Introduction | tetrafluorobenzonitrile has a melting point of 197 degrees to 199 degrees and a density of 1.5, the appearance was a white solid at normal temperature and pressure. They are useful as intermediates in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical chemistry. Tetrafluorophthalonitrile is soluble in hot ethanol but is poorly soluble in water. |
Use | tetrafluorobenzonitrile as an intermediate in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry and material chemistry, as an intermediate in organic synthesis, the cyano group in the structure is a good and easy to convert functional groups, which can be converted into carboxylic acids and amine compounds. In addition, because of the strong electron-withdrawing ability of two cyano groups and the electron-withdrawing properties of multiple fluorine atoms themselves, the fluorine atoms on the benzene ring can easily undergo corresponding nucleophilic attack reactions, A product in which one of the fluorine atoms is substituted is obtained. In material chemistry, the compound also has a wide range of applications, such as the compound can be a good continuous nucleophilic substitution reaction, high molecular polymers and organic light-emitting materials with special properties can be obtained by selecting the reaction conditions. |
synthesis method | for the synthesis of tetrafluorobenzonitrile, the conventional synthesis method is tetrachlorobenzonitrile as the starting material, the chloro-fluorinated product tetrafluorobenzonitrile can be obtained by stirring with potassium fluoride at high temperature in N,N-dimethylformamide. It should be noted that this reaction requires a high temperature, generally above 160 ° C., so that the requirements for the reaction vessel are relatively high. The advantage of this route is that the reaction effect is relatively good and the yield is very high. |
