Reference of 41963-20-6,Some common heterocyclic compound, 41963-20-6, name is 4-Bromo-3-methylbenzonitrile, 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.
To a solution of 17 (10.0 g, 49.5 mmol) in carbon tetrachloride (200 mL) were added N-bromosuccinimide (8.81 g, 49.5 mmol) and 2,2′-azobis(isobutyronitrile) (414 mg, 5 mol %), and the mixture was refluxed for 3 h. Water was added, and the mixture was extracted with chloroform. The organic layer was washed with brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. To the residue were added dimethylformamide (150 mL) and sodium acetate (20.5 g, 250 mmol), and the mixture was stirred at 80 C. overnight. Water was added, and the mixture was extracted with ether. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure. To the residue was added methanol (150 mL) and 1 mol/L sodium hydroxide (50 mL), and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h. The reaction mixture was concentrated to about a third of volume under reduced pressure. Water and hydrochloric acid were added, and the mixture was extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with water and brine, and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The solvent was removed under reduced pressure, and the residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (3:1 hexane/ethyl acetate) followed by trituration with dichloromethane to give 2-bromo-5-cyanobenzyl alcohol (4.63 g, overall 44%): 1H NMR (300 MHz, DMSO-d6) delta (ppm) 4.51 (d, J=5.9 hz, 2H), 5.67 (t, J=5.6 Hz, 1H), 7.67 (dd, J=8.2, 2.0 Hz, 1H), 7.80 (s, J=8.2 Hz, 1H), 7.83 (d, J=2.0 Hz, 1H).
The synthetic route of 41963-20-6 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
