uses | methyl 4-bromobutyrate can be used to prepare cyclopropyl cyanide derivatives, which are important highly active compounds and are widely used in drug synthesis as pharmaceutical intermediates. |
preparation | dissolve 5g of 4-bromobutyric acid in 100 mL of methanol, add 3.3 mL of thionyl chloride dropwise at room temperature, continue to react for 1 hour after dropping, remove the solvent and excess thionyl chloride under reduced pressure to obtain 5.4g of colorless liquid. The yield is 99.6%. |
