Introduction | 4-chloro trifluorotoluoride (4-chloro benzotrifluoride) is a colorless transparent liquid with a halogenated benzene odor. The compound is insoluble in water and miscible with benzene, toluene, ethanol, diethyl ether, halogenated hydrocarbons, etc. |
Application | p-chlorotrifluorotoluene is an important intermediate in organic synthesis, containing fluorine atoms to give it special activity, in medicine, pesticides, dyes and other fields of fine organic synthesis are widely used. P-chlorotrifluorotoluene is a key intermediate for the synthesis of a variety of fluorine-containing insecticides and herbicides on pesticides. At present, the most used are the synthesis of trifluralin, ethidine trifluoromethyl, fluorine Ester oxime ether, fluorine iodoamine grass ether, as well as the carboxyl fluoride ether herbicide, etc. |
uses | p-chlorotrifluorotoluene is the herbicide trifluralin, ethoxyfluoroxane, the intermediates of milk fluorine and grass spirit, etc. This product is used as trifluralin, ethidine trifluralin, fluoroester oxime grass ether, fluoroiodoamine grass ether, and carboxyfluoroether herbicide, etc. It can also be used in synthetic medicine, in addition, it can also be used in the dye industry. used as pesticide, medicine, dye and other intermediates |
production method | p-chlorotoluene is obtained by side chain light chlorination and liquid phase fluorination: chlorination: P-chlorotoluene was put into a photo-chlorination reactor, heated to 120-150 ° C., and subjected to chlorine reaction under the irradiation of a fluorescent lamp. The reaction solution was analyzed by gas chromatography every 10-15min. The reaction was stopped when the p-chlorotoluene content was more than 90%. The product was distilled under reduced pressure to obtain p-chloro-trichlorotoluene. The yield was 90-95%. Fluorination: P-chloro-trichlorotoluene was put into a fluorination reaction kettle, and 4-5 times of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride was added in a molar ratio. After raising the temperature, the reaction was carried out at 1.9-2.4MPa until the reaction pressure did not rise any more. The hydrogen chloride gas released in the reaction process is absorbed by alkali, and the reactant is neutralized and distilled by steam to obtain a crude product. The p-chlorotrifluorotoluene liquid with a boiling range of 138-140 ° C. Is obtained by frequent pressure distillation. The yield was 80-90%. The preparation method is to add P-chlorotrichlorotoluene to the fluorination reactor, cool the condenser with chilled brine, press the metered liquid hydrogen fluoride from the cylinder with dry air to the fluorination reactor, and then add the catalyst, the control valve is closed, and the reaction is stirred and heated. The hydrogen fluoride produced by the reaction is condensed and refluxed with volatile hydrogen fluoride and organic matter, and the condensed and recovered liquid hydrogen fluoride is stored in the recovery tank. After the reaction is finished, the fluorinated product P-chlorotrifluorotoluene enters the distillation kettle, the product is obtained by heating and distillation under vacuum system. |
