Reference of 19472-74-3,Some common heterocyclic compound, 19472-74-3, name is 2-Bromophenylacetonitrile, molecular formula is C8H6BrN, 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.
A 100 mL round bottom flask was evacuated and back-filled byargon 3 times, and charged with 0.84 mL of o-bromophenylacetonitrile(6.5 mmol) and 25 mL of toluene under a positive pressure ofargon. After being cooled in an ice bath for 5 min, 7.5mL of a solutionof NaHMDS in THF (1 M, 7.5 mmol) was added to this toluenesolution, and the ice bath was removed. After 30 min, 0.47mL of 2-chloropyridine (5.0 mmol) was added, and the mixture was heatedin a 70 C oil bath for 6 h. The progress of reactionwas monitored byTLC. Upon completion, reaction was quenched by adding 50 mL ofsaturated aqueous ammonium chloride solution reaction, then extracted by 30 mL of ethyl acetate for three times. The combinedorganic extract was dried (anhydrous sodium sulfate), filtered(celite plug), and concentrated under a reduced pressure. A silicagel column chromatography purification (9:1 Hexanes/EtOAc)afforded 0.84 g of 1h in 64% yield.1h: 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta ppm 8.63-8.62 (1H, m),7.70-7.59 (m, 3H), 7.59e7.35 (m, 1H), 7.38-7.20 (m, 3H), 5.80 (s,1H). 13C NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3) delta ppm 153.95, 150.23, 137.38, 134.17,133.40, 130.44, 130.26, 128.40, 123.70, 123.27, 122.51, 118.53, 44.74.13C-DEPT 135 NMR (101 MHz, CDCl3) delta ppm 150.23, 137.37, 133.39,130.43, 130.24, 128.39, 123.26, 122.50, 44.72.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Bromophenylacetonitrile, its application will become more common.
