(B), 319-313 (1988), in nonpolar solvents to give isoxazole dinitriles 53a-h,k-s and bromonitrile 53i. The latter was treated with copper(I) cyanide to give dinitrile 53j. See Friedman. L., et al., J. Org. Chem., 26, 2522-2524 (1961). This method also afforded alternate routes to dinitriles 50a,b,g, k prepared by the first method as provided in Scheme 1. The phenylacetylene synthons 51a-g were prepared as shown in Scheme 3 below. Starting materials 60a,e,g were commercially available. Nitration of 60a gave 60b. See Borsche, W., L., et al., Chem. Ber., 49, 2222-2243 (1916). The latter was reduced to aniline 56, see Blanksma, J. J., et al., Recl. Trav. Chim. Pays-Bas, 66, 365-373 (1947), which underwent diazotization followed by treatment with copper(l) chloride to give chlorobenzene 60c. Triflate 60d was prepared by treatment of 4-bromo-3-hydroxybenzonitrile with triflic anhydride. The preparation of aryl iodide 60f began with the known transformation of aldehyde 57 to iodo derivative 58. See Lulinski, P., et al., Bull. Chem. Soc. Jpn., 73(4), 951-956 (2000). Treatment of 58 with hydroxylamine hydrochloride gave aldoxime 59, which was dehydrated to give nitrile 60f using acetic anhydride. The aryl halides or triflates 60a-g were treated with (trimethylsilyl)acetylene, see Roesch. K. R., et al., J. Org. Chem., 66, 412-420 (2001), or with 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol, see Bleicher, L. S., et al., J. Org. Chem., 63, 1109-1118 (1998), to give intermediates 61a-f or 62a-f, respectively, of which 61a,d and 62a have been reported previously. See Dirk. S. M., et al., Tetrahedron, 59(3), 287-293 (2003); Bleicher, L. S., et al., J. Org. Chem., 63, 1109-1118 (1998). The acetylenes 51 (of which 51a,e were known previously), see Blackburn, B. K., et al., J. Med. Chem., 40(5), 717-729 (1997); Dulog, L., et al., Liebigs Ann. Chem., 9, 1663-1671 (1995), were obtained by the treatment of intermediates 61 or 62 with cesium carbonate in acetonitrile or sodium hydride in toluene, respectively. See Bleicher, L. S., et al., J. Org. Chem., 63, 1109-1118 (1998). The use of cesium carbonate in acetonitrile was introduced for the deprotection of intermediates 61 after the treatment of compound 61b with potassium carbonate in methanol, see Blackburn, B. K., et al., J. Med. Chem., 40(5), 717-729 (1997), failed to give product 51b. The pathway using 2-methyl-3-butyn-2-ol provided more economical preparations of all phenylacetylenes 51 except nitro analog 51b.

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 3-Amino-4-bromobenzonitrile, its application will become more common.

Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 500912-18-5, name: 2-(2-Fluoro-6-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile

[0428] Under argon and at -78C., a mixture of 2.5 M butyllithium solution in hexane (13 ml, 33 mmol) and THF (50 ml) was added slowly to a solution of N,N-diisopropylethylamine (5.8 ml, 33 mmol) in THF (75 ml). The reaction mixture was allowed to warm to 0C., stirred at 0C. for 5 min and cooled back down again to -78C. A solution of (2-fluoro-6-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile (5.00 g, 30.3 mmol, CAS-RN 500912-18-5, commercially available) in THF (25 ml) was then added slowly. The reaction mixture was once more allowed to warm to 0C., stirred at 0C. for 5 min and cooled back down again to -78C. A solution of iodomethane (2.0 ml, 31.79 mmol) in THF (25 ml) was then added slowly. The mixture was stirred overnight, with the temperature gradually rising to RT. At 0C., saturated ammonium chloride solution and water (50 ml each) were then added and the mixture was shaken and extracted twice with ethyl acetate (150 ml each). The combined organic phases were washed once with saturated aqueous sodium chloride solution (200 ml), dried over sodium sulfate, filtered and concentrated, and the residue was taken up in dichloromethane and purified by flash column chromatography (400 g of silica gel Buchi Snap-Cartridge KP-Sil, cyclohexane/ ethyl acetate 9:1). The combined target fractions were concentrated, and the residue was (briefly) dried under reduced pressure. This gave 3.33 g (100% purity, 61% of theory) of the title compound.

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. 27387-23-1, name is 2-(2-Bromo-5-methoxyphenyl)acetonitrile, A new synthetic method of this compound is introduced below., Product Details of 27387-23-1

D. N, N-DIMETHYL-5-METHOXY-2-BROMOPHENYLACETAMIDE 5-Methoxy-2-bromobenzoic acid (85 g, 0.37 mol) is dissolved in anhydrous THF (100 mL) and cooled in an ice-salt bath until the temperature REACHES-5 C. Borane-THF complex is added dropwise as a 1.0 M solution in THF (736 mL, 0.74 mol) AT-5C. After addition is complete, the reaction mixture is slowly warmed to room temperature and stirred for 12 hours. Water (40 mL) is slowly added dropwise and the reaction mixture stirred for 30 minutes. Additional water (350 mL) is added and the mixture is concentrated by rotary evaporator to remove most of the THF. The remaining material is extracted with EtOAc (800 mL). The organic layer is washed with saturated NAHCO3 (500 mL), brine (250 mL) and then dried (NA2SO4). UPON REMOVAL of the solvent by rotary evaporator, 5-methoxy-2- bromobenzyl alcohol is obtained as a white solid. 5-Methoxy-2-bromobenzyl alcohol (79.5 g, 0.37 mol) is dissolved in 48% HBr (400 mL) and heated to reflux temperature for 4 hours. The reaction mixture is cooled to room temperature and poured into water (1500 mL). The solution is extracted with EtOAc (2 x 500 mL). The combined organic layers are dried (MGS04) and concentrated by rotary evaporator. The crude material is then purified using flash chromatography (CH2CI2/hexanes, from 1: 1 to 4: 1) to give 5-methoxy-2-bromobenzyl bromide. 5-METHOXY-2-BROMOBENZYL bromide (72.8 g, 0.26 mol) is dissolved in EtOH (280 mL) and stirred at room temperature. Sodium cyanide (38.2 g, 0.78 mol) is dissolved in water and added to the solution of the bromide. The reaction mixture is heated to reflux temperature for 3 hours and then cooled to room temperature. Most of the ethanol is removed by rotary evaporator. A solid forms which is isolated by filtration and washed with water (500 mL). The crude material is purified using flash chromatography (CH2CI2/HEXANES, 1: 1) to give 5-methoxy-2-bromophenylacetonitrile (53 g). 5-Methoxy-2-bromophenylacetonitrile (52.8 g, 0.23 mol) is dissolved in ethanol (250 mL) and stirred at room temperature. Sodium hydroxide (9.3 g, 0.47 mol) is dissolved in water (150 mL) and added to the solution of the nitrile. The mixture is heated to reflux temperature for 12 hours and then cooled to room temperature. Most of the ethanol is removed using a rotary evaporator and the residual aqueous solution adjusted to pH 4 with 3 N HCI. The solid which forms is isolated by filtration and washed with water. Air drying gives 5-methoxy-2-bromophenylacetic acid. 5-Methoxy-2-bromophenylacetic acid (56 g, 0.23 mol) is dissolved in CH2CI2 (350 mL) and a catalytic amount of DMF is added and the solution stirred and cooled to 0C. Thionyl chloride (41 mL, 0.34 mol) is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is heated at reflux temperature overnight and then cooled to room temperature. Solvents are removed by rotary evaporator. Twice benzene (500 mL) is added to the residual oil and the benzene solution is evaporated by rotary evaporator to remove any additional volatile components. The residual oil is crystallized from hexanes to give 5-methoxy-2-bromophenylacetyl chloride. 5-Methoxy-2-bromophenylacetyl chloride (60 g, 0.23 mol) is dissolved in anhydrous ET20 (400 mL), stirred and cooled in an ice bath. A 2 M solution of DIMETHYLAMINE (228 mL, 0.46 mol) is added dropwise and the mixture allowed to warm to room temperature and stirred for 2 hours. Additional ET20 (500 mL) is added. The organic solution is washed with 1 N HCI (2 x 500 mL), saturated NAHCO3 (500 mL) and brine (500 mL). The organic layer is dried (NA2SO4) and concentrated by rotary evaporator. The residue is purified using flash chromatography (hexanes/EtOAc, from 7: 3 to 1: 9). Trituration of the crude product with ET20/HEXANES gives N, N-DIMETHYL-5-METHOXY-2-BROMOPHENYLACETAMIDE AS a white crystalline solid (m. p. 88-90C).
