In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 14447-18-8, name is Benzyl cyanoacetate belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. HPLC of Formula: C10H9NO2
General procedure: A 100-mL round-bottom flask equipped with a stir bar is charged with dimethyl malonate (2.0 g, 15.0 mmol), crotonaldehyde (1.3 mL, 15.0 mmol), piperidine (0.2 mL, 3.0 mmol), benzoic acid (0.4 g, 3.0 mmol) and toluene (50 mL). The reaction mixture is heated at reflux using a Dean-Stark apparatus for 2 h. The toluene solution is washed with water, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated in vacuo. The crude product is purified by silica gel column chromatography eluting with hexanes/ethyl acetate (20/1) to afford 1a (1.7 g, 60% yield) as a red liquid.
The synthetic route of 14447-18-8 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
