In 2019,Polyhedron included an article by Kumar, Atul; Zangrando, Ennio; Mukherjee, Partha Sarathi. Quality Control of 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide. The article was titled 《Self-assembled Pd3L2 cages having flexible tri-imidazole donors》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Four new M3L2 mol. cages (CA1-CA4) were synthesized in excellent yield via coordination driven self -assembly of flexible tri-imidazole donors based on imidazolylphenyltriazine (L1) and imidazolylphenylbenzene (L2) cores with 90° cis-blocked (tetramethylethylenediamine or bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene) metal acceptors of Pd(II). Two of them CA1 and CA2 are highly soluble in H2O. All the cages were characterized by spectroscopic studies and ESI-MS; CA3 and CA4 also by x-ray diffraction. Selective formation of cages CA3 and CA4 was noticed instead of a hetero-ligand cage, when the metal acceptor (dppf)Pd(OTf)2 was treated with a mixture of ligands L1 and L2.4-Cyanobenzyl bromide(cas: 17201-43-3Quality Control of 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide) was used in this study.
4-Cyanobenzyl bromide(cas: 17201-43-3) is used in the synthesis of ligands containing a chelating pyrazolyl-pyridine group with a pendant aromatic nitrile. It is also useful in the preparation of 4-[(2H-tetra-zol-2-yl)methyl]benzonitrile by reaction with 2H-tetrazole in the presence of potassium hydroxide.Quality Control of 4-Cyanobenzyl bromide
