Application of 874-89-5, A common heterocyclic compound, 874-89-5, name is 4-(Hydroxymethyl)benzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H7NO, 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.
A solution of 25.0 g (150 mmol) of 4- (hydroxymethyl) benzonitrile, 20.8 g (300 mmol) of hydroxyamine hydrochloride and 50.4 g (600 mmol) of sodium bicarbonate in 250 [ML] of methanol was heated to reflux and stirred for 20 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to rt and filtered. The solid was washed with 100 mL of methanol. The combined methanol solution was concentrated to dryness to afford [31.] 0 g (99 %) of the title compound: 1H NMR (400 Mhz, CD30D) [8] 4.63 (s, 2H), 7.39 (d, J= 8.0, 2H), 7.62 (d, J= 8.0, 2H).
The synthetic route of 874-89-5 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
