4′-Butyl-4-cyanobiphenyl Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

General procedure: The first reaction stage was carried out in a similar manner as described earlier:1 metallic sodium (237 mg, 10.3 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of dinitrile 1 (640 mg, 5.0 mmol) in liquid ammonia (40-50 mL) at -33 under an atmosphere of evaporating ammonia. The mixture was kept for 5 min thus providing a dark-brown suspension of the dianion 12- salt. Monocarbonitrile 2 (10.0 mmol) was added to a stirred suspension of 12- salt and the reaction mixture was stirred for 1.5 h at -33 , then the alkyl halide 6 (10 mmol) was added and stirring was continued for 1.5 h. Then Et2O (ca. 30 mL) was added and the reaction mixture was put into contact with air. The stirring was continued until the ammonia was evaporated completely and room temperature was reached. Water (ca. 30 mL) was poured onto the residue to dissolve inorganic salts. The Et2O layer was separated, the products from the water fraction were extracted with Et2O (3 × 30 mL). The combined organic extract was washed with brine, dried with MgSO4, the desiccant was filtered off and the solvent was removed. The crude residue was analyzed by 1H NMR spectroscopy and GC-MS. Then the excess of alkyl halide, benzonitrile 2 and partially products 7-9 were distilled under reduced pressure with heating to 70-80C. The pure products were isolated via preparative TLC on glass plates with a fixed layer of silica gel (60 PF254, Merck) and hexane/Et2O mixture (10 vol % of Et2O) as eluent.
