Synthetic Route of 76469-88-0, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 76469-88-0 name is Methyl 4-(cyanomethyl)benzoate, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.
A 100 mL flask was charged with methyl 4-(cyanomethyl)benzoate (1 g, 5.7 mmol), acetonitrile (46 mL), cesium carbonate (5.6 g, 17 mmol) and 1,2-dibromoethane (1.3 g, 5.8 mmol). The resulting suspension was stirred at 80C for three hours, cooled at room temperature and quenched with water (30 mL). The aqueous mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate (2 × 20 mL), the combined organic phases were washed with water (5 mL), brine (5 mL), dried with Na2SO4, filtered and evaporated. Purification by chromatography over silica gel (cyclohexane/ethyl acetate gradient, 1:01:1) affords methyl 4-(1-cyanocyclopropyl)benzoate. (0527) 1H-NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3): d = 8.05-8.00 (m, 2H), 7.37-7.33 (m, 2H), 3.93 (s, 3H), 1.85-1.80 (m, 2H), 1.51-1.47 (m, 2H); ); (0528) LC-MS (method 1): Rt 0.87, m/z = 202 (M+1).
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, Methyl 4-(cyanomethyl)benzoate, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
