A new synthetic route of 4-Fluorobenzonitrile

In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, 4-Fluorobenzonitrile, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.

Electric Literature of 1194-02-1, 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. 1194-02-1, name is 4-Fluorobenzonitrile belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.

A 40% methylamine methanol solution (7.5 mL) was added to a methanol (2.5 mL) solution of 4-fluorobenzonitrile (2.00 g) and the mixture was heated under reflux for fifteen hours under nitrogen atmosphere. After the solvent was removed under reduced pressure, to the residue obtained was added water (15 mL) and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine successively, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The oil obtained by removal of the solvent under reduced pressure was purified by silica gel column chromatography (eluent; hexane : ethyl acetate = 2 : 1) to obtain the titled compound (0.48 g) as crystals.

In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, 4-Fluorobenzonitrile, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
