Some common heterocyclic compound, 57381-49-4, name is 2-Bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile, molecular formula is C7H3BrClN, 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. SDS of cas: 57381-49-4
To a solution of 2-bromo-4-chlorobenzonitrile (500 mg, 2.3 mmol), in dry THF (50 mL) was added slowly borane-THF complex (1 M, 12 mL, 1 1 .5 mmol) at 0 C before refluxing for 1 h. After cooling down, 1 M HCI in MeOH (20 mL) was charged slowly with ice cooling. The solvent was removed by concentration in vacuo before water (0.61 mmol/mL to benzonitrile) was charged, then washed by Et20 (0.61 mmol/mL to benzonitrile) before basifying with 2 M NaOH solution to pH 12. Et20 (15 mL) was added and the mixture was washed with water (3 x 15 mL) and brine (1 mL). The organic phase was dried (MgS04) and concentrated in vacuo to give a yellow oil (345 mg, 68%). LCMS (EST) m/z = 220.1 [M+H]+.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 57381-49-4, its application will become more common.
