These common heterocyclic compound, 403-54-3, name is 3-Fluorobenzonitrile, its 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. Formula: C7H4FN
(a) 3-Cyano-4-nitrofluorobenzene m-Fluorobenzonitrile (96.8 g., 0.8 mole) is added in two and one-half hours to a mixture of concentrated sulfuric acid (600 ml.) and potassium nitrate (80.9 g., 0.8 mole) at 3-6 C., then allowed to warm to 25 C. The mixture is poured over cracked ice (3000 ml.), extracted with chloroform (5*250 ml.), dried and the solvent removed. The residue is extracted with pentane and dried to give 3-cyano-4-nitrofluorobenzene (115 g., 86.5%) m.p. 102-104 C.
The synthetic route of 3-Fluorobenzonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
