Sodium hydride → HCID 66834104, compound

Participants

Reaction Steps

To a mixture of 3-amino-4-bromo-benzonitrile (1.98 g, 10 mmol), TEA (5.06 g, 50 mmol), and methylene chloride (50 ml), mesyl chloride (2.71 ml, 35 mmol) was added at 0° C. and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 30 min. Water was added to the reaction solution, which was then extracted with dichloromethane. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the residues obtained after concentration under reduced pressure were added with tetrahydrofuran (100 ml), water (400 μl) and sodium hydride (540 mg, 15.5 mmol), and stirred at room temperature for 16 hr. To the reaction solution, saturated aqueous solution of ammonium chloride (200 ml) was added followed by extraction with ethyl acetate. The organic layer was dried over sodium sulfate. The drying agent was removed by filtration and the residues obtained after concentration under reduced pressure were purified by silica gel column chromatography (hexane/ethyl acetate) to obtain the title compound (2.48 g, 90%).
