Product Information

• Name: 2-(1H-Pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-(1H-Pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile is used as a catalyst for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. It can be prepared by reacting pyrrolidine with aniline in chloroform. Pyrrolidine is then reacted with 2-chlorobenzonitrile and the resulting product, 2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)benzonitrile, is isolated from the reaction mixture by extraction with diethyl ether. The compound has a ligand that binds to metal ions and is also used as a chelating agent. This property allows it to catalyse reactions involving nucleophiles and halides. It can also be used in amino acid coupling reactions, yielding amides or imines, respectively.
