Synthetic Route of 3556-60-3,Some common heterocyclic compound, 3556-60-3, name is 3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzonitrile, molecular formula is C9H9NO, 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.
C.14.e. 4-Bromomethyl-3-methoxybenzonitrile 14.7 g (0.1 mol) of 3-methoxy-4-methylbenzonitrile were dissolved in 210 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane, brominated in portions with 19.1 g (0.11 mol) with NBS over the course of 1 h in the presence of catalytic amounts of AIBN at 82 C. and, after the addition was complete, stirred at 82 C. for a further 30 min. After addition of n-heptane, precipitated succinimide was removed, and the solvent was stripped off. The product contained traces of the corresponding benzal bromide in addition to small amounts of precursor. 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6; delta in ppm): 7.60 (dd, 1H); 7.50 (d, 1H); 7.40 (dd, 1H); 4.68 (s, 2H); 3.96 (s, 3H)
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3-Methoxy-4-methylbenzonitrile, its application will become more common.
