Reference of 874-90-8, These common heterocyclic compound, 874-90-8, name is 4-Methoxybenzonitrile, 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.
Bis(4-methoxyphenyl)methammine (1) was prepared according to the procedure described in Pickert et al., (1973) Organic Syntheses Coll. Fpp520-522 and Dejaegher et al., (2002) Synlett 113-115. Magnesium (0.76 g) was suspended in 30 mL dry THF in a flame-dried 3-neck round-bottomed flask equipped with a stir bar. Some drops of 4-bromoanisole were added, and to initiate the reaction, a crystal of iodine was added and the solution heated to a gentle reflux (-6O0C). Once the color of the iodine had disappeared, the remaining l-bromo-4- methoxybenzene (3.9 mL) in 8 mL THF was added. The mixture was refluxed for 45 minutes. After cooling to RT, 2.5 g of p-methoxybenzonitrile in dry THF was added over 20 minutes and reacted for 6 h under reflux. The reaction mixture was cooled and 4.5 mL of methanol added to quench the reaction. After stirring for 20 minutes, it was concentrated to remove THF, redissolved in CH2Cl2 and quickly washed with water in a separatory funnel to remove Mg salts. The CH2Cl2 layer was dried over MgSO4, concentrated, redissolved in a minimal amount of dichloromethane and diethyl ether added to precipitate white shiny crystals of Bis(4- methoxyphenyl)methanimine (4.01 g, 59% yield). It is worthy of mention that the preparation of this diarylketimine was simple and efficient resulting in crystals without any additional lengthy purification steps such as distillation or chromatography which contributes to the simpler glycosylation chemistry. Rf = 0.32 (60% EtOAc: hexanes), m.p. = 128-129 0C, 1H NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) d 3.84 (6H, s), 6.90 (4H, d, J= 9.0 Hz), 7.52 (4H, d, J= 8.5 Hz), 8.95 (NH, broad) ; 13C NMR (CDCl3, 500 MHz) d 55.3 (2CH3O), 113.4 (4CH), 129.98 (4CH), 132.1(2C, q), 161.1 (2C- O, q), and 176.9 (C=N).
Statistics shows that 4-Methoxybenzonitrile is playing an increasingly important role. we look forward to future research findings about 874-90-8.
