Electric Literature of 877131-92-5, As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 877131-92-5 name is 2-(4-Bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetonitrile, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below.
To a stirred solution of (4-bromo-2-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-acetonitrile (3.33 g, 12.61 mmol) from step 2 of example A(141), benzyltriethylammoniym chloride (0.057 g, 0.25 mmol) and 1-bromo-2-chloroethane (1.57 g, 10.94 mmol), was added dropwise a solution of NaOH 40% ( 3 ml_). The reaction mixture was stirred 6 hours at 50 C. After this time the reaction was quenched with 1 N HCI (30 ml) and extracted with EtOAC (3 x 30 ml_). The organic phase was dried over Na2SO4 and evaporated. The crude organic product was purified by flash column chromatography (10% EtOAc in hexanes) to give the product (3.1 g, 86%) as a clear oil. 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCI3) 6 1.4-1.44 (m, 2H), 1.76-1.80 (m, 2H), 7.44 (d, J=8.3 Hz, 1 H), 7.69 (dd,J=8.3, 2 Hz, 1 H), 7.84 (d, J=2 Hz, 1 H).
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 2-(4-Bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)acetonitrile, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
