Some common heterocyclic compound, 3598-13-8, name is 2-(4-Chlorophenoxy)acetonitrile, molecular formula is C8H6ClNO, 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. Computed Properties of C8H6ClNO
Step 1 (5-methoxy-2-nitrophenyl)-acetonitrile 24.0 g (214 mmol) potassium-tert-butoxide in 100 mL DMF were slowly added dropwise to a solution of 13.2 g (86.0 mmol) 4-nitroanisole and 18.0 g (107 mmol) 4-chlorophenoxyacetonitrile in 50 mL DMF. The reaction mixture was stirred for 30 min at -10 C. and then poured into 300 g of a 1:1 mixture of conc. hydrochloric acid and ice. After extraction with EtOAc the organic phase was washed with water, dried and evaporated to dryness by rotary evaporation in vacuo with gentle heating. The residue was treated with a 1:1 mixture of petroleum ether/EtOAc and the product that crystallised out was suction filtered. After washing with a 1:1 mixture petroleum ether/EtOAc the crystals were dried in the air. Yield: 6.5 g (39% of theoretical) ESI-MS: m/z=210 (M+NH4)+
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3598-13-8, its application will become more common.
