Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 3759-28-2, name is 2-(Cyanomethyl)benzonitrile, belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 3759-28-2, name: 2-(Cyanomethyl)benzonitrile
General procedure: A mixture of 1-aryl/alkyl-3,3-bis-methylsulfanyl-propenone (1.0 mmol), 2-cyanomethyl-benzonitrile (1 mmol, 142.0 mg), and powdered KOH (2 mmol, 112.0 mg) in dry DMSO (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Completion of reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion, reaction mixture was poured onto ice-water with constant stirring and then neutralized with 10% HCl. The precipitate obtained was filtered, washed with water and dried over dry sodium sulfate. Many compounds were purified by recrystallization in dry methanol. Some compounds were purified through column chromatography using 15% ethylacetate in hexane as an eluent. Characterization data for some of the synthesized compounds are reported earlier.17
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 2-(Cyanomethyl)benzonitrile, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
