Some tips on 2-Methyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile

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.

Synthetic Route of 939-83-3, A common heterocyclic compound, 939-83-3, name is 2-Methyl-5-nitrobenzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H6N2O2, 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 mixture of 2-cyano-4-nitrotoluene (10 g, 6.17 mmol) benzaldehyde (6.51 g, 6.17 mmol) and potassium carbonate (20 g) in MeOH (200 mL) was heated at reflux for 10 min. The mixture was cooled to ambient temperature over 30 min, whereupon precipitation of the product was complete. The product was isolated by filtration and washed successively with 1N HCl, water and MeOH then air dried. There was obtained 13.0 g of the benzamide (mp 269.8 C) as evident from the lack of a nitrile adsorption in the IR and the appearance of peaks at 3357.1, 3193.6 (-NH2) and 1648.7 cm-1 (H2NC(=O)-); LRMS (M-NO)+ m/z = 238.
