1. ** Electrophilic Substitution Reaction **:
- ** Halogenation Reaction **: Under the catalysis of iron or iron trihalide, the hydrogen atom on the benzene ring can be replaced by a halogen atom. Because the tert-butyl group is an ortho-and para-site group, and the chlorine atom is also an ortho-and para-site group, the positioning effect of the two is the same, so the halogenation reaction mainly occurs in the ortho-position of the tert-bu For example, under the catalysis of iron bromide, it reacts with bromine to generate 2-bromo-1-chloro-4- (1,1-dimethylethyl) benzene-based products. During the reaction, the bromine molecule is polarized under the action of the catalyst, and the positively charged bromine atom attacks the benzene ring to form a carbon-positive ion intermediate, and then the intermediate loses protons to form the product.
- ** Nitrification Reaction **: Co-heating with the mixed acid of concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid can occur. Also due to the localization effect, the nitro group mainly enters the ortho position of the tert-butyl group and the chlorine atom. In the mixed acid, concentrated sulfuric acid acts as a catalyst and dehydration, promoting the protonation of nitric acid and generating nitroyl positive ions (NO 2 ^), which attack the benzene ring as an electrophilic reagent, and obtain nitrification products through an intermediate process similar to halogenation reaction.
- ** Sulfonation Reaction **: Under the action of concentrated sulfuric acid, the benzene ring can undergo a sulfonation reaction, and the sulfonic acid group (-SO ^ H) is mainly introduced into the ortho-position of the tert-butyl group and the chlorine atom. Concentrated sulfuric acid provides the electrophilic reagent sulfur trioxide (SO ^), which reacts with the benzene ring to form an intermediate and is then transferred by protons to obtain a sulfonated product.
2. ** Substituent Reaction **:
- ** Reaction of Chlorine Atoms **: Although the chlorine atom on the benzene ring is less active than the halogen atom in aliphatic halogenated hydrocarbons due to conjugation with the benzene ring, nucleophilic substitution reaction can occur under high temperature, high pressure and the presence of strong bases or some nucleophilic reagents. If co-heated with an alcohol solution of sodium hydroxide, the chlorine atom can be replaced by a hydroxyl group to form p-tert-butyl phenol. In this process, the hydroxide ion attacks the carbon atom connected to the chlorine atom as a nucleophilic reagent, and the chlorine atom leaves with a pair of electrons.
- ** Reaction of tert-butyl **: Tert- Under light or high temperature conditions, free radical substitution reactions can occur with halogen elements, and α-hydrogen atoms are replaced by halogen atoms. For example, when reacting with chlorine under light, the α-hydrogen atom of tert-butyl can be gradually replaced by chlorine atoms. The reaction begins when chlorine is homogenized into chlorine radicals under light, and the chlorine radicals capture the α-hydrogen atom of tert-butyl to form carbon radicals. The carbon radicals then react with chlorine to form halogenated products and new chlorine radicals, and so on.
3. ** Oxidation Reaction **:
- If treated with a strong oxidizing agent such as acidic potassium permanganate solution, the tert-butyl group of the side chain of tert-butyl phenyl ring is usually difficult to oxidize. Due to the absence of α-hydrogen atoms in tert-butyl, the oxidation of the side chain of the benzene ring generally requires α-hydrogen atoms to occur. However, under special conditions or stronger oxidation systems, the benzene ring may be oxidized and destroyed, resulting in complex oxidation products.
4. ** Reduction Reaction **:
- The benzene ring of p-chloro-tert-butylbenzene can be reduced under specific conditions. For example, under the action of metal sodium and liquid ammonia, a Birch reduction reaction occurs, and the benzene ring is reduced to a 1,4-cyclohexadiene structure. During the reaction, sodium provides electrons and liquid ammonia provides protons. A series of electron transfer and proton transfer steps are performed to achieve partial reduction of the benzene ring.

First, tert-butylbenzene is used as raw material and prepared by chlorination reaction. Tert-butylbenzene is placed in a reaction vessel, an appropriate amount of catalyst is added, such as anhydrous aluminum trichloride, etc., and chlorine gas is introduced at a certain temperature. At this time, chlorine gas undergoes an electrophilic substitution reaction with tert-butylbenzene, and chlorine atoms replace hydrogen atoms on the benzene ring that are in the para-position with tert-butylbenzene, thereby generating p-chloro tert-butylbenzene. This reaction condition is relatively mild, so it is necessary to
Second, using p-chloroacetophenone as raw material, it is prepared by Huangminglong reduction reaction and halogenation reaction. First, p-chloroacetophenone, hydrazine hydrate, potassium hydroxide, etc. are co-placed in a high boiling point solvent, heated and refluxed, so that the carbonyl group is reduced to methylene to form p-chloroethylbenzene. Next, under the condition of light or the presence of an initiator, p-chloroethylbenzene reacts with chlorine gas, and the hydrogen atom on the side chain is replaced by the chlorine atom, and then the p-chlorotert-butylbenzene can be obtained through the elimination reaction. This method is a little more complicated, but the raw material is relatively easy to obtain.
Third, take p-chlorobenzoic acid as the starting material, first reduce it to p-chlorobenzyl alcohol, and then form p-chlorobenzyl chloride through halogenation reaction, and then react with tert-butyl Grignard reagent to obtain the target product p-chloro tert-butyl benzene. This method requires the use of Grignard reagent, which requires harsh reaction conditions and an anhydrous and anaerobic environment, but can effectively construct the target molecular structure.
Synthesis of p-chloro tert-butyl benzene has its own advantages and disadvantages. In practical applications, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the availability of raw materials, reaction conditions, cost and many other factors to choose an appropriate method.
