Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 19924-43-7, name is 2-(3-Methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows., Formula: C9H9NO

Step 2: To 5 ml. of dry ethanol was added 0.73 g (31.84 mmol) of sodium metal (after removal of mineral oil with hexane) and the mixture was stirred at 45 C for 1 hour until the solution turned clear. A mixture of 3 g (20.38 mmol) of 3-(methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile and 3.9 g (28.66 mmol) of methyl isonicotinate in 26 ml. of dry ethanol was then added and the resulting brown solution was heated at reflux for 3 hours. After cooling, the residue was evaporated and purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with 9:1 to 4:1 methylene chloride/methanol to provide 1.75 g (34% yield) of 2-(3-methoxyphenyl)-3-oxo-3-pyridin-4-yl-propionitrile.

Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 19924-43-7.
