Electric Literature of 3556-60-3,Some common heterocyclic compound, 3556-60-3, name is 3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzonitrile, molecular formula is C9H9NO, 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.
To a solution of 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzonitrile (300 mg, 2.03 mmol) in 10 ml ethanol was added hydroxylammonium chloride (212 mg, 3.06 mmol) and triethylamine (268 mg, 2.65 mmol) and then the reaction mixture was stirred overnight at 50 C. After cooling to RT, the solvent was evaporated and the crude was solved in ethyl acetate and extracted with water and brine solution. The organic phase was dried over magnesium sulfate, filtered and evaporated under vacuum to yield the title compound (274 mg, 75 % of theory). LC-MS (method IB): RT = 0.33 min, m/z = 181 (M+H)+
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzonitrile, its application will become more common.
