455-18-5, name is 4-(Trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, belongs to nitriles-buliding-blocks compound, is considered to be a conventional heterocyclic compound, which is widely used in drug synthesis. The chemical synthesis route is as follows. category: nitriles-buliding-blocks
General procedure: To the solution of NaOH (5.93 g, 0.15 mol) in water (20 mL) and ethanol (120 mL), hydroxylamine hydrochloride (10.33 g, 0.15 mol) was added in one portion at room temperature. The resulting mixture was then stirred for 10 min, followed by the addition of 4-substituted cyanobenzene (1, 0.12 mol) and then heated to reflux for 4 h. After cooled to room temperature, the reaction mixture was evaporated in vacuo to remove ethanol. The obtained slurry was dissolved in ethyl acetate and filtered. The filtrate was collected, dried over anhydrous Na2SO4, and then concentrated to give corresponding compound 2, which was used in next step without any purification.
The synthetic route of 455-18-5 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
