Azobisisobutyronitrile → 4-Cyano-3-fluorobenzyl bromide

Participants

Reaction Steps

N-Bromosuccinimide and AIBN were added to a carbon tetrachloride solution of 2-fluoro-4-methylbenzonitrile, followed by heating under reflux to obtain 4-(bromomethyl)-2-fluorobenzonitrile. By allowing this to react with morpholine in DMF in the presence of potassium carbonate, 2-fluoro-4-(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)benzonitrile was obtained. In DMF and in the presence of potassium carbonate, this was allowed to react with cyclohexanamine at 160° C. for 30 minutes while carrying out microwave irradiation. By post-treating the reaction liquid, 2-(cyclohexylamino)-4-(morpholin-4-ylmethyl)benzonitrile was obtained.
