1.2 mmol) were added to dry THF (15 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, or heated under reflux for 5 h in the case of the 4-nitro derivative. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure and the residue was partitioned between aq NaHCO3 (25 mL) and ethyl acetate (25 mL). The organic solvent was separated and dried over anhydrous MgSO4. The crude product was further purified by silica gel flash chromatography, using hexane-ethyl acetate (4:1), to yield the corresponding thioamides as yellow solids (42-60percent). 4-Nitrothioamide (2ff),38 4-cyanothiobenzamide (2gg)39 and 3-cyanothiobenzamide (2hh),40 3-methoxythiobenzamide (2ii)41 have been previously reported.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3441-01-8, its application will become more common.
