Campaigne, E. published the artcileCyclization of ylidenemalononitriles. VIII. Synthesis of coumarins from o-methoxybenzylidenemalonitriles, Formula: C9H9NO2, the main research area is coumarin; malononitrile benzylidene cyclization; cyclization benzylidenemalononitrile.
The coumarins I (R = H, Cl; R1 = H, 6-,7-,8-MeO) were prepared by direct cyclization of α-cyano-o-methoxycinnamates (II) in H2SO4. Alkoxy groups other than the o-methoxy group involved in lactone formation are not hydrolyzed during the reaction. The 3-cyano group on the resulting coumarin is not hydrated in concentrated H2SO4, but can be converted to the carbamido group in 90% sulfuric acid. In certain cases these conditions do cleave methoxy substituents on the coumarins. The indenones III can be obtained by cyclizing the II with BF3.Et2O.
Journal of Heterocyclic Chemistry published new progress about Cyclization. 5653-62-3 belongs to class nitriles-buliding-blocks, name is 2,3-Dimethoxybenzonitrile, and the molecular formula is C9H9NO2, Formula: C9H9NO2.
