In the next few decades, the world population will flourish. As the population grows rapidly and people all over the world use more and more resources, all industries must consider their environmental impact. 610-66-2, name is 2-(2-Nitrophenyl)acetonitrile belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below. name: 2-(2-Nitrophenyl)acetonitrile
Absolute ethanol (2,250 ml) and 1,500 g (9.25 moles) of o-nitrophenylacetonitrile is charged into a 22 liter flask. The suspension is cooled to 5-10 and hydrogen chloride is bubbled into the mixture for 2.5 hours. The reaction mixture is stirred at 10 under nitrogen atmosphere overnight. It is then diluted with 16,000 ml of ether and stirred for 1 hour; the solid is collected by filtration, washed with 4*1,000 ml of ether and dried (5 mm Hg/40) to give ethyl 2-(o-nitrophenyl)-acetimidate hydrochloride, m.p. 122-123 (dec).
The synthetic route of 610-66-2 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
