Application of 3759-28-2,Some common heterocyclic compound, 3759-28-2, name is 2-(Cyanomethyl)benzonitrile, molecular formula is C9H6N2, 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: 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
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-(Cyanomethyl)benzonitrile, its application will become more common.
