Some common heterocyclic compound, 1813-33-8, name is 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H3ClF3N, 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. name: 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile
General procedure: A mixture of 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-benzonitrile (1.00 mmol) and appropriate thiol (RSH, 3.00 mmol),18-crown-6-ether (cat.) and potassium carbonate (2.00 mmol)were dissolved in acetonitrile (3 ml). The mixture was refluxedfor 12 h and then cooled to ambient temperature. The mixturewas quenched by adding water and extracted with EtOAc.Extracted organic compound was dried over MgSO4, filtered, andconcentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by flash columnchromatography on silica gel using EtOAc/hexane (1:4) eluantcondition. (RSH = CH3CO2(CH2)2SH for 42).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 1813-33-8, its application will become more common.
