Description

Verfahren zur Herstellung von 2, 4-Dimethyl-3 (bzw. 5)-nitrobenzylchlorid Die aus der Literatur bekannte Methode zur Einführung von .Chlormethylgruppen in aromatische Kohlenwasserstoffe mittels Formaldehyd und Salzsäure versagt, wie festgestellt wurde, bei Nitrokohlenwasserstoffen gänzlich oder führt höchstens zu technisch ungenügenden Ausbeuten. So ist es beispielsweise nicht möglich, in Nitrobenzol die Chlormethylgruppe reinzuführen, während bei den Nitrotoluolen die entsprechenden Benzylchloride nur in ganz untergeordneten Mengen entstehen.Process for the preparation of 2,4-dimethyl-3 (or 5) -nitrobenzyl chloride The method known from the literature for the introduction of chloromethyl groups in aromatic hydrocarbons using formaldehyde and hydrochloric acid fail, as stated was, in the case of nitro hydrocarbons, entirely or at most leads to technically unsatisfactory Exploit. For example, it is not possible to use the chloromethyl group in nitrobenzene purely, while with the nitrotoluenes the corresponding benzyl chlorides only arise in very subordinate quantities.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß sich in das 1, 3-Dimethyl-z-nitrobenzol und das 1, 3-Dimethyl-4-nitrobenzol die Chlormethylgruppe mittels Formaldehyd und Salzsäure überaus leicht und in technisch vorzüglichen Ausbeuten von über 8o °/o der Theorie einführen läßt. Diese Reaktionsfähigkeit war nicht vorauszusehen, und zwar um so überraschender, als bei allen übrigen vier isomeren Nitroxylolen die Reaktion entweder ganz ausbleibt oder höchstens mit technisch unzulänglichen Ausbeuten verläuft.It has now been found that the 1,3-dimethyl-z-nitrobenzene and the 1, 3-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene, the chloromethyl group by means of formaldehyde and Hydrochloric acid extremely easily and in technically excellent yields of over 80% the theory can be introduced. This responsiveness was unforeseeable, and Although all the more surprising than all the other four isomeric nitroxylenes The reaction either does not occur at all or at most with technically inadequate yields runs.

Die neuen, bisher unbekannten Nitrodimehtylbenzylchloride können in bekannter Weise durch Reduktion in die entsprechenden Aminotrimethylbenzole übergeführt werden, Körper, die auf anderem Wege nur sehr schwer zugänglich sind und die wertvolle Zwischenprodukte für Farbstoffe darstellen. Beispiel 1 151 Teile 1, 3-Dimethyl-z-nitrobenzol, 75 Teile PaTaformaldehyd, 75 Teile Chlorzink und 14 Teile konzentrierte Salzsäure werden auf 65 bis 70' erwärmt, wobei unter Rühren während 2o Stunden Chlorwasserstoff eingeleitet wird. Das Reaktionsgemisch wird in Wasser gegeben, das Öl in Benzol aufgenommen und die benzolische Lösung neutral gewaschen. Durch fraktionierte Destillation des Öles im Vakuum erhält man 168 Teile (= 84°/o der Theorie) a, 4-Dimethy l-3-nitrobenzylchlorid vom Kp" 148 bis 1q.9°. Das Produkt hat, aus Benzin umkristallisiert, den F. 61 bis 6z°. Beispiel z 151 Teile 1, 3-Dimethyl-4-nitrobenzol, 75 Teile Polyoxymethylen, 75 Teile Chlorzink und 14 Teile konzentrierte Salzsäure werden auf 65 bis 70° erwärmt und, wie in Beispiel 1 angegeben, weiterverarbeitet. Man erhält 161 Teile (= 810/, der Theorie) a, 4-Dimethhyl-5-nitrobenzylchlarid vom Kpii 162 bis 16q.°. Aus Benzin umkristallisiert, bildet das Produkt fast farblose Prismen vom F. 5o bis 51'.The new, hitherto unknown nitrodimethylbenzyl chlorides can be converted in a known manner by reduction into the corresponding aminotrimethylbenzenes, bodies which are very difficult to access by other means and which are valuable intermediates for dyes. Example 1 151 parts of 1,3-dimethyl-z-nitrobenzene, 75 parts of pa-taformaldehyde, 75 parts of zinc chloride and 14 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid are heated to 65 to 70 °, hydrogen chloride being passed in with stirring for 20 hours. The reaction mixture is poured into water, the oil is taken up in benzene and the benzene solution is washed neutral. Fractional distillation of the oil in vacuo gives 168 parts (= 84% of theory) of a, 4-dimethyl-3-nitrobenzyl chloride with a boiling point of 148 to 9 °. The product, recrystallized from gasoline, has the F. 61 to 60 ° Example z 151 parts of 1,3-dimethyl-4-nitrobenzene, 75 parts of polyoxymethylene, 75 parts of zinc chloride and 14 parts of concentrated hydrochloric acid are heated to 65 to 70 ° and processed further as indicated in Example 1. Man receives 161 parts (= 810 /, of theory) a, 4-dimethhyl-5-nitrobenzyl chloride with a boiling point of 162 to 16 ° C. Recrystallized from gasoline, the product forms almost colorless prisms with a temperature of 50 to 51 '.
