New learning discoveries about 2-(Cyanomethyl)benzonitrile

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.

Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 3759-28-2, name is 2-(Cyanomethyl)benzonitrile, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Formula: C9H6N2

General procedure: A mixture of 1-aryl/alkyl-3,3-bis-methylsulfanyl-propenone (1.0 mmol), 2-cyanomethyl-benzonitrile (1 mmol, 142.0 mg), and powdered KOH (2 mmol, 112.0 mg) in dry DMSO (5 mL) was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. Completion of reaction was monitored by TLC. After completion, reaction mixture was poured onto ice-water with constant stirring and then neutralized with 10% HCl. The precipitate obtained was filtered, washed with water and dried over dry sodium sulfate. Many compounds were purified by recrystallization in dry methanol. Some compounds were purified through column chromatography using 15% ethylacetate in hexane as an eluent. Characterization data for some of the synthesized compounds are reported earlier.17
