Electric Literature of 67515-59-7, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 67515-59-7 name is 4-Fluoro-3-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.

A mixture of 4-fluoro-3-trifluro-methylbenzonitrile (Fluorochem2223, 10 g, 52.8 mmol) and morpholine (9.25ml_, 105.7 mmol) was heated at 6O C under N2 for 8 hours. The mixture was cooled and diluted with water (100 ml_). The precipitate was filtered affording the title compound as a white solid (12.9 g, 95%). 1H NMR (CDCI3, 400 MHz) delta 7.92 (s, 1 H), 7.78- 7.81 (d, 1 H), 7.32-7.35 (d, 1 H), 3.84-3.87 (m, 4H), 3.04-3.06 (m, 4H). LC/MS (Method A): 257.1 (M+H)+. HPLC (Method B) Rt 3.61 min (Purity: 99.1%).
