Benzonitrile, 4-bromo-

Uses4- Bromobenzonitrile is classified as organic nitriles, which are commonly use solvents and are reacted further for various applications such as manufacture of polymers and intermediates for pharmaceu ticals and other organic chemicals,

Uses4-Bromobenzonitrile is used as reagents and solvents. Reaction of 2-propanol, 4-bromobenzonitrile, and NaH in the presence of 1.5 mol % Pd2(dba)3 and 3 mol % (S)-(-)2,2-bis(di-p-tolylphosphino)- 1,1-binaphthyl at 50°C afforded 4-isopropoxy- benzonitrile in 80% isolated yield. The synthesis of 4-cyanobiphenyl at room temperature in a flow injection microreactor, using a supported catalyst, without the addition of a base gave a product yield of 67±7% (n=6). This was achieved by injecting 4-bromobenzonitrile. The 3-arylation of 2,5-dimethylthiophene with 4-bromopropiophenone, 4-trifluoromethylbromobenzene or 4-bromobenzonitrile gave 3-5 in only 38-50% yields in Palladium-catalysed direct 3-or 4-arylation of thiophene derivatives using aryl bromides.
