Discovery of 3-Chloro-5-trifluoromethylaniline

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.

Synthetic Route of 69411-05-8, A common heterocyclic compound, 69411-05-8, name is 3-Chloro-5-trifluoromethylaniline, molecular formula is C7H5ClF3N, its 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.

General procedure: To a solution of 3-chloroaniline 5a (37mg, 0.33mmol) in H2O (10mL cooled to-5C) was added 0.2mL of 2N HCl (aq.). To the resulting acidic aniline solution, 1N solution of sodium nitrite (0.33mL, 0.33mmol) was added dropwise to generate the aryldiazonium salt solution 6a. To the aryldiazonium salt solution was added sodium acetate (54mg, 0.66mmol), followed by 1mL solution of crude 3-oxo-3-(3-phenylisoxazol-5-yl)propanenitrile 4a (88mg, 0.33mmol) in ethanol. The reaction mixture was stirred at 0C for 5min, and then poured onto H2O (10mL) and extracted with ethyl acetate (20mL). The organic layer was dried over Na2SO4, filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure. The residue was purified by short column chromatography on silica gel, eluting with hexane/ethyl acetate (2/1) to provide the desired product 7 (67mg, 50% for two steps from 3a) as a yellow solid.

The basis of chemical reaction formula synthesis, the synthesis route is composed of some specific reactions and combined according to certain logical thinking. We look forward to the emergence of more reaction modes in the future.
