Sodium hydride → 3-Nitro-4-(propylamino)benzonitrile

Participants

Reaction Steps

In DMF (20 ml), 3-nitro-4-aminobenzonitrile (1.12 g) was dissolved, and the solution was added with 60% sodium hydride (411 mg), followed by stirring at room temperature for 30 minutes. The solution was added with 1-iodopropane (805 μl) and stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. After completion of the reaction, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure and the residue was then dissolved in ethyl acetate. The resultant was washed with water and then subjected to extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was washed with a saturated saline solution and dried with anhydrous sodium sulfate.
