Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 13544-06-4

The synthetic route of 2-(2-Nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Related Products of 13544-06-4, In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 13544-06-4, name is 2-(2-Nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetonitrile belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.

EXAMPLE 155 Methyl-[2-(6-trifluoromethyl-1H-indol-3-yl)-cyclopropylmethyl]-amine The commercially available (2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylphenyl) acetonitrile (14.0 g, 60.8 mmol) was dissolved in 9:1 EtOH:H2O (50 mL) and glacial acetic acid (1.4 mL). This mixture was hydrogenated over 10% Pd/C (5.0 g) at 50 psi for 16 h at room temperature. The reaction was filtered over celite and evaporated in vacuo. The residue was partitioned between saturated aqueous sodium carbonate and dichloromethane (2*200 mL) and the combined organic extract was dried over sodium sulfate, filtered, and concentrated in vacuo. The crude material was purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexanes/ethyl acetate, 20:1, 9:1, 5:1) to afford 12.9 g (65% yield) of 6-trifluoromethyl-1H-indole as a yellow solid: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) 8.36, (1H, br s), 7.72 (2 H, m), 7.37 (2 H, m), 6.63 (1 H, m); MS m/e 184 (M-H)-. Anal calcd. for C9H6F3N: C, 58.38; H, 3.26; N, 7.56. Found: C, 58.30; H, 2.92; N, 7.49.
