application | 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid is an important electronic chemical photoinitiator The raw material is also a pharmaceutical intermediate with great development potential. |
synthesis method | there are mainly the following synthesis methods for 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid:(1)Johansson et al. directly heated to hydrolyze 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid under strong alkaline conditions to obtain 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid (WO2004110344, December 23, 2004). The method is simple and the yield is high, but the synthetic route of raw material 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzonitrile is complicated and the cost is high. (2)Brunck et al. used 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene as raw material, reacted in a format to obtain magnesium salt, and then reacted with dry ice to obtain 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid (US6342504,2002.01.29). Rudolph et al. used 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene as raw material, and reacted with butyl lithium at low temperature (-78 ℃), and then reacted with dry ice to obtain 5-fluoro-2-methylbenzoic acid (WO2004050651,2004.06.15). The reaction conditions of these two methods are relatively harsh, requiring anhydrous and oxygen-free reaction, and lithiation reaction also requires ultra-low temperature operation, which is not conducive to industrial scale-up production. Moreover, the synthesis of raw material 2-bromo-5-fluorotoluene is also complicated and costly. |
