Electric Literature of 3939-09-1, A common heterocyclic compound, 3939-09-1, name is 2,4-Difluorobenzonitrile, molecular formula is C7H3F2N, 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.
To a solution of NaH (1.2 g, 30 mmol) in toluene (50 mL) was added but-3-en-1- ol (1.8 g, 25 mmol) dropwise and the mixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 30 minutes. 2,4-Difluorobenzonitrile (4.2 g, 30 mmol) was then added in one portion and themixture was allowed to stir at room temperature for 6 hours. Water (30 mL) was slowly added and the mixture was extracted with EtOAc and washed with brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and concentrated in vacuo. The crude residue was purified using flash column chromatograpy on silica gel (20:1 PE:EtOAc) to provide compound Tnt-2b (4.2 g, 78%) as a yellow oil. ?H NMR (400 MHz, CDC13) 7.51-7.53 (m, 1H), 7.20-7.25 (m, 1H), 6.79-6.81 (m, 1H), 5.85-5.89 (m, 1H), 5.05-5.11 (m, 2H), 4.05-4.11 (m, 2H), 2.47-2.5 1 (m, 2H)
The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
