Electric Literature of 5414-21-1,Some common heterocyclic compound, 5414-21-1, name is 5-Bromovaleronitrile, molecular formula is C5H8BrN, 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.
General procedure: A solution of m-tolylmagnesium bromide 26, prepared from 416 muL of 3-bromotoluene and 83 mg of magnesium turnings in anhydrous THF (3 mL), was added dropwise under inert atmosphere to a solution of 5-bromovaleronitrile (400 muL, 3.43 mmol) in anhydrous THF (3 mL). The mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 h, quenched with a saturated aqueous solution of NaHCO3 (3 mL) and extracted with dichloromethane (3 * 10 mL). The combined organic layers were dried over anhydrous sodium sulphate, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The crude residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (dichloromethane/methanol 95:5) to provide the compound 7 as a yellow oil (225 mg, 38% yield).
The synthetic route of 5414-21-1 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
