Preparation method of O-methylbenzoyl nitrile

The method comprises the following steps: firstly dissolving o-methylbenzoic acid in a toluene solvent, dropping the dimethyl sulfoxide to carry out reaction, and removing a small amount of unreacted dichlorosulphoxide at low temperature after the reactio

A stretching of the intermediate O-methyl benzoyl nitrile synthetic method

The invention relates to a method for preparing a key intermediate methylbenzoyl cyanide in the process of synthesizing trifloxystrobin. The method comprises the following steps: adding o-toluoyl chloride, a solvent and a catalyst into a reaction kettle; introducing metered hydrocyanic acid gas, completely reacting under a heat insulating conditon to obtain methylbenzoyl cyanide, and carrying out back-distillation to obtain a methylbenzoyl cyanide product. The content of methylbenzoyl cyanide is over 99 percent and the yield can be over 95 percent metered in form of o-toluoyl chloride. The method is simple and convenient to operate, the utilization of the raw material o-toluoyl chloride is high; except the byproduct hydrochloric acid, almost no other wastes are generated, and atomic economic reaction is basically realized. The method is a synthesizing process with good economic prospect.

Rh-Catalyzed Asymmetric Hydrogenation of 1,2-Dicyanoalkenes

A highly efficient enantioselective hydrogenation of 1,2-dicyanoalkenes catalyzed by the complex of rhodium and f-spiroPhos has been developed. A series of 1,2-dicyanoalkenes were successfully hydrogenated to the corresponding chiral 1,2-dicyanoalkanes under mild conditions with excellent enantioselectivities (up to 98% ee). This methodology provides efficient access to the asymmetric synthesis of chiral diamines.
