(4-Chlorophenyl)acetonitrile Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The preparation method is to add solid sodium cyanide and water into the reactor, heat to 40°C to dissolve the sodium cyanide, add a phase transfer catalyst, and then add p-chlorobenzyl chloride dropwise at a temperature of 40-60°C, dropwise add After completion, the reaction was stirred at 85°C for 4h, and after cooling, it was treated to obtain p-chlorobenzyl cyanide.

Uses

Used as an intermediate for pyrimethamine and in the synthesis of medicines and dyes; p-chlorobenzyl cyanide, or p-chlorobenzene acetonitrile, is an intermediate for preparing 3-methyl-2-(4-chlorophenyl) butyric acid, It can be used to prepare pyrethroid insecticides such as fenvalerate and deltamethrin, and can be used in the pharmaceutical industry to prepare pyrimethamine; an intermediate for the drug pyrimethamine. Used in the manufacture of p-chlorobenzyl alcohol, p-chlorobenzaldehyde, p-chlorobenzene acetonitrile, etc. An intermediate for the synthesis of ER-330 fluorescent whitening agent, which can also be used in pesticides and medicine.
