Related Products of 16932-49-3, These common heterocyclic compound, 16932-49-3, name is 2,6-Dimethoxybenzonitrile, 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.
Example 1 Synthesis of 2,6-Dihydroxybenzonitrile (2-Cyanoresorcinol) One potential method utilizes boron tribromide to demethylate 2,6-dimethoxybenzonitrile (1 in ) to generate 2,6-dihydroxybenzonitrile (2). Into a 250 mL 3-neck round bottom flask equipped with stir bar, nitrogen inlet, thermometer, and addition funnel was charged 2,6-dimethoxybenzonitrile (3.99 g, 24.5 mmol) and methylene chloride (27 mL). The solution was cooled to -78 C. by submerging the flask in a dry ice/acetone bath. A solution of boron tribromide (25 g, 99.8 mmol) in methylene chloride (27 mL) was added dropwise via the addition funnel over a period of 1 hour. The temperature was maintained at -78 C. for 2 hours. The mixture was allowed to rise to room temperature. The reaction was then stirred at room temperature overnight and refluxed at 55 C. for 10 hours. Excess boron tribromide was decomposed carefully by the addition of moist methylene chloride. Upon removal of the solvent, the crude product was passed through a column of silica gel using 5% acetone in methylene chloride as eluent to afford 1.42 g (43.0%) of a light brown solid, m.p. 197.5-199.6 C. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6): 6.39-6.41 (d, 2H, Ar-H), 7.20-7.24 (t, 1H), 10.78 (s, 2H, Ar-O-H).
The synthetic route of 16932-49-3 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
