反应详情

A mixture 4-fluorobenzonitrile (3 g, 25 mmol) and imidazolyl sodium (2.48 g, 27.5 mmol) in DMF (50 mL) was stirred at 80° C. under Ar for 12 h. Progress of reaction was monitored by TLC. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo and the residue was diluted with 50 mL water and stirred. The aqueous mixture was extracted with EtOAc (2×50 mL). Combined EtOAc extracts was dried over anhydrous MgSO4, concentrated, and the 4-(1-imidazolyl)-benzonitrile was isolated by column chromatography (3.6 g, 78%). LCMS: MH+=170; 1H NMR (CDCl3) δ 8.0 (s, 1H), 7.5 (d, 2H), 7.4 (m, 3H), 7.3 (d, 1H)
