introduction | 2-fluorotolene (2-fluorotoluene), also known as o-methyl (based) fluorobenzene and 2-methyl (based) fluorobenzene, is a flammable chemical with a flash point of 8 ℃ and is decomposed by heat to produce toxic fluoride gas. it is an intermediate for synthetic medicine, pesticide and other fine chemical products. |
Synthesis method | Halogen exchange method uses alkali metal fluorides (such as CsF and KF, etc.) and substituents The aromatic compound reacts, allowing fluorine atoms to replace other halogen groups (such as chlorine). The reaction method of halogen exchange between inorganic halides and organic halides is called Finkelstein method. It is a method of synthesizing fluorinated aromatic compounds in industrial production, and it is also a more active field in the synthesis of fluorinated aromatic compounds in recent years. Halogen exchange method is the main method with industrial application value. It is characterized by low price of raw materials, easy availability and good selectivity, and can not use fluoroboric acid, hydrogen fluoride and other highly toxic reagents in the reaction process. Generally speaking, it is relatively environmentally friendly and safe, in line with the current trend of pharmaceutical pesticide development. The disadvantage is that its reaction conditions are more stringent, which requires the reaction at a higher temperature and excessive potassium fluoride. At the same time, it requires an aprotic inert reagent as a solvent, and it needs to be carried out under anhydrous conditions. |
