use | p-bromobenzene acetonitrile is a nitrile compound. Nitrile compounds are a kind of organic compounds containing cyano group (-CN) and are important organic synthesis intermediates. Due to the high reactivity of cyano group, the corresponding amine compounds can be prepared through hydrogenation reaction. It is an important raw material for the manufacture of medicine, pesticides, dyes, fragrances, surfactants, etc., and is widely used in various fields of the national economy. |
Preparation | The suspension of 4-bromobenzyl bromide (5.00g,0.020 mol) and sodium cyanide (1.18g,0.024 mol,1.2 equivalents) in DMF-water (9:1,35 ml) was stirred at 40°C for 12 hours. The reaction mixture was quenched with water and extracted with EtOAc. The combined organic matter was successively washed with NaCl(sat) and dried with Na2SO4. Remove the solvent under reduced pressure to obtain 3.9g(89%) of the required product. |
