(2) On its physical properties. At room temperature, or in a liquid state, with a specific color and taste. Its melting and boiling point is different from that of common substances due to intermolecular forces. The conjugate system of the benzene ring makes it stable to a certain extent; and the introduction of the cyanyl group and the trifluoromethoxy group changes the polarity of its molecules and the distribution of the electron cloud, which in turn affects the melting point.
(3) As for the chemical properties. The benzene ring can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions, such as halogenation, nitrification, and sulfonation. The cyanyl group of cyanomethyl groups has nucleophilic properties and can participate in nucleophilic substitution and addition reactions. In the case of appropriate reagents, the cyanyl group can be hydrolyzed to carboxyl groups or reduced to amino groups. In the trifluoromethoxy group, the fluorine atom is extremely electronegative, which makes the group have a strong electron-absorbing effect, which affects the electron cloud density of the benzene ring and changes the activity and localization of the electrophilic substitution reaction on the benzene ring. And because of its strong electron-absorbing properties, it may affect the reactivity of the atoms connected to it. In addition, the trifluoromethoxy group itself may participate in some special reactions, such as the formation of hydrogen bonds. In a specific reaction environment, it has an impact on the process of the reaction In conclusion, the chemical properties of 1- (cyanomethyl) -3- (trifluoromethoxy) benzene are determined by its unique molecular structure. In the field of organic synthesis, it can be applied to various reactions according to different needs to produce the desired product.
First, the method of nucleophilic substitution is used as a suitable substrate containing cyanide group and trifluoromethoxy group. Halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons are selected, such as halogenated benzene with halogen atoms connected to benzene ring. The halogen atoms are preferably bromine and iodine, and the activity is higher. Then take the cyanomethyl reagent, such as sodium cyanide and haloalkane to react to obtain the cyanomethylation reagent. In a suitable solvent, such as N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), add a base such as potassium carbonate, heat and stir, so that the nucleophilic substitution reaction occurs. The cyanomethyl replaces the halogen atom, and then reacts with the trifluoromethoxylation reagent, such as potassium trifluoromethoxy, under the same conditions in a suitable solvent to obtain the target product.
Second, by the Grignard reagent method. First, the halogenated benzene is reacted with magnesium chips in anhydrous ether or tetrahydrofuran to prepare the Grignard reagent. Then the Grignard reagent is reacted with the compound containing the cyanide Subsequent to appropriate treatment, such as acidification, etc., and then react with trifluoromethoxylation reagents to introduce trifluoromethoxy into the benzene ring, achieving the purpose of preparation.
Third, the coupling reaction catalyzed by palladium. Using halogenated benzene as raw material, with cyanomethylborate or trifluoromethoxy borate, under the catalysis of palladium catalyst, such as tetra (triphenylphosphine) palladium, add a base and a suitable ligand, in a suitable solvent, heat for coupling reaction. This reaction condition is mild and highly selective, and can effectively construct carbon-carbon and carbon-hetero bonds to obtain 1- (cyanomethyl) -3- (trifluoromethoxy) benzene.
All preparation methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. In actual operation, it is necessary to weigh the availability of raw materials, the difficulty of reaction conditions, the purity and yield of the product, and choose the optimal path to achieve the purpose of efficient preparation.
First, it is related to its chemical properties. This compound has a specific chemical activity, and when operating it, you must be familiar with its reaction characteristics. Due to the presence of cyanomethyl and trifluoromethoxy groups, the compound may exhibit a unique tendency to react. For example, cyanomethyl may participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, etc., while the strong electron absorption of trifluoromethoxy may affect the density distribution of electron clouds in the benzene ring, and then affect various reactions related to it. Do not act rashly when operating, and be sure to study the possible chemical reactions in advance to avoid unexpected reactions.
Second, about safety protection. The compound may have certain toxicity and irritation. During the process of taking, transferring and reacting, it is necessary to strictly implement safety protection measures. Such as wearing appropriate protective equipment, including gas masks, protective gloves, protective glasses, etc., to prevent skin contact, inhalation or accidental ingestion. In case of inadvertent contact, it should be treated immediately according to the established emergency treatment process. If skin contact needs to be rinsed with plenty of water as soon as possible, and then further treatment according to the specific situation; if inhaled, it should be quickly transferred to a fresh air place and seek medical attention in time.
Third, storage conditions should not be ignored. 1-% (cyanomethyl) -3- (trifluoromethoxy) benzene should be stored in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place, away from fire, heat and oxidants. Due to its chemical properties, improper storage conditions may cause it to deteriorate or cause safety hazards. Storage containers also need to be well sealed to prevent leakage. Fourth, in the choice of reaction system, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the physical properties such as solubility of the compound. Select a suitable solvent to make the reaction proceed smoothly. At the same time, the temperature, pH and other conditions during the reaction process also need to be precisely controlled, because these factors will have a significant impact on the rate of reaction and the purity of the product.
