Sodium hydride → HCID 69719929, 화합물

3-Hydroxy-4-nitrobenzaldehyde (2) (4.18 g, 25 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous DMF (100 mL). To this solution was added benzyl bromide (3.27 mL, 27.5 mmol) and potassium carbonate (3.8 g, 27.5 mmol). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 18 h, filtered and evaporated. The residue was taken up into ethyl acetate (250 mL) and water (250 mL). The organic layer was washed with brine (50 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated leaving 3-benzyloxy-4-nitro-benzaldehyde (3) as an orange solid (6.31 g, 98% yield): 1HNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 10.05 (s, 1H), 8.08 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.91 (s, 1H), 7.67 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.45 (m, 5H), 5.40 (s, 2H); 13CNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 192.4, 151.2, 143.5, 139.9, 135.9, 128.9, 128.6, 127.9, 125.9, 122.7, 115.5, 71.1. To a suspension of sodium hydride (0.29 g, 12 mmol) in anhydrous THF (25 mL) at 0° C. was added via dropping funnel diethyl cyanomethylphosphonate (4) (1.94 mL, 12 mmol) in anhydrous THF (5 mL) followed by 3-benzyloxy-4-nitro-benzaldehyde (3) (2.6 g, 10 mmol) in anhydrous THF (30 mL). The reaction mixture was warmed up to room temperature and stirred for 2 h. The solvent was evaporated and the residue was taken up into ethyl acetate (50 mL) and water (25 mL). The organic phase was washed with brine (25 mL), dried over MgSO4, filtered and evaporated leaving 3-(3-benzyloxy-4-nitro-phenyl)-acrylonitrile (5) as an orange-red solid (0.28 g, 100% yield): 1HNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.04 (d, J=8.0 Hz, 1H), 7.77 (s, 1H), 7.71 (d, J=16.6 Hz, 1H), 7.45 (m, 6H), 6.72 (d, J=16.6 Hz, 1H), 5.33 (s, 2H); 13CNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 151.4, 148.9, 140.8, 139.5, 136.0, 128.9, 128.6, 128.0, 126.0, 120.7, 118.5, 114.5, 101.3, 71.1; MS calculated for C16H12N2O3 (M)+: 280. found 280. 3-(3-Benzyloxy-4-nitro-phenyl)-(5) (0.28 g, 1.0 mmol) was dissolved in anhydrous methanol (20 mL). To this solution was added 10% palladium on carbon (56 mg, 20% wt) under a blanket of carbon dioxide. The hydrogenation was carried out under 60 psi of hydrogen at room temperature for 4 h, filtered through a pad of Celite and evaporated to yield an orange oil. This oil was stirred in hexane, decanted and vacuum dried leaving 3-(4-amino-3-hydroxy-phenyl)-propionitrile (1) as an orange solid (0.58 g, 100% yield): 1HNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 8.81 (bs, 1H), 6.31 (m, 3H), 4.30 (bs 2H), 3.18 (s, 2H), 2.35 (s, 2H); 13CNMR (400 MHz, DMSO-d6) δ 144.3, 135.5, 127.1, 120.8, 119.6, 114.9, 30.5, 19.2; MS calculated for C9H10N2O (M)+: 162. found 162.
