Reference of 5414-21-1, These common heterocyclic compound, 5414-21-1, name is 5-Bromovaleronitrile, 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.
CH3Se3CH3 (100 mg, 0.53 mmol, Aldrich) was added to a solution of NaBH4 (60 mg, 1.59 mmol) in 5 ml of absolute EtOH under N2. After 5 min of vigorous reaction the colour of the solution changed from yellow to white. 5-Bromopentanenitrile (0.17 g, 1.06 mmol, Acros) was then added and stirred for 2.5 h. Et2O (10 ml) was added, the reaction mixture was washed with 5 ml each of water and brine, extracted with 2 x 25 ml of Et2O, and dried (MgSO4). The solvent was removed to give 10b as a yellow oil (107 mg, 57% yield). EI-ToF-MS (Fig. 2), m/z (rel. int.): 177 [M]+ (1200), 175 (28), 173 (15), 135 (10), 109 [CH3SeCH2]+ (33), 107 (17), 96 [CH3SeH]+ (27), 94 [CH2Se]+ (21), 93 [CHSe]+ (25), 82 (22), 55 (4). 1H NMR (500 MHz, CDCl3): delta1.75-1.88 (m, 4H, CH2CH2), 2.00 (s, 3H, CH3Se), 2.38 (t, 2H, J = 6.8 Hz, CH2CN), 2.57 (t, 2H, J = 6.9 Hz, CH2Se).
The synthetic route of 5414-21-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
