These common heterocyclic compound, 1255870-63-3, name is 4-Bromo-2-ethoxybenzonitrile, 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. Formula: C9H8BrNO
A suspension of 4-bromo-2-ethoxybenzonitrile (1.50 g, 6.5 mmol), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (913 mg, 13 mmol) and NaHCOs (1.365 g, 16.3 mmol) in water (1.32 mL) and EtOH (26.6 mL) is stirred in a sealed tube at 90 C for 3h. Once at RT, the product precipitated from the RM upon addition of water. The solid is filtered off under high vacuum, washing with water and some Et20. A first crop of pure title compound (947mg) was thus obtained as white solid. The filtrate is extracted with AcOEt. The organic layer is then washed twice with brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated. The residue is purified by FC (hept AcOEt 5:5) to yield another crop of the pure title compound as a white solid (448 mg), merged with the first batch from precipitation. The title compound is obtained as a white solid (1.395 g, 83%). LC-MS A: tR = 0.53min, [M+H]+ = 259.03.
The synthetic route of 4-Bromo-2-ethoxybenzonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
