Participants

Reaction Steps

A solution containing 1-[bis-(2-chloroethoxy)methyl]-4-fluorobenzene (5.43 g), trimethylsilyl cyanide (4.06 mL) and tetracyanoethylene (520 mg) in acetonitrile (100 mL) was heated under reflux for four hours. The reaction solution was returned to room temperature and the solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. Ethyl acetate and brine were added to the residue, and the organic layer was separated. The organic layer was dried over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The solvent was evaporated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by silica gel column chromatography (carrier: Chromatorex, elution solvent: heptane/ethyl acetate) to obtain the title compound (4.3 g). The property values of the compound are as follows.
