14 1 11 2 19 9 0 34 PROCESS OF PREPARING 4-TRIFLUOROMETHYL-3-NITROBENZOIC
ACID VIA NOVEL NITROBENZENE DERIVATIVE This invention relates to a process of preparing 4-trifluoromethyl-3- nitrobenzoic acid (abbreviated to 4TFM-3-NBA) and to 5-trichloromethyl-2- trifluoromethylnitrobenzene (abbreviated to 5-TCM-2-TFMNB) which is a novel compound formed in said process as an-intermediate.
4-TFM-3-NBA, a novel compound discovered in our laboratory, is expected to be useful as an intermediate material of some medicines, agricultural chemicals and liquid crystals.
It is known that 4-trifluoromethyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid (4-TFM-2-NBA) is formed by nitrating 4-trifluoro- methylbenzoic acid (Chem. Abstr., 64, 3487f (1966) According toa method devised in our laboratory, a mixture of 4-TFM-2-NBA and 4-TFM-3-NBA is obtained by nitrating either 4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl halide or 4trifluoromethylbenzotrihalide and simultaneously hydrolyzing the halogenated radical of the starting compound. However, for the preparation of 4-TFM-3-NBA this method-is not very favorable because a larger part of the obtained mixture is 4-TFM-2-NBA and also because some treatments have to be made for isolation of 4-TFM- 3-NBA and/or 4-TFM-2-NBA.
It is an object of the present invention to provide a process of preparing 4-TFM-3-NBA without forming unwanted isomers.
It is another object of the invention to provide a novel nitrobenzene derivative which can easily be converted into 4-TFM-3-NBA.
According to the invention there is provided a process of preparing 4-TFM-3-NBA, comprising the steps of (a) reacting 2,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)nitrobenzene (abbreviated to 2,5-TFMNB) with a metal chloride to form 5-trichloromethyl-2-trifluoromethylnitrobenzene (abbreviated to 5-TCM-2-TFMNB), and (b) hydrolyzing the trichloromethyl group of 5-TCM-2-TFMNB in the presence of a Lewis acid.
5-TCM-2-TFMNB formed by the reaction of the step (a) of this process is a novel compound.
CF3 CC1 3 5-TCM-2-TFMNB NO 2 The process according to the invention is represented by the following formulas.
NO 3 NO 3 NO 3 2 0 A1C13 2 H + 2 0 0 W 3 cl OOH 4 1 nv 1 As is known, 2,5-TEMNB as the starting material of this process can easily be formed by nitrating 1,4-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene. The first step of this process is reacting 2,5-TFMNB with a metal chloride which is employed as a halogen exchange reagent. It is the point of the invention that by this reaction only the trifluoromethyl group at the 5- position of the starting compound selectively undergoes halogen exchange with the metal chloride and turns into trichloromethyl group. That is-, the reaction product is always 5-TCM-2TFMNB free from other isomers. The second step of the process is hydrolyzing 5-TCM-2- TFMNB by using a Lewis acid such as, for example, ferric chloride as a hydrolysis catalyst. By this reaction the trichloromethyl group of.5-TCM-2-TFMNB undergoes hydrolysis to turn into carboxylic group, so that the reaction product is always 4-TFM-3-NBA not containing any other isomer.
Thus, the process according to the invention provides 4-TFM-3-NBA at good yield and does not need complicated operations for isolation of 4-TFM-3NBA from the final reaction product.
For the halogen exchange reaction of 2,5-TFMNB in this invention a metal chloride is employed as the halogen exchange reagent. Good examples of useful metal 1 chlorides are AlCl 3' SbCl 5 and TiCl 4' and AlCl 3 is preferred. The quantity of the metal chloride must be at least 1 mol per mol of 2,5-TFMNB and does not need to be more than 2 mols, though there arises no problem by using a larger quantity. It is convenient to carry out the halogen exchange reaction by dissolving 2,5-TFMNB in an inactive solvent such as dichloromethane, dichloro ethane or carbon tetrachloride. The reaction is carried out at a temperature not higher than 70 0 C, and preferably around 0 0 C.
To hydrolyze the trichloromethyl group of 5-TCM-2TFMNB, a Lewis acid is used as a hydrolysis catalyst. Good examples of useful Lewis acids are FeCl 3' FeCl 2' Fe 2 (SO 4) 3 and SbCl 3' and FeCl 3 is preferred. A suitable quantity of the Lewis acid is from 0.001 to 50 wt% of 5-TCM-2TFMNB to be hydrolyzed. This reaction is carried out at a temperature in the range from about 80 0 C to about 250 0 C, and preferably in the range from 100 to 150 0 C.
The invention is further illustrated by the following nonlimitative examples. EXAMPLE 1 A solution of 7.8 g of 2,5-TFMNB in 36 ml of dichloroethane was cooled to 0 0 C, and 8.0 g of AlCl 3 was added to the solution for reaction with 2, 5-TFMNB.
1 111 1 1 k After the lapse of 2 hr the reaction liquid was poured into 20 g of crushed ice, and the resultant liquid mixture was separated into organic and aqueous layers. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, conc, - entrated and then distilled to thereby obtain 3.0 g of 5-TCM-2-TFMNB.
Analysis of the obtained 5-TCM-2-TFMNB gave the following data. Boiling point: 1030C at 1 mmHg.
1 H-NMR (standard substance was TMS, in CDC1 3 J 7.5-8.5 (3H, m).
19 F-NMR (standard substance was CFC1 2' in CDC1 3 60.67 ppm (3F, s).
IR (KBr pellet): 1565 cm- 1, 1375 cm- 1 W NO 2 EXAMPLE 2
A solution of 9.1 g of 2,5-TFMNB in 42 ml of f 0 dichloromethane was cooled to 0 C, and 9.3 g of AlCl 3 was added to the solution for reaction with 2,5-TFMNB for 2 hr. After that the reaction liquid was poured into 25 g of crushed ice, and the resultant liquid mixture was separated into organic and aqueous layers. The organic layer was dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate, concentrated and then distilled to thereby obtain 2.8 g of 5-TCM-2-TFMNB.
-6 EXAMPLE 3
A mixture of 1 g of 5-TCM-2-TFMNB and 100 mg of FeCl 3 was heated to 150 0 C, and 0.1 ml of water was added to the heated mixture for hydrolyzing 5-TCM-2-TFMNB at its trichloromethyl radical. After the hydrolyzing reaction ether was added to the reaction system to dissolve organic matter, and the ether solution was washed with water, dried with anhydrous magnesium sulfate and concentrated. As the result 0.6 g of 4- TFM- 3-NBA was obtained. Analysis of this 4-TFM-3-NBA gave the following data. Melting point: 169 0 C. 1 H-NMR (standard substance was TMS, in CDC1 3): 8.1-8.5 M, m); S 9.9 (1H, s).
19 F-NMR (standard substance was CF 3 CO 2 H, in CDC1 3 -15.5 ppm (3F, s).
