Electric Literature of 499983-13-0,Some common heterocyclic compound, 499983-13-0, name is 4-Bromo-3-fluorophenylacetonitrile, molecular formula is C8H5BrFN, 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.
Example 3Preparation of 4-bromo-3-fluorophenylcyclopropanenitrile (V)A solution of 4-bromo-3-fluorophenylacetonitrile (1 g, 4.6 mmoles) in toluene (4 ml) is mixed with 0.6 ml (7 mmoles) of 1,2-dibromoethane, a 50% NaOH aqueous solution (4 ml), and tetrabutylammonium bromide (0.32 g, 1 mmoles). The mixture is kept under stirring at room temperature for 4 hours, then diluted with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic phase is recovered, and the solvent is eliminated under vacuum to give a brown solid, which is subjected to silica gel chromatography purification, to afford an orange to yellow product in the solid form (1 g, yield 90%).
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 4-Bromo-3-fluorophenylacetonitrile, its application will become more common.
