The synthetic route of Methyl 4-(cyanomethyl)benzoate has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
Reference of 76469-88-0, 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. 76469-88-0, name is Methyl 4-(cyanomethyl)benzoate belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
Step 1 : A solution of A/fA/-diisopropylethytamine (2.4 mL, 17.1 mmol, 1 eq) in THF (10 mL) was cooled to -78C. A solution of /7-butyllithium in hexanes (2.5M, 6.85 mL, 17.1 eq) was added dropwise with stirring. The solution was warmed to 0C for 10 min, then cooled again to -78C. At -78C, a solution of methyl 4-(cyanomethyl)benzoate (3g, 20 mmol, 1 eq) in THF (8 mL) was added dropwise to the LDA solution (a dark red slurry formed). After stirring the resulting slurry for 10 minutes at -78C, 1-bromo-3,3- dimethylbutane (2.46 mL, 17.9 mmol, 1.05 eq) was added rapidly. The reaction was stirred for 30 minutes at -78C then was warmed to room temperature. After 1h, hexamethylphosphoramide (2.5 mL, 14 mmol) was added, and the reaction was stirred at room temperature for 16h. The reaction mixture was partitioned between EtOAc and 1N HCi. The aqueous layer was discarded, and the organic layer was washed with 1 HCI and brine. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and evaporated to afford a crude residue which waschromatographed on silica gel (gradient elution, 0% to 30% EtOAc in hexanes, SiO2) to afford the desired product as a white crystalline solid (2.49g, 54%),
