Reference of 928783-85-1,Some common heterocyclic compound, 928783-85-1, name is 1-Bromo-3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, molecular formula is C7H3BrClF3, traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route.
In a 500 ml multineck flask with low-temperature thermometer, dropping funnel and argon balloon, 5.5 g (0.228 mol, 1.3 eq) of magnesium turnings (activated with dibromoethane and washed with diethyl ether) were blanketed with 120 ml of diethyl ether. At 0 C., 45.5 g of 3-bromo-5-chlorobenzotrifluoride (0.175 mol, 1 eq) in 120 ml of diethyl ether were slowly added dropwise. The reaction started up of its own accord after a few minutes, with a colour change (red-brown) and heating; the temperature was kept at about 0 C. during the addition. On completion of addition of the bromide, the mixture was stirred for a further 30 min.A separate 2 l 3-neck flask with low-temperature thermometer, dropping funnel and argon balloon was initially charged with 32.4 g of ethyl trifluoroacetate (0.228 mol, 1.3 eq) in 250 ml of diethyl ether, and cooled to -80 C. At this temperature, the Grignard reagent (cooled to -10 C.) was slowly added dropwise. On completion of addition, the reaction mixture was stirred at -80 C. for a further 30 min. Thereafter, the reaction mixture was warmed to -10 C. and acidified with 10% hydrochloric acid. The resulting mixture was admixed with saturated NaCl solution, the phases were separated and the aqueous phase was washed with 200-300 ml of diethyl ether. The combined ethereal phases were dried over magnesium sulphate and the solvent was subsequently removed on a rotary evaporator.The resulting crude product was purified by vacuum distillation (71 C. at 18 mbar). 37.7 g (78% of theory) of 1-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2,2,2-trifluoroethanone were obtained as a colourless oil. This was converted further without further purification.
These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 1-Bromo-3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, its application will become more common.
