New Advances in Chemical Research, April 2021.21905-86-2. The transformation of simple hydrocarbons into more complex and valuable products via catalytic C–H bond functionalisation has revolutionised modern synthetic chemistry. Introduce a common compound, CAS is 21905-86-2, Name is Cinnoline-4-carboxylic acid, belongs to cinnolinecompound.
EXAMPLE 5 n-Propyl Cinnoline-4-carboxylate (5) A suspension of 870 mg of 1, and 850 mg of carbonyidimidazole (CDII) in 30 ml of tetrahydrofuran (THF) was stirred at room temperature until CO2 evolution ceased (ca. 30 minutes). After being stirred for 2 hours, the resulting mixture was treated with 320 mg of dry nypropanol and 3 drops of a 0.1 M solution of sodium imidazole in THE. The mixture was held at room temperature overnight, then the solvent was evaporated and the residue was partitioned between water and ether. The etheral extract was washed with saturated sodium bicarbonate solution, then with brine, then dried (MgSO4) and stripped in a rotary evaporator. The residue was chromatographed over silica gel, using a 1:1 v:v mixture of cyclohexane and ethyl acetate as eluent, to give 5, as a yellow oil.
But sometimes, even after several years of basic chemistry education, it is not easy to form a clear picture on how they govern reactivity!, 21905-86-2
