Introduction of a new synthetic route about 2-(3-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile

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.

Related Products of 1080-74-6, A common heterocyclic compound, 1080-74-6, name is 2-(3-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile, molecular formula is C12H6N2O, 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.

General procedure: Compound III (150 mg, 0.16 mmol) and malononitrile(43 mg, 0.65 mmol) were dissolved in CHCl3 (30 mL), then 3 drops ofpiperidine were added. The mixed solution was degassed for 10 min bybubbling nitrogen. The reaction solution was heated at 65 C for 10 h.After completing, the solution was cooled to room temperature. Thesolvent was removed, and the solid crude product was obtained bymethanol precipitation. The crude product was purified by silica gelcolumn chromatography by using CHCl3 as the eluent to obtain a darkredsolid (122 mg, 74%).

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.
