Electric Literature of 6609-57-0,Some common heterocyclic compound, 6609-57-0, name is 2-Ethoxybenzonitrile, 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.
EXAMPLE III 2-Ethoxy-benzamidine hydrochloride 21.4 g (400 mmol) of ammonium chloride are suspended in 375 ml of toluene and the suspension is cooled down to 0 C. 200 ml of a 2 M solution of trimethylaluminum in hexane are added dropwise and the mixture is stirred at room temperature until the evolution of gas has come to an end. After 29.44 g (200 mmol) of 2-ethoxybenzonitrile (example II) have been added, the reaction mixture is stirred overnight at 80 C. (bath). Having been cooled down, the reaction mixture is added, while cooling with ice, to a suspension consisting of 100 g of silica gel and 950 ml of chloroform and the mixture is stirred at room temperature for 30 minutes. Filtration with suction is carried out and the subsequent washing takes place with the same quantity of methanol. The mother liquor is evaporated and the resulting residue is stirred up with a mixture of dichloromethane and methanol (9:1), after which the solid is filtered off with suction and the mother liquor is evaporated. 3.4 g (76%) of a colorless solid are obtained. 200 MHz 1H-NMR (DMSO-D6): 1.36, t, 3H; 4.12, quart., 2H; 7.10, t, 1H; 7.21, d, 1H; 7.52, m, 2H; 9.30, s, broad, 4H.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Ethoxybenzonitrile, its application will become more common.
