Some tips on 16532-79-9

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. 16532-79-9, name is 4-Bromophenylacetonitrile, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., category: nitriles-buliding-blocks

To a solution of 4-bromophenyl acetonitrile (20 g, 102 mmol) in THF (20 mL) is added a solution of borane (1 M in THF, 300 mL) under a nitrogen atmosphere. The reaction mixture is stirred at 75 C overnight. It is cooled to room temperature and treated with 6 N HCl (500 mL) drop-wise and stirred further at room temperature for 5 h. The resulting mixture is washed with ethyl acetate and ethyl acetate is discarded. The aqueous layer is basified with sodium carbonate and then extracted with ethyl acetate several times. The combined organic layer is washed with water, dried (Na2SO4), and the solvent was removed under reduced pressure to obtain pale yellow oil without further purification (16 g, 78%).

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.
