These common heterocyclic compound, 89001-53-6, name is 2-Methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile, its 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: C8H6N2O2
A degassed solution of 2-methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile (10 g, 61.7 mmol), N- bromosuccinimide (13.2 g (74.17 mmol, 1.2 eq.) and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) (2.0 g, 12.18 mmol, 0.2 eq) in 300 ml CCI4 was heated at reflux for 3 days. After solvent was evaporated the residue was taken in ethyl acetate and washed 2x with aq. NaHCO3 , aq. Na2S2theta3, brine, dried over MgSO4, filtered, concentrated and purified chromatography using 15% ethyl acetate in hexane to provide 1 1.7 g of 2-bromomethyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile.
The synthetic route of 2-Methyl-4-nitrobenzonitrile has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
