Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 3598-14-9, name is Phenoxyacetonitrile, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Quality Control of Phenoxyacetonitrile
(a) 5 millimoles (0.665 g) of phenoxy-acetonitrile are dissolved in 8 ml of anhydrous toluene at 0 C., under an argon atmosphere 7.5 millimoles of a toluenic solution 1.5 M of diisobutylaluminum hydride (5 ml) are added dropwise, at this temperature. The stirring is maintained for 1 hour at 0 C., then 5.9 ml (1.3 eq) of diethylaluminum cyanide are added. The reaction mixture is stirred for 3 hours at room temperature, then hydrolyzed with 4 ml of methanol and pasty sodium sulfate. After purification by high pressure liquid chromatography on silica, there are obtained 0.182 g of 2-amino-3-phenoxy-propionitrile, in form of a cream-colored solid-state product; M.P. 65 C., yield: 22%.
The synthetic route of 3598-14-9 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
