Overview | 4-methoxy-2, 3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol, English name 4-Methoxymethyl-2,3,5,6-tetraFluoro benzenemethanol, Chinese alias 4-methoxymethyl -2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol, 4-methoxymethyl -2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol, tetrafluoro-p-methoxymethyl benzyl alcohol, 4-methoxymethyl-2, 3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol, 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro-4-methoxymethylbenzyl alcohol, CAS No. 83282-91-1, molecular formula C9H8F4O2, molecular weight 224.15200;PSA:29.46000;Log P:1.88170. Density 1.407, boiling point 214°C, Flash Point 107°C, refractive index 1.464. 4-methoxy-2, 3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol is useful as a synthetic insecticide, trimethoprim, a potent novel synthetic pyrethroid, with a high degree of vapor activity against mosquitoes. |
synthesis | Method 1: 1,2,4, 5-tetrafluorobenzene was used as the starting material for the reaction, production of 4-methoxymethyl -2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol: Method 2: through 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro-1, 4-methoxymethyl-2-3, 5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol is produced by selective methylation of 4-benzenedimethanol. The specific steps are as follows: 1)2,3, reaction of 5, 6-tetrafluoro-1, 4-benzenedimethanol with inorganic base in water and water-immiscible organic solvents selected from hydrocarbons and ethers, 2) dimethyl sulfate and optionally a water-immiscible organic solvent are added to the reaction mixture to obtain the objective compound 4-methoxy-2, 3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. In 2nd), the reaction must be carried out in water and a water-immiscible organic solvent selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons and ethers. Examples of water-immiscible organic solvents include aromatic hydrocarbons such as toluene and xylene, aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane and heptane and others such as tert-butyl methyl ether. |
