As we all know, there are many different methods for the synthesis of a compound, and people can choose the synthesis method that suits their own laboratory according to the actual situation. 326-62-5 name is 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)acetonitrile, This compound is widely used in many fields, so it is necessary to find a new synthetic route. The downstream synthesis method of this compound is introduced below. 326-62-5

General procedure: A solution of aryl acetonitrile 2 (50 mg), and triethylamine (1.1 equiv.) in dimethylformamide dimethyl acetal (0.5 mL, 3.76 mmol) was heated in a microwave reactor at 120 C for 20 minutes. The mixture was cooled to RT, and solvents were then evaporated. To the resulting crude product 3 was added hydrazine mono-hydrobromide (3.0 equiv.), 200 proof EtOH (1.0 mL), and H2O (0.3 mL). The mixture was heated in a microwave reactor at 120 C for 20 minutes. The mixture was cooled to RT and concentrated in vacuo. The resulting residue was subjected to liquid-liquid extraction using saturated NaHCO3 (aq) and CH2Cl2. The organic layer was collected, dried over anhydrous MgSO4, filtered and removed under vacuum to afford 4.The resulting crude product 4 and 2-arylsubstitutedmalondialdehydes or 1,1,3,3tetramethoxypropane (1.0 equiv.) were dissolved in glacial AcOH (1.0 mL) and 200 proof EtOH (1.5 mL). The mixture was heated in a microwave reactor at 120 C for 20 minutes. After cooling on ice, the precipitate was collected on a fine scintered-glass frit and washed with icecold EtOH (2 x 1.0 mL). The resulting crystals 5-32 were dried and collected.

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 2-(2-Fluorophenyl)acetonitrile, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

27126-93-8,Some common heterocyclic compound, 27126-93-8, name is 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, molecular formula is C9H3F6N, 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.

Example 15 Synthesis of 5-(3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-1H-tetrazole (8) Anhydrous zinc bromide (93.5 g, 415 mmol, 0.99 equiv.), sodium azide (29.8 g, 458 mmol, 1.1 equiv.) and water (750 ml) were added to 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (100.0 g, 418 mmol, 1.00 equiv.). The resulting suspension was stirred for 10 days at ambient temperature. The completion of the reaction was confirmed by reversed phase HPLC on a Waters Novapak C18 column (3.9*150 mm) eluding with a linear gradient from 40% to 100% acetonitrile in 250 mM triethylammonium acetate buffer pH 6.5 in 15.00 minutes with a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min, detection at lambda=270 nm, product retention time 2.0 min., educt retention time 6.5 min. Ethyl acetate (3.8 ltr.) and 10% citric acid in water were added and the resulting mixture was vigorously stirred for 15 minutes. The aqueous phase was separated and extracted with ethyl acetate (2*900 ml). The organic phases were combined and evaporated to dryness. The resulting solid was stirred in aqueous NaOH solution (0.25 M, 3.8 ltr.) for 30 minutes to give a suspension, which was filtered. The filtrate was acidified with aqueous HCl (375 ml conc. hydrochloric acid and 375 ml water) which caused the product to precipitate as a fine white powder. The product was collected by filtration after one hour, washed with cold hexanes (100 ml) and dried in a desiccator under vacuum, yield 72.7 g (62%) of compound (8) as white crystalline powder. The purified product had a purity of 100% by reversed phase HPLC as depicted in . 1H NMR (300 MHz, d6-DMSO) delta 8.26 (s, 1H), 8.59 (s, 1H), m.p. 179 C. The product can be recrystallized from toluene.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3,5-Bis(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile, its application will become more common.

These common heterocyclic compound, 6011-14-9, name is 2-Aminoacetonitrile hydrochloride, its 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. 6011-14-9

General procedure: 2-Aminoacetonitrile hydrochloride 2 (7.0 mmol) and sodium acetate (8.0 mmol) were dissolved in 35 mL of methanol. Aldehyde 1 (7.0 mmol) was added to the grey solution, and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature. A solid suspension was formed after a few minutes (for compounds 3a, 3c, 3f and 3g). The suspension was stirred for 2 h and the solid filtered and washed with cold methanol, leading to the pure product 3. A second crop was isolated from the mother liquor after complete removal of methanol in the rotary evaporator, addition of dichloromethane (40 mL) and dry flash chromatography of the solution using dichloromethane (4¡Á10 mL) as eluent. The solution was concentrated in the rotary evaporator and the yellow oil was kept at 0 C leading to the product 3 that was filtered and washed with cold diethyl ether. For compounds 3b, 3d, 3e and 3h-k, the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 2 h. The solvent was removed in the rotary evaporator and dichloromethane (40 mL) was added to the mixture. Dry flash chromatography of this mixture was performed using 20 mL of dichloromethane as eluent. The solvent was removed in the rotary evaporator leading to a solid product. Cold diethyl ether was added to the suspension, kept for a few minutes in an ice bath. The solid was filtered and washed with cold diethyl ether, leading to the pure (arylideneamino)acetonitrile 3.

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 6011-14-9.
