《BF3·OEt2-promoted tandem Meinwald rearrangement and nucleophilic substitution of oxiranecarbonitriles》 was published in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry in 2020. These research results belong to Xu, Chuangchuang; Xu, Jiaxi. Application In Synthesis of o-Bromobenzaldehyde The article mentions the following:
Tandem Meinwald rearrangement and nucleophilic substitution of oxiranenitriles was realized. Arylacetic acid derivatives were readily synthesized from 3-aryloxirane-2-carbonitriles with amines, alcs., or water in the presence of boron trifluoride under microwave irradiation, and the designed synthetic strategy includes introducing a cyano leaving group into arylepoxides and capturing the in-situ generated toxic cyanide with boron trifluoride, making the reaction efficient, safe and environmentally benign. The reaction occurred through an acid-promoted Meinwald rearrangement, producing arylacetyl cyanides, followed by an addition-elimination process with nitrogen or oxygen-containing nucleophilic amines, alcs. or water. The current method provided a new application of the tandem Meinwald rearrangement. In the part of experimental materials, we found many familiar compounds, such as o-Bromobenzaldehyde(cas: 6630-33-7Application In Synthesis of o-Bromobenzaldehyde)
o-Bromobenzaldehyde(cas: 6630-33-7) is used in L-threonine aldolase-catalyzed enantio/diastereoselective aldol reactions.Application In Synthesis of o-BromobenzaldehydeSynthetic applications of o-Bromobenzaldehyde include: synthesis of aza-fused polycyclic quinolines through copper-catalyzed cascade reaction, preparation of 1-substituted indazoles by CuI-catalyzed coupling with N-aryl hydrazides.
