These common heterocyclic compound, 50670-64-9, name is 5-Amino-2-methylbenzonitrile, 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. HPLC of Formula: C8H8N2
Add a solution of sodium nitrile (2.1 g, 31 mmol) in water (15 mL) drop wise at 5 C to a stirred solution of 5-amino-2-methylbenzonitrile (4.0 g, 31 mmol) in 33% sulfuric acid (45 mL) and keep the temperature below 5 C. In a separate flask, add concentrated sulfuric acid (30 mL) cautiously to a stirred solution of sodium sulfate (21.7 g, 153 mmol) in water (15 mL) and heat the mixture to reflux. Add the prepared diazonium solution to the re fluxing mixture in portions and continue refluxing for 2 hours. Cool the mixture slowly to room temperature and stir overnight. Extract the mixture with ethyl acetate (2 x 100 mL) and wash the combined organic extracts with water (2 x 150 mL) and 10% NaOH water solution (3 x 100 mL). Acidify the combined NaOH extracts with concentrated HC1 and then extract with ethyl acetate (2 x 200 mL). Dry the organic extracts over Na2S04 and concentrate under reduced pressure to give the title compound as a yellow solid (2.4 g, 60%): ES/MS (m/z) 134 (M+H), which is used directly without further purification.
The synthetic route of 5-Amino-2-methylbenzonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
