Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 59997-51-2, name is 4,4-Dimethyl-3-oxopentanenitrile, belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 59997-51-2, Computed Properties of C7H11NO
Step j03: At room temperature 4,4-dimethyl-3-oxopentanenitrile (J-II) (1 equivalents, 5 g) was taken up in ethanol (100 mL), mixed with hydrazine hydrate (2 equivalents, 4.42 g) and refluxed for 3 h. The residue obtained after removal of the ethanol by distillation was taken up in water (100 mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (300 mL). The combined organic phases were dried over sodium sulphate, the solvent was removed under vacuum and the product (J-III) (5 g, 89 % yield) was obtained as a light red solid after recrystallisation from n-hexane (200 mL).
At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 4,4-Dimethyl-3-oxopentanenitrile, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.
