New downstream synthetic route of 4-Bromo-2-ethoxybenzonitrile

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.

Reference of 1255870-63-3, A common heterocyclic compound, 1255870-63-3, name is 4-Bromo-2-ethoxybenzonitrile, molecular formula is C9H8BrNO, its 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.

A suspension of 4-bromo-2-ethoxybenzonitrile (1.50 g, 6.5 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (913 mg, 13 mmol) and NaHCOs (1.365 g, 16.3 mmol) in water (1.32 mL) and EtOH (26.6 mL) is stirred in a sealed tube at 90C for 6h. Once at RT, the product precipitated from the RM upon addition of water. The solid is filtered off under high vacuum, washing with water and some EfeO. A first crop of pure title compound (947 mg) was thus obtained as white solid. The filtrate is extracted with EtOAc. The organic layer is then washed twice with brine, dried over MgS04, filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified by FC (hept/EtOAc 1 :1) to yield another crop of the pure title compound as a white solid (448 mg), merged with the first batch from precipitation. The title compound is obtained as a white solid (1.395 g, 83%). LC-MS B: tR = 0.53min, [M+H]+ = 259.12.

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
