Discovery of 2,6-Dichlorotoluene

At the same time, in my other blogs, there are other synthetic methods of this type of compound, 2,6-Dichlorotoluene, and friends who are interested can also refer to it.

Adding a certain compound to certain chemical reactions, such as: 118-69-4, name is 2,6-Dichlorotoluene, belongs to chlorides-buliding-blocks compound, can increase the reaction rate and produce products with better performance than those obtained under traditional synthetic methods. Here is a downstream synthesis route of the compound 118-69-4, Computed Properties of C7H6Cl2

EXAMPLE 1-1 Preparation of 2,4-dichloro-3-methylbromobenzene To a solution of 48.8 g (0.3 mol) of 2,6-dichlorotoluene in 60 ml of carbon tetrachloride, 0.7 g of iron powder and 0.1 g of iodine were added. Then, 52.8 g (0.33 mol) of bromine was dropwise added thereto at room temperature while maintaining the reaction temperature at a level of from 22 to 25 C. After completion of the dropwise addition, the reaction was continued at the same temperature until generation of hydrogen bromide ceased. After the reaction, the reaction solution was added to 300 ml of ice water and extracted with 300 ml of 1,2-dichloroethane. The organic layer was separated and washed sequentially with water, a saturated sodium hydrogen sulfite aqueous solution, water and a saturated sodium chloride aqueous solution. Then, the solvent was distilled off under reduced pressure to obtain 71.9 g (yield: 99.5%) of desired 2,4-dichloro-3-methylbromobenzene. Melting point: 32-33 C.
