Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 22364-68-7, name is 2-(o-Tolyl)acetonitrile, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Recommanded Product: 2-(o-Tolyl)acetonitrile
General procedure: General: To a solution of phenylacetonitrile 1 (1.0 eq) in methyl formate (10 eq), THF was added. In anhydrous condition, solution of NaH (1.25 eq) in THF was added dropwise to the reaction mixture at 0 C and the resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature overnight. After the reaction, the mixture was quenched with H2O, and several drops of 1 N HCl were added until the pH of the solution is lowered to 4 to 5. Then the mixture was extracted with methylene chloride and dried with MgSO4. After filtration and evaporation, the resulting solution was concentrated under vacuum to give the product 2 as yellowish oil in 72%-100% yields.
The synthetic route of 22364-68-7 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
