Chemical Properties

White crystalline powder

Uses

4-Phenoxybenzonitrile may be used to synthesize 5-(4-phenoxy)phenyltetrazole.

General Description

4-Phenoxybenzonitrile can be prepared from the tris(3,6-dioxaheptyl)amine-catalyzed nucleophilic aromatic substitution reaction of 4-chlorobenzonitrile with phenol. It can also be prepared by reacting 4-cyanophenol, iodobenzene and CsF/Clinoptilolite (CsF/CP) in DMSO.
