| | (3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetonitrile Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | white to almost white crystals or cryst. needles | | Uses | (3,4-Dimethoxyphenyl)acetonitrile has been used in the synthesis of (Z)-3-(benzo[b]thiophen-2-yl)-2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)acrylonitrile. It has also been used in the preparation of modified diterpene (±) nimbidiol which relies on a sulfenium ion promoted polyene cyclization. | | Uses | An Impurity of Verapamil (V125000). An intermediate in the preparation of the muscle relaxant Papverine (P190500). | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Journal of the American Chemical Society, 57, p. 1126, 1935 DOI: 10.1021/ja01309a053
Tetrahedron Letters, 24, p. 4533, 1983 DOI: 10.1016/S0040-4039(00)85947-X | | Purification Methods | Its solubility is 10% in MeOH, and it has been recrystallised from EtOH or MeOH. Purify it also by distillation followed by recrystallisation.
