alpha-Methylphenylacetonitrile Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Synthesis

CN201811310926.5 provides a method for methylating phenylacetonitrile based on pressure distillation technology, including the following steps:

Synthetic route of ALPHA-METHYLPHENYLACETONITRILE

1) Phenylacetonitrile, sodium alkoxide, and dimethyl carbonate (dimethyl carbonate serves as both a methylating agent and a solvent) are mixed in a molar ratio of 1:0.1~0.4:4~10, and reacted at a pressure of 2±0.2 MPa and a reaction temperature of 160~200℃ for 4~8 h;

2) After the reaction is complete, cool the mixture (100 ± 5 °C) to allow it to undergo first atmospheric distillation, followed by vacuum distillation (20 mmHg). Collect the fraction at 108–113 °C to obtain ALPHA-METHYLPHENYLACETONITRILE as the product.
