(4-Chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-acetonitrile → HCID 59249448, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

In a manner similar to the method described in Example 1b, 4-chloro-2-fluorophenylacetonitrile (2.8 g, 16.6 mmol) was reacted with 5-chloro-2-methoxybenzaldehyde (Matrix) (3.4 g, 19.9 mmol), methanolic solution (25 wt %) of sodium methoxide (4.17 mL, 18 mmol) in methanol (100 mL) at 50° C. for 3 h to give (Z)-2-(4-chloro-2-fluoro-phenyl)-3-(5-chloro-2-methoxy-phenyl)-acrylonitrile as a white solid (2.0 g, 37%).
