Description

  

      Verfahren    zur Herstellung von     3-Fluor-4-methoxy-benzylehlorid.       Es wurde gefunden, dass man     3-Fluor-4-          ritethoxy-benzylehlorid    sehr leicht dadurch       herstellen    kann, dass man     2-Fluor-methoxy-          benzol    mit Formaldehyd und Salzsäure     unter     Zusatz von Chlorzink     kondensiert.    Dabei     ent-          ,#teht,    wie sich zeigte, in überraschend guter       Ausbeute    die     Chlormethylverbindung,

      die ein        -ertvolleZwischenprodukt    . beim Aufbau  kernfluorierter     a.romatiseher    Verbindungen       darstellt.    So erhält man aus     3-F1uor-4-me-          thoxy-benzylehlorid,    z. B. durch     Umsetzung     mit     Natriumcyanid,    das entsprechende     Cya-          riid,    das durch Hydrierung der     CN-Gruppe     und     Verseifung    der     Methoxylgruppe    in aus  hezeichneter Ausbeute in     Fluortyramin    über  geht.

   Die     Ausbeute    an     Fluortyramin,    be  zogen auf     2-Fluoranisol    als Ausgangsstoff,       beträgt    über     407o,    während nach den bis  lierigen Methoden eine Ausbeute von höch  stens<B>10%</B> erhalten wird.  



       Da.ss    die     Halogenmethylierung    der ver  wendeten     kernfluorierten    Verbindung in der       bewünschten        m-Stellung    zum Fluor eintritt,  war nicht zu erwarten, da Fluor ein     Substi-          tuent    erster Ordnung ist, also nach     para    und       ortho    dirigiert, und da weiterhin bekannt ist.

         da,ss    die     dirigierende    Kraft des Fluors stärker       it    als zum Beispiel die der     Methylgruppe     (vgl. hierzu     Chem.        Ztg.    1930, S. 270).  



       Dae    neue     3-Fluor-4-methoxy-benzylchlo-          rid    soll als Zwischenprodukt bei der Herstel-         lung    von Farbstoffen, Arzneimitteln und  Schädlingsbekämpfungsmitteln Verwendung  finden.  



       Beispiel:     In ein Gemisch von 100g     2-Fluor-anisol,     100     cm3    Äther, 100     cm3    40     %        iges    Formalin  und 17 g Chlorzink wird bei     einer    Tempera  tur von höchstens 15  unter     kräftigem    Rüh  ren während 8 Stunden ein starker     Salzsäure-          Gas-,Strom    eingeleitet. Man giesst dann das  Reaktionsgemisch auf     Eis    und     äthert    erschöp  fend aus.

   Die Ätherlösung wird nach dem  Waschen mit Wasser und Trocknen über     Cal-          ciumchlorzd    eingedampft     und    der Rückstand  im Vakuum     fraktioniert    destilliert. Nach  einem kleinen Vorlauf, der aus nicht umge  setztem     Fluoranisol    besteht, geht bei     gp.,!1     118 bis     192     das     4-Methoxy-3--fluor-benzyl-          chlorid    über, das in der Kälte erstarrt (F. 34 ).  Ausbeute etwa 75<B>% .</B>



      Process for the preparation of 3-fluoro-4-methoxy-benzyl chloride. It has been found that 3-fluoro-4-ritethoxy-benzyl chloride can be produced very easily by condensing 2-fluoro-methoxy-benzene with formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid with the addition of zinc chloride. As has been shown, the chloromethyl compound is formed in a surprisingly good yield,

      a valuable intermediate product. represents in the construction of nuclear fluorinated a.romatic compounds. Thus, from 3-fluorine-4-methoxy-benzyl chloride, z. B. by reaction with sodium cyanide, the corresponding cyanide, which is converted into fluorotyramine by hydrogenation of the CN group and saponification of the methoxyl group in high yield.

   The yield of fluorotyramine, based on 2-fluoroanisole as the starting material, is over 407o, while a maximum yield of <B> 10% </B> is obtained according to the up to fourteen methods.



       That the halomethylation of the fluorinated compound used occurs in the desired m-position to the fluorine was not to be expected, since fluorine is a first-order substituent, that is, directed to para and ortho, and is still known.

         because the directing power of fluorine is stronger than, for example, that of the methyl group (cf. Chem. Ztg. 1930, p. 270).



       The new 3-fluoro-4-methoxy-benzyl chloride is to be used as an intermediate product in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals and pesticides.



       Example: In a mixture of 100 g of 2-fluoro-anisole, 100 cm3 of ether, 100 cm3 of 40% formalin and 17 g of zinc chloride, a strong hydrochloric acid gas stream is poured into a stream of hydrochloric acid gas for 8 hours at a temperature of no more than 15 with vigorous stirring initiated. The reaction mixture is then poured onto ice and äthert exhaustively.

   After washing with water and drying over calcium chloride, the ether solution is evaporated and the residue is fractionally distilled in vacuo. After a small forerun, which consists of unreacted fluoroanisole, 4-methoxy-3-fluoro-benzyl chloride passes over at gp.,! 1118 to 192 and solidifies in the cold (F. 34). Yield about 75%
