Application of 654-70-6, 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. 654-70-6, name is 4-Cyano-3-trifluoromethylaniline belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
To a slurry of 4-amino-2- (trifluoromethyl) benzonitrile (30.09 g, 162 mmol) and NaBH3CN (21.35 g, 340 mmol) in CH2CI2 (160 mL) at ice bath temperature was added neat TFA (160 mL, 2.08 mol), dropwise at a rate such that the internal temperature remained below 5C (CAUTION : exothermic reaction with hydrogen gas evolution). TRIFLUOROACETALDEHYDE hydrate (52.2 g, 405 MMOL) was then added over 5 minutes (CAUTION : slightly exothermic reaction, with gas evolution). After 41 h, the mixture was slowly poured into satd NAHC03 (1 L) at 0C. The mixture was then completely neutralized by portionwise addition of solid NAHC03. The mixture was stirred 30 min and precipitated solids were collected by filtration. Organic and aqueous phases of the filtrate were separated, and the aqueous layer extracted with CH2CI2 (3 X 150 mL). Combined organic extracts were concentrated to dryness, combined with the solids collected previously, dissolved in EtOAc, washed (H20, brine), dried over NA2SO4, filtered through a short pad of Celite, and concentrated to dryness. The residue was filtered through a pad of silica gel (EtOAc/hexanes) and concentrated to dryness. Recrystallization from EtOAc/hexanes yielded 32.61 g of the title compound as slightly tan crystalline plates, mp 132. 5-134C :’H NMR (300 MHz, MeOH-d4) 8 7.59 (d, J = 8. 8 Hz, 1 H), 7.05 (d, J = 2.2 Hz, 1 H), 6.92 (dd, J = 8.7, 2.4 Hz, 1 H), 3.92 (q, J = 9.2 Hz, 2H).
The synthetic route of 4-Cyano-3-trifluoromethylaniline has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
