Some common heterocyclic compound, 20249-16-5, name is 3-Oxocyclobutanecarbonitrile, molecular formula is C5H5NO, 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-Oxocyclobutanecarbonitrile
into a 500-mL round-bottom flask, was placed a solution of 3-oxocyclobutane-l-carbonitrile (4 g, 42.06 mmol, 1.00 eq.) tetra(propan-2-yloxy)titanium (14.16 g, 62.90 mmol, 1.50 eq.) and 2- methylpropane-2-sulfinamide (6.12 g, 50.49 mmol, 1.20 eq.) in tetrahydrofuran (200 mL). The resulting solution was stirred for 16 hours at 65C. The reaction was cooled to 25C. Then NaBH4 (3.2 g, 84.60 mmol, 2.00 eq.) was added. The mixture was stirred for 2 hours at 25C. The reaction was then quenched by the addition of 200 mL of water. The solids were filtered out and the resulting solution was extracted with ethyl acetate (2×200 mL) and the organic layers were combined. The resulting mixture was washed with brine (2×300 mL), dried over sodium sulfate and concentrated under vacuum. This resulted in 7.2 g (85%) of N-(3- cyanocyclobutyl)-2-methylpropane-2-sulfinamide as a yellow solid.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 20249-16-5, its application will become more common.
