Some common heterocyclic compound, 916792-13-7, name is 4-Bromo-2-fluoro-5-methylbenzonitrile, molecular formula is C8H5BrFN, 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. Formula: C8H5BrFN
To a solution of 4-bromo-2-fluoro-5-methylbenzonitrile (10.0 g, 46.7 mmol) in N,N-dimethylacetamide (30 mL) was added Pd(dppf)Cl2 (5.1 g, 7.0 mmol) and MeOH (10 mL), followed by TEA (14.3g, 140.1 mmol). The mixture was heated at 90 C overnight under carbon monoxide (5 MPa). The mixture was cooled to RT and the mixture was diluted with water, extracted with EA. The combined organic layers were concentrated to give the crude product, which was purified by silica gel chromatography eluting with EA/petroleum ether from 5% to 10% to give methyl 4-cyano-5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoate (7.33 g, 81%) as a white solid.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 916792-13-7, its application will become more common.
