Sodium Cyanide → HCID 67132120, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

Sodium cyanide (0.194 g, 4 mmol) was added to a mixture of 4-amino-3 -fluorophenol (0.29 g, 2.28 mmol) and cyclobutanone (0.175 g, 2.5 mmol) in 90% acetic acid (3 ml). The reaction mixture was stirred at room temperature for 15 hours. The medium was washed with water and extracted with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over magnesium sulfate, concentrated and chromatographed (dichloromethane:acetone, 90:10) to yield 1-(2-fluoro-4 -hydroxyphenylamino)-cyclobutanecarbonitrile (53b) (0.271 g, 1.31 mmol, 58%) as an off-white solid. 1H NMR (CDCl3, 400 MHz) b 2.13-2.20 (m, 2H), 2.36-2.41 (m, 2H), 2.70.2.75 (m, 2H), 4.00 (bs, 1H), 6.46 (bs, 1H), 6.52 (ddd, J1=2.2 Hz, J2=0.65 Hz, J3=0.22 Hz, 1H), 6.57 (d, J=2.3 Hz), 6.62 (dd, J1=3.0 Hz, J2=0.67 Hz, 1H); 13C NMR (CDCl3, 100 MHz) δ 15.7, 34.1, 50.9, 104.0 (d, J=21.9 Hz), 111.0 (d, J=3.4 Hz), 115.8 (d, J=3.7 Hz), 121.8, 125.3 (d, J=12.3 Hz), 150.1 (d, J-21.9 Hz), 111.0 (d, J=152.8 (d, J-239.3 Hz).
