In this compound, the chlorine atom, trifluoromethyl group and nitro group are all key functional groups. Nitro has strong electron absorption, which can greatly reduce the electron cloud density of the benzene ring, making the benzene ring more susceptible to attack by nucleophiles. At the same time, the presence of nitro groups also decreases the chemical stability of the compound. Under certain conditions, it is prone to reduction and other reactions. For example, under suitable reducing agents and reaction conditions, nitro groups can be reduced to amino groups, which is an important path for the preparation of amino-containing compounds in organic synthesis.
Although the chlorine atom is an ortho-para-localized group, its reactivity also changes due to the influence of nitro and trifluoromethyl groups. In nucleophilic substitution reactions, chlorine atoms can be replaced by other nucleophilic reagents, such as hydroxyl groups, alkoxy groups, etc., to form various derivatives.
Trifluoromethyl also has a strong electron-absorbing effect, which can not only affect the electron cloud distribution of the benzene ring, but also significantly change the physical and chemical properties of compounds.

First, 4-chloro-3-trifluoromethylaniline is used as the starting material and can be obtained by diazotization and nitrification. First, 4-chloro-3-trifluoromethylaniline interacts with sodium nitrite and inorganic acid at low temperature to undergo diazotization reaction to obtain diazosalt. Then, the diazosalt reacts with nitrifying agents such as sodium nitrite to introduce nitro groups, and then generates 4-chloro-3 - (trifluoromethyl) nitrobenzene. However, this process requires precise control of the reaction temperature and reagent dosage to prevent side reactions from breeding.
Second, 3-trifluoromethyl-4-chlorobenzoic acid is used as the raw material. First, it is converted into an acid chloride, which can be achieved by interacting with reagents such as thionyl chloride. The obtained acid chloride is then ammonolyzed to obtain the corresponding amide. Under specific conditions, the amide reacts with reagents such as sodium hypochlorite and occurs Hoffman rearrangement, and 4-chloro-3- (trifluoromethyl) aniline can be prepared. Subsequent steps of diazotization and nitrification can also obtain the target product. Although this path is slightly complicated, the reaction conditions of each step are relatively mild and easy to control.
Third, the halogenated aromatics are used as raw materials and the cross-coupling reaction is catalyzed by palladium. For example, 4-chloro-3-halogenated benzene (halogen atoms can be bromine, iodine, etc.) and trifluoromethylation reagents are cross-coupled in the presence of palladium catalysts and ligands, and trifluoromethyl is introduced. Subsequently, the resulting product is nitrified to obtain 4-chloro-3- (trifluoromethyl) nitrobenzene. This method relies on high-efficiency palladium catalysts, and the cost of catalysts is high. However, its atomic economy is good, it is environmentally friendly, and has great application potential.
The above synthesis methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.
