Electric Literature of 138642-47-4, These common heterocyclic compound, 138642-47-4, name is 2-Bromo-5-methoxybenzonitrile, 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: To a mixture of substituted alcohol 1 (1 mmol) and substituted nitrile 2 (1 mmol), T3P 50 wt% in ethyl acetate (50 mol%) was added and stirred at 90 C. After the reactant disappeared (monitored by TLC), the reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, excess of water was added and extracted with ethyl acetate and combined organic layer was washed with brine, dried over Na2SO4 and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude product was purified by recrystallization using DCM: pet ether (1:9) mixture to get pure compound 3.
The synthetic route of 138642-47-4 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
