Reference of 42872-83-3, A common heterocyclic compound, 42872-83-3, name is 2-Bromo-5-methylbenzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H6BrN, 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.
To a solution of (3-(ethoxycarbonyl)phenyl)boronic acid (386 mg, 1.99 mmol, Eq: 1.3) in THF (5 mL) was added 2-bromo-5-methylbenzonitrile (300 mg, 1.53 mmol, Eq: 1) and potassium fluoride (267 mg, 4.59 mmol, Eq: 3). The reaction mixture was degassed under a slight argon flush in an ultrasonic bath for 15 minutes. palladium(II) acetate (6.87 mg, 30.6 muiotaetaomicron, Eq: 0.02) and (2-biphenyl)di-tert-butylphosphine (18.3 mg, 61.2 muiotaetaomicron, Eq: 0.04) was added. The reaction mixture was stirred for 18 hours at 50C. The reaction mixture was poured on 30 mL water and 30 mL EtOAc and the layers were separated. The aqueous layer was extracted a second time with 30 mL EtOAc. The organic layers were washed with 30 mL brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered and concentrated under vacuum. The residue was purified by silica gel chromatography to yield ethyl 3-(2-cyano-4-methylphenyl)benzoate as a white solid (383 mg, 94.3%). MS (ESI): m/z = 266.118 [M+H]+.
The synthetic route of 42872-83-3 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
