Electric Literature of 1009-35-4, Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 1009-35-4, name is 4-Fluoro-3-nitrobenzonitrile, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.

A mixture of 4-fluoro-3-nitrobenzonitrile (5.0 g, 30.1 mmol) and Fe powder (5.05 g, 90.3 mmol) in AcOH (100 mL) was heated at 80 C. for 1 hour under N2. Then the solvent was removed under vacuum and water (200 mL) was added to the residue. The solution was adjusted to pH 6 by addition of Na2CO3 and extracted with DCM (2×200 mL). The organic layers were combined, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated to yield 3-amino-4-fluorobenzonitrile (48), which was used without further purification. MS m/z 137.0 (M+1)+.; To a stirring suspension of imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxylic acid (1) (3.0 g, 18.5 mmol) in anhydrous dichloromethane (50 mL) at 0 C. was added dropwise oxalyl chloride (4.84 mL, 55.5 mmol). Then, three drops of anhydrous DMF was added and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes. The solvent was concentrated and the crude solid was added to a stirring solution of 3-amino-4-fluorobenzonitrile (48) (2.5 g, 18.5 mmol) in anhydrous pyridine (50 mL) at room temperature. The reaction was stirred for 20 minutes and quenched with water (200 mL) with stirring for another 10 minutes. Then the precipitate was filtered and dried in air to yield N-(5-cyano-2-fluorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (49). 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) delta 10.40 (s, 1H), 9.43 (td, J=1.2, 6.8 Hz, 1H), 8.63 (s, 1H), 8.21 (dd, J=2.0, 7.2 Hz, 1H), 7.78-7.84 (m, 2H), 7.54-7.63 (m, 2H), 7.22 (dt, J=1.2, 6.8, 1H). MS m/z 281.1 (M+1)+.; NH2OH (10 mL, 32.1 mmol) was added in one portion to a stirred suspension of N-(5-cyano-2-fluorophenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (49) (3.6 g, 12.85 mmol) in EtOH (100 mL). The resulting suspension was heated at 70 C. for 3 hours and then the solvent was removed to yield N-(2-fluoro-5-(N?-hydroxycarbamimidoyl)phenyl)imidazo[1,2-a]pyridine-3-carboxamide (50). 1H NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) delta 10.21 (s, 1H), 9.70 (s, 1H), 9.45 (td, J=1.2, 7.2 Hz, 1H), 8.61 (s, 1H), 7.95 (dd, J=2.4, 7.6 Hz, 1H), 7.79 (td, J=1.2, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.51-7.60 (m, 2H), 7.31-7.37 (m, 1H), 7.19 (dt, J=1.2, 6.8, 1H), 5.88 (s, 2H). MS m/z 314.1 (M+1)+.
