Use | 2-bromo-5-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid is an organic intermediate, which can be obtained from 4-bromo-trifluorotoluene as raw material. 1-bromo-2-iodo-4-trifluoromethylbenzene is obtained by iodine first, and then 2-bromo-5-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid is prepared. |
preparation | 2,6,6-tetramethylhexahydropiperidine (22.5ml,133.4mmol) was added to n-BuLi(26.7ml 2.5M solution in tetrahydrofuran (THF), 66.7mmol) THF(130ml) solution at -78 ℃. Stir the mixture at -78°C for 30 minutes, then carefully reduce it to -100°C using liquid nitrogen. Pure 1-bromo-4-(trifluoromethyl) benzene (15g, 66.7mmol) was added. The mixture was kept at -100 ℃ for 6 hours and poured on fresh crushed dry ice. The resulting mixture was stirred at room temperature for 16 hours. Evaporation removes residual solvent. Add water (150ml) and extract the mixture with ether (50ml three times). The water layer was acidified with concentrated hydrochloric acid (HCl) and extracted with dichloromethane (50ml three times). The combined organic layer was washed with saturated sodium chloride (75ml), dried with magnesium sulfate (MgSO4), filtered and concentrated to produce a white solid (5.41g) of 2-bromo-5-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid. 1H NMR(300MHz, chloroform-D)δ ppm 7.7(dd,J = 8.4,2.3Hz,1H) 7.9(d,J = 8.4Hz,1H)8.3(d,J = 2.0Hz,1H);MS(ES) calculation value: 267.93, measurement value: 266.7(M-1). |
