Electric Literature of 29509-06-6, A common heterocyclic compound, 29509-06-6, name is 4-Methyl-3-oxopentanenitrile, molecular formula is C6H9NO, 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.
Hydroxylamine hydrochloride (10.3 g, 148 mmol) was slowly added to an ice cold solution of NaOH (25.9 g, 645 mmol) in water (73 mL) and the resulting solution was poured into a solution of crude 3-oxo-4-methylpentanenitrile while stirring. The resulting yellow solution was heated at 50 C for 2.5 hours to produce a less dense yellow oil. The warm reaction mixture was immediately extracted with CHCl3 (3 x 100 mL) without cooling. The combined organic layers were dried (MgSO4), and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting oily yellow solid was filtered through a pad of silica (10% acetone/90% CH2Cl2) to afford the desired isoxazole as a yellow solid (11.3 g, 70%): mp 63-65 C; TLC Rf (5% acetone/95% CH2Cl2) 0.19; 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6) d 1.12 (d, J=7.0 Hz, 6H), 2.72 (sept,J=7.0 Hz, 1H), 4.80 (s, 2H), 6.44 (s, 1H); FAB-MS m/z (rel abundance) 127 ((M+H)+; 67%).
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.
