3939-09-1, Each compound has different characteristics, and only by selecting the characteristics of the compound suitable for a specific situation can the compound be applied on a large scale. 3939-09-1, name is 2,4-Difluorobenzonitrile, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows.

1-(2-Cyano-5-fluoro-phenyl)-1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester. To a solution of methyl 1H-1,2,4-triazole-3-carboxylate (27 g, 215 mmol) in dimethylformamide (170 mL) was added sodium hydride (5.53 g, 95%, 217 mmol) and the mixture was stirred for 30 min. Added to this was 2,4-difluorobenzylnitrile (30 g, 217 mmol) and the resulting mixture stirred at room temp for 60 h. The mixture was diluted with water and filtered to remove solids. The solution was extracted with ethyl acetate and the organic phase was washed with water (3¡Á’s) and brine, then dried (Na2SO4) and concentrated. The resulting residue was purified by flash chromatography (SiO2) eluting with 30% tetrahydrofuran/20% CH2Cl2/50% hexane to give the title compound as white needles (5.34 g, 10% yield). 1H-NMR (300 MHz, CDCl3) delta ppm: 8.92 (1H, s), 7.85 (1H, dd, J=8.8, 5.5 Hz), 7.67 (1H, dd, J=8.8, 2.6 Hz), 7.34-7.27 (1H, m), 40.3 (3H, s). LCMS [M+H]+ calcd for C11H8N4FO2: 247.06. found: 247.11.
