Discovery of Dimethyl 2-cyanosuccinate

The synthetic route of 6283-71-2 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Electric Literature of 6283-71-2, These common heterocyclic compound, 6283-71-2, name is Dimethyl 2-cyanosuccinate, 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.

Sodium nitrite (1.32 g, 19.1 mmol) was added carefully to sulphuric acid (concentrated, 6.8 ml), whilst cooling the solution to 0° C. The solution was heated to 60° C. for 30 min, allowed to cool and then diluted with acetic acid (12 ml). To the solution was added Preparation 182 (5.0 mg, 17.4 mmol) in acetic acid (11 ml) and the reaction mixture was heated at 55° C. for 1 h. To a solution of Preparation 248 (3.09 g, 18.1 mmol) in acetic acid (24 ml) and water (36 ml) was added dropwise the solution of the diazonium salt, followed by sodium acetate (24.2 g) in water (42 ml). The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 30 min. The reaction mixture was poured into ice/water (200 ml) and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (4.x.60 ml). The combined extracts were then washed with ammonium hydroxide (48 ml), dried and concentrated in vacuo. To a solution of sodium methoxide (25 wt.percent, 11.5 ml, 50.1 mmol) in methanol (450 ml) was added dropwise a solution of the residue in methanol (100 ml). The reaction mixture was then stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and to the residue was added water. This solution was adjusted to pH 1 by addition of hydrochloric acid (4 N) and the mixture was extracted with dichloromethane (3.x.100 ml). The combined extracts were dried (MgSO4) and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by column chromatography, eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate [3: 1]. The appropriate fractions were combined and concentrated to give the titled compound (4.5 g). Experimental MH+ 379.8; expected 380.0

The synthetic route of 6283-71-2 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
