In 2015,Chen, Jinju; Liu, Chuanxiang; Guan, Fengjie; Zhang, Chuanxiu; Ji, Kai; Wang, Xinyu; Xu, Min; Wu, Fanhong published 《Derivatives of α,α-Aryl Naphthalimide Nitriles as Fluoride Ion Sensors: Convenient Precursors for the Synthesis of Aryl Naphthalimide Ketones》.Synlett published the findings.Synthetic Route of C8H6BrN The information in the text is summarized as follows:
A facile and efficient SnAr procedure involving the displacement of activated naphthalimide bromides with the anions of substituted aryl acetonitriles was developed for the preparation of α,α-aryl naphthalimide nitrile derivatives, which can be used as fluoride ion sensors and convenient precursors for the synthesis of aryl naphthalimide ketones based on fluoride-induced deprotonation followed by autoxidative decyanation. After reading the article, we found that the author used 2-(3-Bromophenyl)acetonitrile(cas: 31938-07-5Synthetic Route of C8H6BrN)
According to other reports, 2-(3-Bromophenyl)acetonitrile(cas: 31938-07-5) is used in the preparation of diarylpyrimidines (DAPYs) as HIV-1 non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors.Synthetic Route of C8H6BrN
