Uses | Trichloroacetyl isocyanate is an organic intermediate that can be obtained by reacting 2,2, 2-trichloroacetamide with oxalyl chloride as raw material. There are reports that it can be used to prepare cefuroxime axetil. |
Preparation | The reaction mixture of 2,2, 2-trichloroacetamide (100g, 616 mmol, 1.0 eq) in (COCl)2(725g, 5.71 mol, 500 mL, 9.28 eq) was heated to 70°C for 24 hours. The reaction mixture was concentrated under vacuum. 1,2, 4-trichlorobenzene (500 mL) and (COCl)2 (116g, 914 mmol, 80 mL, 1.48 eq) were added to the mixture. Stir the reaction mixture at 100°C for 5 hours. Heat to 125°C for 15 hours. Then heat the mixture to 140°C 5 hours. The reaction mixture was distilled under a water pump (72 ° C- 76 ° C fraction) to obtain trichloroacetyl isocyanate (60g,319mmol,52% yield), which is a colorless oil for the next step without further purification. |
