In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 3939-09-1, name is 2,4-Difluorobenzonitrile belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. 3939-09-1
4-Fluoro-2-(3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile and 4-fluoro-2-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile. A solution of 2,4-difluorobenzonitrile (7.07 g, 50.8 mmol) and 3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (4.22 g, 50.8 mmol) in N,N-dimethylformamide (45 ml) was treated with powdered anhydrous potassium carbonate (10 g) and the resulting mixture was stirred at 22 C. for 18 h. The solid was then filtered and the filtrate was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was diluted with ethyl acetate, washed with water and brine, dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. The mixture containing the 2 and 4-triazolyl-benzonitriles was purified by a combination of chromatography on silica gel (elution gradient of ethyl acetate in hexane) and on reversed phase silica gel to give 1.86 g (18% yield) of 4-Fluoro-2-(3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile and 0.526 g (5% yield) of 4-fluoro-2-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile. 4-Fluoro-2-(3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile. White crystals (ethyl acetate/hexanes). mp 117-118 C. 1HNMR 400 MHz (CDCl3) delta (ppm): 2.54 (3H, s, CH3), 7.24 (1H, m, CH), 7.62 (1H, dd, J=2.5 Hz and J=9.1 Hz, CH), 7.84 (1H, dd, J=5.6 Hz and J=8.6 Hz, CH), 8.82 (1H, s, CH). Anal. Calcd for C10H7FN4: C, 59.40; H, 3.49; N, 27.71. Found: C, 59.25; H, 3.32; N, 27.81. 4-fluoro-2-(5-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)benzonitrile. White crystals (ethyl acetate-hexane). mp 120-121 C. 1HNMR 400 MHz (CDCl3) delta (ppm): 2.56 (3H, s, CH3), 7.30 (1H, dd, J=2.5 Hz and J=8.1 Hz, CH), 7.39 (1H, m, CH), 7.91 (1H, dd, J=5.5 Hz and J=8.6 Hz, CH), 8.06 (1H, s, CH). Anal. Calcd for C10H7FN4: C, 59.40; H, 3.49; N, 27.71. Found: C, 59.35; H, 3.70; N, 27.77.
The synthetic route of 3939-09-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
