Synthetic Route of 501-00-8, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 501-00-8, name is 2-(3-Fluorophenyl)acetonitrile belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
General procedure: To a solution of 11a-c (10 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (15 mL) was added appropriate aryl acetonitriles (12 mmol). After stirring at -10C for about 15 min, 60% NaH (0.48 g, 12 mmol) was added portion wise under a nitrogen atmosphere and maintained at this condition for 1 h. Then, the resulting mixture was warmed slowly to room temperature and continued to react for 12-24 h. After that, additional NaH (0.48 g, 12 mmol) was added and the air was introduced, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for another 12-24 h to yield 13a-q. Without further purification, 13a-q were hydrolyzed with 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide at room temperature for 4 h, and afterwards, the mixture was poured into 300 ml H2O and neutralized with 3N HCl. The precipitate was collected and purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane: EtOAc=8:1-1:1) to afford the target compounds 7a-q.
The synthetic route of 2-(3-Fluorophenyl)acetonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
