| Uses | 4-trifluoromethyl nicotinic acid is a useful synthetic intermediate. It can be used to prepare picolinamide as a palmitic inhibitor of HCV NS5B polymerase. It can also be used to synthesize pyrazolyl formanilide as an inhibitor of Ca2 + (CRAC) channels activated by Ca2 + release. |
| introduction | 4-trifluoromethyl nicotinic acid is a trifluoromethyl aromatic compound with unique biological activity. it can be used as a precursor substance for preparing other pesticides or medicines. |
| application | pyridine-containing heterocyclic compounds have received extensive attention due to their strong physiological activity in organisms, and many commodities have been successfully developed, such as imidacloprid, acetamiprid, nitenpyridine, etc. Fluidamide is a nicotinamide compound containing trifluoromethyl. It is a highly efficient insecticide. 4-Trifluoromethyl nicotinic acid is the key intermediate of fluidamide. The difficulty of the synthesis process of fluidamide lies in the synthesis of the intermediate 4-trifluoromethyl nicotinic acid. However, the synthesis of 4-trifluoromethyl nicotinic acid faces great challenges, which limits the promotion and use of fluidamide. |
| preparation | 5g(0.0192mol)2,6-dichloro -4-trifluoromethyl nicotinic acid, 0.3g 10% Pd/C (water content 63.45%),5.25g(0.0389mol)CH3COONa · 3H2O and 20mL ethanol were sequentially added into a 100mL three-mouth flask. after stirring and dissolving, nitrogen was replaced to discharge the air three times, after hydrogen replacement for 2 times, the reaction is stirred at room temperature in a hydrogen atmosphere for 8 hours until no hydrogen absorption ends the reaction, the palladium carbon is recovered by suction filtration, the filter cake is washed with ethanol for 3 times, the filtrate is swirled to remove the solvent, 20mL of water is added to the obtained solid, fully oscillated to dissolve it, hydrochloric acid is added to adjust pH = 2~3, ethyl acetate is used for extraction for 3 times, organic phase is combined and saturated salt water is washed for 3 times, anhydrous sodium sulfate is dried and steamed to obtain 3.3g of light yellow solid with 90.4% yield. |
