Some common heterocyclic compound, 612-24-8, name is 2-Nitrobenzonitrile, molecular formula is C7H4N2O2, 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. HPLC of Formula: C7H4N2O2
General procedure: 2-Furonitrile 1m (186 mg, 2 mmol), NaN3 (260 mg, 4 mmol), BiCl3 (126 mg, 0.4 mmol), and 8 mL of a 3:1 isopropanol/water mixture were added to a 30-mL Pyrex microwave vessel, which was then capped. The microwave vessel was then placed in a Milestone Start Synth microwave reactor. The reaction was magnetically stirred and heated for 1 h at 150C. The reaction was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) using an ether/hexane mixture (typically 50/50) for development. The reaction mixture was then diluted with saturated aqueous sodium bicarbonate (20 mL) and was hed with ethyl acetate (2×15 mL). The aqueous sodium bicarbonate layer was cooled with ice and acidified to a pH of 2 or less with concentrated hydrochloric acid, which was added dropwise. The precipitate formed was extracted with ethyl acetate (3×15 mL). The combined organic layers were dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate and decanted into a tared round-bottom flask. The organic layer was concentrated under reduced pressure by rotary evaporation at 40C and then under high vacuum. The tetrazole product was recrystallized from ethyl acetate and hexane.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 612-24-8, its application will become more common.
