These common heterocyclic compound, 64695-82-5, name is 2-Bromo-4,5-difluorobenzonitrile, 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. Safety of 2-Bromo-4,5-difluorobenzonitrile
2-Bromo-4,5-difluorobenzonitrile (1.0 g, 4.59 mmol), tert-butyl (2S)-2-methylpiperazine-1-carboxylate (0.96 g, 4.82 mmol), Pd2(dba)3 (0.21 g, 0.23 mmol), XantPhos (0.27 g, 0.46 mmol) and sodium tert-butoxide (1.32 g, 13.76 mmol) were suspended in 1,4-dioxane (20 ml) (degassed with nitrogen for 5 minutes) then the reaction was heated at 100 C. for 6 h. The reaction was cooled then filtered through Celite, using DCM. The filtrate was concentrated in vacuo then the residue was partitioned between DCM (50 ml) and water (30 ml) and the organics were separated, dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified via flash column chromatography using gradients of 0% to 100% EtOAc in heptane followed by 0% to 100% MeOH in EtOAc, then the fractions containing product were concentrated in vacuo to yield the title compound as a pale yellow oil which crystallized on standing (548 mg, 35%). 1H NMR (500 MHz, DMSO-d6) 8.04 (dd, J=10.4, 8.8 Hz, 1H), 7.32 (dd, J=12.7, 7.2 Hz, 1H), 4.24 (s, 1H), 3.84 (d, J=13.2 Hz, 1H), 3.32 (d, J=2.1 Hz, 2H), 3.16 (t, J=11.4 Hz, 1H), 2.90 (dd, J=12.1, 3.7 Hz, 1H), 2.78 (td, J=11.9, 3.4 Hz, 1H), 1.42 (s, 9H), 1.27 (d, J=6.7 Hz, 3H). LCMS Method 2-Tr=1.28 min (ES+) (M+H+) 360.1
The synthetic route of 2-Bromo-4,5-difluorobenzonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
