The important role of 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, its application will become more common.

Reference of 1813-33-8,Some common heterocyclic compound, 1813-33-8, name is 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H3ClF3N, 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: A mixture of 2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)-benzonitrile (1.00 mmol), appropriate amine (NR2, 2.00 mmol),and DBU (2.5 mmol) were dissolved in 1,4-dioxane (8 ml). Themixture was stirred for 12 h at 50 C. The reaction was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc twice. The combined organicextracts were dried over MgSO4, filtered, and concentrated invacuo. The residue was purified by flash column chromatographyon silica gel using EtOAc/hexane (1:7-1:10) eluant condition.(NR2 = 4-(4-fluorophenyl)-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine hydrochloridefor 17).

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, its application will become more common.
