Background and overview[1][2]
2-Bromo-5-fluorotrifluorotoluene is a widely used pharmaceutical intermediate. At present, the market demand for 2-bromo-5-fluorotrifluorotoluene as an intermediate is gradually increasing. The synthesis of 2-bromo-5-fluorotrifluorotoluene in the currently published literature and patents mainly uses m-trifluoromethylfluorobenzene as the starting material, and is directly brominated in the presence of acid and brominating agent to obtain 2- Bromine-5-fluorotrifluorotoluene (herein referred to as m-trifluoromethylfluorobenzene direct bromination method, the bromination agent includes copper bromide, hydrogen bromide, N-bromosuccinimide (NBS), bromine dimethyl bromide (DMBS), dibromohydantoin, sodium bromide, potassium bromide, bromine chloride, 1,3-dibromo-2,4-imidazoledione, or combinations thereof; acids include concentrated Sulfuric acid, glacial acetic acid. The brominating agent used in the direct bromination of m-trifluoromethylfluorobenzene is expensive and the reaction cost is high. Dalian Jiuxin Biochemical has developed an indirect bromination method, which uses m-trifluoromethylfluorobenzene. Benzene is used as the starting material, and is first nitrated, then reduced, then diazotized, and finally brominated with hydrobromic acid to synthesize 2-bromo-5-fluorotrifluorotoluene. m-Trifluoromethylfluorobenzene indirect bromination method There are many reaction steps and the operation is complex. Compared with the direct bromination method, the reaction cost is still not reduced. Whether it is the direct bromination method or the indirect bromination method, m-trifluoromethylfluorobenzene is used as the raw material, and m-trifluoromethyl fluorobenzene is used as the raw material. Fluorobenzene is expensive and the cost is high. Literature reports that there are two main routes to synthesize m-trifluoromethylfluorobenzene: one is to use m-trifluoromethylaniline with HF-pyridine (HF mole fraction is 0.86) and sodium nitrite. Diazotization (the reaction temperature needs to be lowered to below -30°C) and then heating and cracking to obtain m-trifluoromethylfluorobenzene. The second method is to use m-nitrotrifluorotoluene under the catalysis of Ph4PBr – NO2 is fluorinated by KF to obtain m-trifluoromethyl fluorobenzene. Although the m-trifluoromethylaniline raw material used in method one is cheap, the reaction temperature needs to be lowered to below -30°C, which has the disadvantages of high equipment requirements and high energy consumption in industrial production. The catalyst used in method two is expensive , the yield is low, only 53%, and the reaction cost is high. Therefore, it is necessary to find a 2-bromo-5-fluorine with cheap and easily available raw materials, mild reaction conditions, short steps, high yield, low cost, and suitable for industrial production. The preparation method of benzene trifluoride is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently.
