Electric Literature of 621-03-4, 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. 621-03-4, name is 2-Cyano-N-phenylacetamide belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, it is a common compound, a new synthetic route is introduced below.
General procedure: To a solution of 0.87 g t-BuOK (7.8 mmol) in 10 cm3 drymethanol, 2-cyanoacetamide 2a-2g (2.9 mmol) was added.The reaction mixture was stirred for 10-15 min, followed by cooling to 0 C and adding a solution of o-(azidomethyl)benzoate 1a-1c (2.6 mmol) in 5 cm3 drymethanol. After heating the reaction mixture back to room temperature, it was stirred under TLC monitoring for36-48 h and evaporated. Water (15 cm3) was added to the residue and it was acidified with HCl to pH 4-5. The resulting precipitate was filtered off and recrystallized from acetic acid.
In the field of chemistry, the synthetic routes of compounds are constantly being developed and updated. I will also mention this compound in other articles, 2-Cyano-N-phenylacetamide, other downstream synthetic routes, hurry up and to see.
