TCI Practical Example: Introduction of Cyano Group with Homologation Using TosMIC
We are proud to present the synthesis of 2-cynoadamantane with homologation using TosMIC. TosMIC is an easy-to-handle and almost odorless solid.
-
Used Chemicals
-
- p-Toluenesulfonylmethyl Isocyanide (=TosMIC) [T1046]
- 2-Adamantanone [A0719]
- Potassium tert-Butoxide (= tBuOK) [P1008]
- 2,2-Dimethoxyethane (= DME)
- Ethanol (= EtOH)
-
Procedure
-
tBuOK (934 mg, 8.32 mmol, 2.5 eq.) was added to a solution of 2-adamantanone (500 mg, 3.33 mmol) and TosMIC (845 mg, 4.33 mmol, 1.3 eq.) in DME/EtOH (10.4 mL/0.8 mL), cooling with a water bath. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at room temperature and for 4 hours at 40 °C. The reaction mixture was filtered and the insoluble was washed with DME. The filtrate was concentrated under reduced pressure to a volume of 2-3 mL, and the residue was charged with neutral alumina (10 g), eluted with a mixture of hexane:dichloromethane = 5:1 (60 mL) and concentrated under reduce pressure to give 2-cyanoadamantane (441 mg, 82% yield) as a white solid.

Experimenter’s Comments
-
The reaction mixture was monitored by TLC (ethyl acetate:hexane = 1:10, Rf = 0.6).
