Application | benzyl 3-bromocyanide is an organic intermediate, 2-(3-bromophenyl) Acetamide can be prepared from 3-bromophenylacetic acid and then dehydrated to give benzyl 3-bromocyanide. |
Use | 3-bromocyanogen is a hydrocarbon derivative and can be used as an organic reagent. for organic synthesis |
preparation | step 1, synthesis of 2-(3-bromophenyl) acetamide under nitrogen atmosphere, 1-hydroxybenzotriazole (HOBT,13.82g,102.3 mmol),N-ethyldiisopropylamine (13.22g,102.3 mmol) and ammonium carbonate (27.0g,279.0 mmol) add to a solution of 3-bromophenylacetic acid (20.0g,93.0 mmol) in freshly dried and distilled tetrahydrofuran (80 mL). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 5 minutes, then cooled to 0 °c and stirred at the same temperature for about 1 hour. 1-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-3-ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride (EDCI.HCl,19.61g,102.3mmol) was added at 0 °c under nitrogen. the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 12 hours. The solvent was evaporated under vacuum and water was added to give a white solid, which was filtered, washed with water and dried to give 2-(3-bromophenyl) acetamide, yield 12.69g. Step 2, synthesis of 3-bromocyanobenzyl 2-(3-bromophenyl) acetamide (10.0g,46.73mmol) in dry 1, 4-dioxane (100mL) cool to 0 °c, add triethylamine (18.91g,187.92mmol), and stir the reaction mixture for about 10 minutes. Trifluoroacetic anhydride (39.26g,186.92mmol) was added dropwise at 0 °c and the reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for about 12 hours. The reaction mixture was poured into cold water, extracted with ethyl acetate, washed with water, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, filtered, and the solvent was evaporated under vacuum to give an oily residue, which was purified by silica gel column chromatography, elution with ethyl acetate and hexane (1: 49) gave the title compound as a light yellow oil. Yield: 8.4g. |
