Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 5-Bromovaleronitrile

The synthetic route of 5414-21-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Related Products of 5414-21-1, A common heterocyclic compound, 5414-21-1, name is 5-Bromovaleronitrile, molecular formula is C5H8BrN, 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.

General procedure: To a solution of the tetrabutylammonium salt of 10-methylthio-7,8-dicarba-nido-caborane [1] (0.40 g, 0.95 mmol) in ethanol (10ml) chloroacetonitrile (0.06 ml, 0.95 mmol) was added. After stirring for 15 min, r.t., the mixture was heated under reflux for about 15 h and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The column chromatography on silica gel was used for the purification of the substance with CH2Cl2 as an eluent. Finally the solvent was removed in a vacuum to yield white solid (0.14 g, 68% yield).

The synthetic route of 5414-21-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
