Product Name:4-Nitrophthalonitrile
CAS Number:31643-49-9
Molecular formula:C8H3N3O2
Molecular Weight:173.13

4-Nitrophthalonitrile is used as a useful chemical in organic synthesis, as a dye and as a metabolite.
Synthesis of 4-Nitrophthalonitrile:SOCl2 (83.5 mL. 1.144 mol) was added dropwise under nitrogen purge to dry DMF (200 mL) which had been cooled to 0-5 °C. The solution was allowed to stir for 15 min at 0-5 °C. The 4-nitrophthalamide (60.1 g, 0.286 mol) was then added and the solution was allowed to slowly warm to room temperature and react for 18 h under nitrogen purge. The solution was then slowly added to ice water to crystallize and precipitate the product. The 4-nitrophthalonitrile was collected using vacuum filtration, washed with ice cold water, and allowed to air dry overnight; yield: 45.2 g (92%); m.p.: 141 °C (det. by DSC)

Steps:

2.4 Synthesis of 4-nitrophthalonitrile (3)
The thionyl chloride (286mol) was slowly added to 50mL of N,N-dimethylformamide at a temperature lower than 5°C, was stirred in an argon atmosphere. 15g of 4-nitrophthalamide was added and the reaction was maintained for 18h. The crude product was precipitated from a mixture of water-ice [1]. Yield 89%; ¹H NMR (300MHz, DMSO-d₆; δ: ppm): 8.44 (d, J=8.7, 1H, H-Ar); 8.68 (dd, J=2.1Hz, J=8.4Hz, 1H, H-Ar); 9.04 (d, J=2.1, 1H, H-Ar). ¹³C NMR (75MHz, DMSO-d₆, δ): 114.55; 114.86; 116.60; 120.22; 128.53; 128.81; 135.27; 149.70. FTIR: 3090 (C-H aromatic); 2245 (CN); 1534 (asymmetric N-O band); 1351 (symmetric N-O band); 852 (C-N).
