Application of 77532-79-7,Some common heterocyclic compound, 77532-79-7, name is 5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H6FN, 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.
2-(Bromomethyl-5-fluorobenzonitrile. N2 was passed through a mixture of 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile (28.51 g, 211 mmol), NBS (41.31 g, 232 mmol) and AIBN (2.5 g, 15 mmol) in CCl4 (845 mL) for 10 min after which the reaction was heated at reflux for 8 h. After standing at room temperature overnight, the reaction mixture was filtered and the filter cake washed with CCl4 (500 mL). The combined filtrate was evaporated to give a yellow oil. Flash chromatography (SiO2) using 5-25% ethyl acetate/Hexanes as eluent afforded the title compound (29.74 g, 66% yield) as a pale yellow oil. 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) delta: 7.55 (1H, dd, J=8.6, 5.2 Hz), 7.37 (1H, dd, J=7.9, 2.8 Hz), 7.32-7.28 (1H, m), 4.61 (2H, s).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 5-Fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile, its application will become more common.
