Reference of 3939-09-1,Some common heterocyclic compound, 3939-09-1, name is 2,4-Difluorobenzonitrile, molecular formula is C7H3F2N, 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.
To a solution of 2,4-difluorobenzonitrile (10 g, 72 mmol) dissolved in tetrahydrofuran (20 mL), and dimethylformamide (40 mL) was added the sodium salt of 1,2,4-triazole (6.3 g, 70 mmol) and the mixture was stirred at 90 C. for 3 h, filtered and concentrated. The residue was adsorbed onto Silica gel and purified by flash chromatography eluting with 0%-10%-30% ethylacetate/hexanes to give 4-fluoro-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile as colorless needles (2.46 g, 18%) and 4-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-2-fluorobenzonitril as a white solid (0.746 g, 6%). 4-Fluoro-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile. Colorless needles (2.46 g, 18% yield) 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) delta 8.89 (1H, s), 8.19 (1H, s), 7.85 (1H, dd, J=8.7, 5.6 Hz), 7.60 (1H, dd, J=8.8, 2.4 Hz), 7.28-7.24 (1H, m). LCMS (M+H) calcd for C9H6N4F: 189.05; found: 189.13. 4-(1H-1,2,4-Triazol-1-yl)-2-fluorobenzonitrile. White solid (0.746 g, 6% yield) 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3) delta 8.66 (1H, s), 8.15 (1H, s), 7.79 (1H, dd, J=8.5, 6.7 Hz), 7.69 (1H, dd, J=9.5, 1.8 Hz), 7.65-7.63 (1H, m). LCMS (M+H) calcd for C9H6N4F: 189.05; found: 189.13.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2,4-Difluorobenzonitrile, its application will become more common.
