Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of Cyclobutanecarbonitrile

Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 4426-11-3.

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. 4426-11-3, name is Cyclobutanecarbonitrile, This compound has unique chemical properties. The synthetic route is as follows., Safety of Cyclobutanecarbonitrile

1 -cyclopentylcyclobutanecarbonitrile[291] To a solution of cyclobutanecarbonitrile (405 mg, 5 mmol) in THF (7 mL) was added dropwise LDA (2.0 M, 2.5 mL, 5 mmol) at -78 C over 10 minutes. After stirring for 30 minutes, a solution of bromocyclopentane (888 mg, 6.0 mmol) in HMPA (268 mg, 1.5 mmol) was added and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with the addition of IN aqueous HC1 (10 mL) and extracted with EtOAc (20 mL x 3). The combined organic phases were washed with brine, dried over Na2S04, filtered and concentrated. The residue was purified by column chromatography (petroleum ether/EtOAc =20/1) to give Example 163A (0.46 g, yield 62.3%) as a colorless oil. ? NMR (400 MHz, CDC13): ? 2.53-2.44 (m, 2H), 2.25-2.07 (m, 4H), 2.03-1.95 (m, 1H), 1.86-1.69 (m, 4H), 1.62-1.54 (m, 2H).

Chemical properties determine the actual use. Each compound has specific chemical properties and uses. We look forward to more synthetic routes in the future to expand reaction routes of 4426-11-3.
