Chemistry is traditionally divided into organic and inorganic chemistry. category: indole-building-block. The former is the study of compounds containing at least one carbon-hydrogen bonds.In a patent，Which mentioned a new discovery about 15861-36-6
The invention discloses a method for preparing aromatic nitrile, is under the action of the nickel catalyst, in order to carboxamide is the cyanogen source, and with various substituents haloarene coupled reactions, preparing aromatic nitrile. The reaction temperature is 100 – 160 C, the reaction time is 6 – 24 hours. It overcomes the traditional aromatic nitrile of the synthesis method operation of complex steps, requires the use of a toxic, more expensive, functionalization of the cyanogen source as the reaction raw material and the like. Compared with the traditional method, this method is simple to use cheap, green non-toxic of the formamide is cyano sources; without the need of external dehydrating agent, formamide in the nickel catalyst of the catalytic dehydration at the same time, with a nickel catalyst in coordination with the halogenated aromatic hydrocyanation, more economic, high-efficiency, environmental protection; at the same time the method exhibits good substrate universality, to air, moisture, light are not sensitive, high yield, product separation and purification is simple, with wide application.

Note that a catalyst decreases the activation energy for both the forward and the reverse reactions and hence accelerates both the forward and the reverse reactions.category: indole-building-block, you can also check out more blogs about15861-36-6
