General description

2-Cyanobenzoic acid can be prepared from phthalic anhydride. Mass spectrophotometry, NMR, IR are extremely useful techniques to determine the ring-chain tautomeric equilibrium of 2-cyanobenzoic acid in all three phases. The standard (p° = 0.1MPa) molar enthalpy of formation of 2-cyanobenzoic acid is -(150.7 ± 2.0) kJ.mol-1.

Application

2-Cyanobenzoic acid may be used to synthesize phthalamidine.
Reactant involved in the synthesis of:
  • T-box riboswitch antiterminator RNA-binding oxazolidinone derivatives
  • Benzoate modified β-cyclodextrin derivatives
  • Pyrrolo[1,2-f]triazines for use as JAK2 inhibitors

Reactant involved in:
  • Decarboxylation
  • Decarboxylative halogenation
  • Protodecarboxylation
