Electric Literature of 13726-21-1, Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 13726-21-1, name is 2-(4-Chloro-3-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.
KOtBu (370 g, 3.3 mol) was dissolved in THF (1.7 L) and stirred at -20 C. After 30 min, to the reaction mixture was added 2-(4-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile (13) (240 g, 1.32 mol) in THF (0.5 L) and then the resulting mixture was stirred for additional 30 min at the same temperature. CH3I (563 g, 3.96 mol) was added and the mixture was slowly warm to room temperature over 2 h with mechanical stirring. The reaction mixture was quenched with water in ice-bath and extracted with EtOAc (1.5 L x 2). The combined organic layers were washed with brine (3 L), dried over anhydrous MgS04, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to give 2-(4-chloro-3-methoxyphenyl)-2-methylpropanenitrile (14) as a amber liquid (269 g, 97%). 1H NMR (400MHz, CDC13): delta 7.35-7.37 (d, 1H), 7.05 (s, 1H), 6.95-6.97 (d, 1H), 3.94 (s, 3H), 1.72 (s, 6H).
The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis 2-(4-Chloro-3-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile. I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
