Extracurricular laboratory: Synthetic route of 1080-74-6

The synthetic route of 1080-74-6 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.

Researchers who often do experiments know that organic synthesis is a process of preparing more complex target molecules from simple raw materials through one or more chemical reactions. Generally, it requires fewer steps, and cheap raw materials. 1080-74-6, name is 2-(3-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Safety of 2-(3-Oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile

General procedure: A mixture of an aromatic or heteroaromatic aldehyde(10.00 mmol) and an active methylene compound (10.0mmol) in acetic anhydride (15 mL) was stirred underexclusion of moisture in a water bath at 90C for 8 h.Under consumption of the starting material a deeply colouredsolution was observed and by the time a crystallineprecipitate was formed. After cooling to 0C the precipitatewas filtered off by suction, washed exhaustively withmethanol (100-200 mL) until the filtrate showed thecolour of the desired product in solution and then dried inair at room temperature.The following compounds were so prepared.

The synthetic route of 1080-74-6 has been constantly updated, and we look forward to future research findings.
