Electric Literature of 447-60-9,Some common heterocyclic compound, 447-60-9, name is 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H4F3N, 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.
45.3 ml of a 1.8 M lithium diisopropylamide THF solution (81.6 mmol) was diluted with 68 ml of THF. Thereafter, 28 ml of a THF solution containing 5.0 g (27.2 mmol) of the 5-chloro-2,N-dimethylbenzamide prepared in Step A was added dropwise to the diluted solution at -78C. Thereafter, 28 ml of a THF solution containing 4.65 g (27.2 mmol) of 2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile was further added thereto, and the obtained mixture was then stirred at -78C for 2.5 hours. The temperature of the reaction solution was increased to a room temperature, and a saturated ammonium chloride aqueous solution was added thereto, followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The extract was washed with a saturated saline solution, and was then dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. Thereafter, a solid generated as a result of vacuum concentration was filtrated, so as to obtain 6.87 g (78%) of 7-chloro-3-(2-trifluoromethylphenyl)-2H-isoquinolin-1-one in the form of a colorless solid. 1H-NMR (270MHz, CDCl3) delta (ppm): 6.49 (1H, s), 7.33-7.72 (5H, m), 7.81-7.84 (1H, d, J=7.26Hz), 8.32-8.33 (1H, d, J=1.65Hz), 9.18 (1H, brs) ESI (LC-MS positive mode) m/z 324 (M+H).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, its application will become more common.
