Simple exploration of 1-Fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene

These compound has a wide range of applications. It is believed that with the continuous development of the source of the synthetic route 352-67-0, its application will become more common.

Some common heterocyclic compound, 352-67-0, name is 1-Fluoro-4-(trifluoromethoxy)benzene, molecular formula is C7H4F4O, traditional synthetic route has been very mature, but the traditional synthetic route has various shortcomings, such as complicated route, low yield, poor purity, etc, below Introduce a new synthetic route. SDS of cas: 352-67-0

Boron trifluoride etherate (0.453 ml, 3.89 mmol) and trimethyl borate (0.867 ml, 7.77 mmol) were stirred in anhydrous tetrahydrofuran (THF, 10 ml) for 10 minutes to form dimethoxyfluoroborane in situ.To a solution of the 4-fluoro(trifluoromethoxy)benzene (2.0 g, 11.1 mmol) in dry THF (30 ml) at -780C, was added ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA, 1.36 g, 11.7 mmol) followed by a 1.4 M solution of sec-butyllithium in cyclohexane (8.33 ml, 11.7 mmol) and the reaction stirred for 2 hours under nitrogen. To this reaction mixture at – 780C, was then added dropwise the preformed dimethoxyfluoroborane mixture. The reaction was stirred at -780C for 30 minutes, warmed to room temperature for 30 minutes, and then quenched with water (10 ml). The volume of the reaction mixture was reduced in vacuo, then the residue dissolved in diethyl ether (10 ml) and washed with an aqueous solution of 10% NaOH (50 ml). The aqueous layer was acidified and extracted with ethyl acetate (3 x 40 ml). The combined ethyl acetate extracts were dried over MgSO4 and concentrated in vacuo to afford the title compound as a single regioisomer (1.51 g).LCMS Rt = 1.38 minMS m/z 223 [M]-
