A new synthetic route of 2-Methoxy-6-methylbenzonitrile

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 53005-44-0, its application will become more common.

Some common heterocyclic compound, 53005-44-0, name is 2-Methoxy-6-methylbenzonitrile, molecular formula is C9H9NO, 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. Recommanded Product: 53005-44-0

To intermediate 145 (5.0 g, 34.03 mmol) in THF (50 ml), benzylmagnesium chloride (34 ml, 2M in THF, 68.02 mmol) was added at 0C over 30 min. and heated to reflux for 15 h. The reaction mixture was cooled to room temperature, 2N HC1 (200 ml) was added and again refluxed for 4h. The reaction mixture was cooled and extracted with ethyl acetate, dried over sodium sulphate and concentrated. The crude product was column chromatographed with ethyl acetate : petroleum ether to afford to afford the title compound as brown liquid (3.7 g , 45%). -NMR (delta ppm, CDCI3, 400 MHz): 7.30-7. 18 (m, 6H), 6.76 (m, 2H), 4.07 (s, 2H), 3.83 (s, 3H), 2.02 (s, 3H).

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 53005-44-0, its application will become more common.
