Simple exploration of 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile

The synthetic route of 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

These common heterocyclic compound, 1813-33-8, name is 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, 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. COA of Formula: C8H3ClF3N

General procedure: A mixture of 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-benzonitrile (1.00 mmol) and appropriate thiol (RSH, 3.00 mmol),18-crown-6-ether (cat.) and potassium carbonate (2.00 mmol)were dissolved in acetonitrile (3 ml). The mixture was refluxedfor 12 h and then cooled to ambient temperature. The mixturewas quenched by adding water and extracted with EtOAc.Extracted organic compound was dried over MgSO4, filtered, andconcentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash columnchromatography on silica gel using EtOAc/hexane (1:4) eluantcondition. (RSH = CH3CO2(CH2)2SH for 42).

The synthetic route of 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
