Continuously updated synthesis method about 5-Methyl-2-nitrobenzonitrile

The synthetic route of 64113-86-6 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Synthetic Route of 64113-86-6, A common heterocyclic compound, 64113-86-6, name is 5-Methyl-2-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.

5-Methyl-2-nitrobenzonitrile (1.92 g, 11.84 mmol) was added in portions to a stirred solution of SnCl2 (11.22 g, 59.2 mmol) in conc. HCl (12 mL) and EtOH (12 mL). The reaction temperature was maintained at 20-30 C. using an ice bath. The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 1 h and poured into an ice cold aqueous solution of NaOH (6N, app. 30 mL) to neutralize to pH7. The product was extracted into EtOAc, washed with brine, dried over MgSO4 and concentrated to provide the title product (1.56 g, 99%) as a yellow-brown solid. 1H NMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) delta 2.21 (s, 3H), 5.79 (bs, 2H), 6.68-6.71 (d, 1H), 7.10-7.13 (dd, 1H), 7.15 (s, 1H). 13C NMR (DMSO-d6) delta 20.13, 93.99, 116.12, 118.94, 125.38, 132.32, 135.76, 150.21. MS 133 (MH+).

The synthetic route of 64113-86-6 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
