Reference of 42872-83-3,Some common heterocyclic compound, 42872-83-3, name is 2-Bromo-5-methylbenzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H6BrN, 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 mixture of 2-Bromobenzonitrile (183.4 mg, 1 mmol), benzaldehyde (210.5 mg, 2 mmol),CuCl2 (17.2 mg, 0.1 mmol), Cs2CO3 (652.2 mg, 2 mmol), and L-proline (23.2 mg, 0.2 mmol) in H2O(2 mL) was added 27% aqueous ammonia (1 mL) in a tube under air atmosphere. Then the tubewas sealed, and the mixture was stirred at 100 C for 12 h. Next, the tube was opened to air and themixture was stirred at 100 C for another 12 h. After being cooled to room temperature, the resultingmixture was quenched with NH4Cl solution and extracted with ethyl acetate. The combined organiclayer was washed with brine, and then dried over anhydrous Na2SO4. The solvent was evaporatedunder reduced pressure and the crude product was purified by chromatography on silica-gel to afford2-phenylquinazolin-4(3H)-one (4aa) in 75% isolated yield.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Bromo-5-methylbenzonitrile, its application will become more common.
