Synthetic Route of 368-77-4, A common heterocyclic compound, 368-77-4, name is 3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H4F3N, 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.
A flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer, a nitrogen inlet, a temperature probe and a condenser was charged with the 3-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (compound of formula 6) (85.5 g, 0.5 mol), followed by ethanolamine (62 ml, 1 mol), CaCI (9.0 g, 0.075 mol) and xylenes (45 mL). The reaction mixture was heated to 125 C and stirred at this temperature for 24 hr. Then the reaction mixture was allowed to cool to about 40C, and transferred with DIPE (350 mL) into an extractor containing 0.1 M KH2PO4 (600 mL). The organic phase was cut and washed with water (2×400 mL), brine (200 mL), dried over Na2S04 and filtered. The solvent was then removed under reduce pressure. The obtained crude residue was distilled using 10 cm column with Rashig rings at 90 C and 5 mbarto yield oxazoline 7 (Scheme 6) as a colorless oil (83.2 g, 77%): 1 H NMR (CDCb) delta 4.09 (t, J = 9.5 Hz, 2H), 4.47 (t, J = 9.5 Hz, 2H), 7.54 (t, J = 7.8 Hz, 1 H), 7.73 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1 H), 8.13 (d, J = 7.8 Hz, 1 H), 8.23 (s, 1 H).
The synthetic route of 368-77-4 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
