These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 4-Bromophenylacetonitrile, its application will become more common.
Reference of 16532-79-9,Some common heterocyclic compound, 16532-79-9, name is 4-Bromophenylacetonitrile, molecular formula is C8H6BrN, 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.
Step a) intermediate 20 Synthesis of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methylpropanenitrile.The preparation of 2-(4-bromophenyl)-2-methylpropanenitrile is carried out as described in J. Med. Chem. (1995), no 38, page 1608-1628. Sodium Hydride (60% susp. in oil, 6.66 g, 166.3 mmol) is added in many portions over 1 hour to 2-(4-bromophenyl)-acetonitrile (1Og, 51.0 mmol), dissolved in anhydrous DMF and methyl iodide (14.838g, 102.0 mmol) at 0 0C. This solution turns to a thick and brown orange paste. It is left stirring to slowly warm up to room temperature (18h). The organic solution is partitioned between water and ethyl acetate, separated, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and filtered. The solution is concentrated under reduced pressure and the resulting crude is purified on silicagel using a 0 to 20 % ethyl acetate in hexane gradient to yield the desired compound (4.9 g, 42%) as a clear oil. IH NMR (400 MHz, CHLOROFORM-D) delta ppm 1.71 (s, 6 H) 7.35 (d, /=8.79 Hz, 2 H) 7.52 (d, /=8.79 Hz, 2 H)
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 4-Bromophenylacetonitrile, its application will become more common.
