Application of 64248-64-2, The chemical industry reduces the impact on the environment during synthesis 64248-64-2, name is 2,5-Difluorobenzonitrile, I believe this compound will play a more active role in future production and life.
Step A: 5-Fluoro-2-hydroxybenzonitrile (23t): 2,5-Difluorobenzonitrile (14.9 g, 107 mmol) and benzyl alcohol (11.1 mL, 11.6 g, 107 mmol) were dissolved in DMF (330 mL) and cooled to 0 C. Sodium hydride (60% in oil, 6.40 g, 161 mmol) was added to the solution at 0 C. and the reaction mixture was allowed to warm to room temperature. After stirring for 1 hour at room temperature, the reaction solution was cooled to 0 C. and water (330 mL) was gradually added to the solution. The mixture was transferred to a separatory funnel and extracted 3 times with 500 mL of Et2O. The combined organic layer was washed with 100 mL of water twice, brine once, then dried over MgSO4. After filtration, the solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a crude pale yellow solid. The crude solid was dissolved in MeOH (500 mL). To the solution was added 10% palladium on activated carbon under a nitrogen atmosphere. Replacing nitrogen gas with hydrogen gas, reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature (if the reaction did not proceed in 30 minutes, the palladium on carbon was filtered off and set up again). After 2 hours of stirring, the palladium on carbon was filtrated off and washed with MeOH. The solution was concentrated under reduced pressure to obtain a pale yellow solid. The solid was recrystallized from hot toluene (100 mL) by addition of hexane (10 mL) followed by cooling to 0 C. The obtained white needles were washed with 1:1 mixture of toluene and hexane (7.23 g, 49% yield). The mother liquor was concentrated and purified on silica gel with Et2O/hexane (2:3-1:1) to afford desired compound (23t) (6.94 g, 47% yield). Total 14.2 g (96% yield) over 2 steps. 1H-NMR (400 MHz, d6-DMSO) delta 11.09 (s, 1H), 7.58 (dd, J=8.4, 3.2 Hz, 1H), 7.40 (td, J=8.6, 3.2 Hz, 1H), 7.03 (dd, J=9.2, 4.4 Hz, 1H) ppm.
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, 2,5-Difluorobenzonitrile, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
