Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 501-00-8, name is 2-(3-Fluorophenyl)acetonitrile, belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 501-00-8, Quality Control of 2-(3-Fluorophenyl)acetonitrile
General procedure: To a solution of 11a-c (10 mmol) in anhydrous DMF (15 mL) was added appropriate aryl acetonitriles (12 mmol). After stirring at -10C for about 15 min, 60% NaH (0.48 g, 12 mmol) was added portion wise under a nitrogen atmosphere and maintained at this condition for 1 h. Then, the resulting mixture was warmed slowly to room temperature and continued to react for 12-24 h. After that, additional NaH (0.48 g, 12 mmol) was added and the air was introduced, the mixture was stirred at room temperature for another 12-24 h to yield 13a-q. Without further purification, 13a-q were hydrolyzed with 30% aqueous sodium hydroxide at room temperature for 4 h, and afterwards, the mixture was poured into 300 ml H2O and neutralized with 3N HCl. The precipitate was collected and purified by column chromatography on silica gel (hexane: EtOAc=8:1-1:1) to afford the target compounds 7a-q.
