Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 36282-26-5

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzonitrile, its application will become more common.

Reference of 36282-26-5,Some common heterocyclic compound, 36282-26-5, name is 2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzonitrile, molecular formula is C7H3BrFN, 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.

A 48 mL pressure vessel containing 2-bromo-4-fluorobenzonitrile (1.00 g, 5.00 mmol), 2-pyrrolidinone (0.46 mL, 6.00 mmol), Cs2CO3 (2.28 g, 7.0 mmol) and 9,9-dimethyl-4,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)xanthene (xantphos) (0.231 g, 0.40 mmol) in dioxane (6 mL) was degassed with argon for 15 min. Pd2dba3 was introduced and the reaction mixture heated at 105 C. for 48 h. The mixture was cooled, diluted with ethyl acetate or dioxane, and then filtered through Celite. The resulting mixture was concentrated in vacuo and subjected to column chromatography on silica gel with hexanes:ethyl acetate (3:7) gradient as the eluent to afford the title compound as a white solid (0.887 g, 87% yield): 1H NMR (400 MHz, CDCl3) delta ppm: 7.69 (1H, dd, J=5.8, 8.6 Hz), 7.22 (1H, dd, J=2.5, 9.6 Hz), 7.07 (1H, ddd, J=2.5, 7.6, 8.6 Hz), 3.96 (2H, t,. J=7.0 Hz), 2.62 (2H, t, J=8.1 Hz), 2.30-2.22 (2H, m); LCMS (+ESI, M+H+) m/z 205.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 2-Bromo-4-fluorobenzonitrile, its application will become more common.
