Electric Literature of 447-60-9, In the chemical reaction process, reaction time, type of solvent, can easily affect the result of the reaction, thereby determining the yield and properties of the reaction product. An updated downstream synthesis route of 447-60-9 as follows.
To a solution of 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine (0.99 g, 7.02 mmol) in THF (25 ml) was added n-BuLi (2.80 ml, 2.5 M hexane solution, 7.02 mmol) at -10 C. After stirring for 10 min, this solution was cooled to -78 C., tris(1-methylethyl)borate (1.58 g, 8.4 mmol) was added, and the mixture was stirred for 5 min. To this solution was added a solution of 2-(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (1.00 g, 5.85 mmol) in THF (10 ml), and the mixture was stirred at -78 C. for 2 hr. The reaction solution was allowed to warm to room temperature, the reaction was quenched with acetic acid, and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate was added to the residue, the precipitated solid was filtered off, and the filtrate was concentrated to give the title compound (3.14 g) as a mixture. This was used for the next reaction without performing further purification and identification.
According to the analysis of related databases, 447-60-9, the application of this compound in the production field has become more and more popular.
