2201313 -l NOVEL BISBENZOTRIFLUORIDE DERIVATIVES AND METHOD OF PREPARING
SAME This invention relates to a group of novel bis benzotrifluoride derivatives which will be useful as materials of medicines, agricultural chemicals and novel polymers and methods of preparing same.
So far as we know, no literature shows preparation of bisbenzotrifluoride derivatives.
We gave consideration to a possibility of synthe sizing bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)acetylene by the steps of making condensation of trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde into a benzoin form, converting it into a stilbene derivative, adding bromine thereto and then making an elimination reaction. However, this process includes many reactions each of which is not very simple in industrial practice, and trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde is a costly material.
The present invention provides novel bisbenzo trifluoride derivatives represented by the general formula (l):
CF A: R Ct3 wherein R represents -CC1 2 CC1 2_ ' -Ccl=ccl- or -C=-C-.
That is, the novel compounds of the invention are bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)tetrachloroethane, bis(tri fluoromethylphenyl)dichloroethylene and bis(trifluoro methylphenyl)acetylene. These compounds will be useful as intermediate materials for synthesizing medicines and agricultural chemicals and also for producing novel polymers.
We have made the present invention by finding firstly that either bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)tetra- chloroethane or bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)dichloro- ethylene, i.e. a bisbenzotrifluoride derivative repre sented by the general formula (1A), can be prepared by subjecting a trihalomethylbenzotrifluoride represented by the general formula (2) to a dehalogenating coupling reaction in a hydrogen gas atmosphere, CF 3--[: R'-& CF3 (1A) wherein R' represents -CC1 2 CC1 2_ or -CC1=CC1-, CF 3 (2) 1 0 -cci 2X wherein X is Cl or F, and further that bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)acetylene, i.e. a bisbenzotrifluoride derivative represented by the general formula (1B) can be prepared by heating a compound represented by the general formula (1A) at a temperature not lower than 50 0 C in the presence of a metal which acts as a dehalogenating agent:
W 3 ---Q C = C-C CF3 (1B) The dehalogenating coupling reaction to form a compound of the formula (1A) is carried out, by using palladium as a catalyst, at an elevated temperature preferably under some pressure and, also preferably, in the presence of a base. The type of the coupling radical R' of the reaction product depends on the temperature and pressure conditions.
The reaction to convert a compound of the formula (1A) into an acetylenic compound of the formula (1B) is carried out in an organic solvent preferably by using zinc as the dehalogenating metal.
As the starting trihalomethylbenzotrifluoride in preparing a compound of the formula (1A) either tri chloromethylbenzotrifluoride or dichlorofluoromethyl benzotrifluoride is useful, though the former is preferable. The position of the -CC1 3 or -CC1 2 F group with respect to the -W 3 group may be any of o-, m- and p-positions.
For the coupling reaction of the selected trihalc- methylbenzotrifluoride it is suitable to use a palladium catalyst such as a palladium-on-carbon catalyst. The quantity of the palladium catalyst is variable over a wide range such as from 0.01 to 50 wt% (as palladium) of the trihalomethylbenzotrifluoride. Usually a suitable quantity of palladium is from 1 to 10 wt% of the starting compound. The reaction is carried out in an autoclave filled with hydrogen gas by maintaining a temperature not lower than 50 0 C for several hours. The hydrogen gas pressure should not be subatmospheric, and it is preferable to carry out the reaction under moderately elevated pressure. The hydrogen gas pressure and the reaction temperature are selectively varied depending on whether the aimed compound of the formula (1A) is bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)ethane or bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)ethylene. Besides, the position of the -CC1 3 or -CC1 2 F group with respect to the -CF 3 group has to be taken into consideration. That is, in the case of m-position it is necessary to employ severer conditions of reaction than in the case of p-position, and still severer conditions are needed in the case of o-position. It is favorable for the intended coupling reaction to add a base such as potassium hydroxide or sodium hy droxide to the reaction system. In general it is preferable to use potassium hydroxide in a quantity 2 to 4 times the equivalent to the trihalomethylbenzo trifluoride.
In the case of synthesizing 1,2-bis(4'-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, it is suitable to carry out the coupling reaction under hydrogen gas pressure of 2-4 kg/cm 2 at 50-100 0 C. In the case of synthesizing 1,2-bis(41-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2dichloroethylene, it is suitable to carry out the reaction under pressure of 3-4 kg/cm 2 at 100-120 0 C.
When preparing 1,2-bis(31-trifluoromethylphenyl)1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane, bis(31-trifluoromethyl phenyl)dichloroethylene, bis(2'-trifluoromethylphenyl) tetrachloroethane or bis(21-trifluoromethylphenyl) dichloroethylene, it is favorable for promotion of the coupling reaction to further raise the hydrogen gas pressure by about 1-2 kg/cm 2 and the reaction temperature by about 10-30 0 C.
An acetylenic compound of the formula (1B), viz.
bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)acetylene, can easily be obtained by dechlorinating a compound of the formula (1A), either bis(trifluoromethylphenyl)ethane or bis (trifluoromethylphenyl)ethylene, by using a metal such as zinc or magnesium which acts as a dehalogenating agent. It is preferred to use zinc. The quantity of.
the metal must be at least stoichiometrical, and the presence of an excess of the metal raises little problem. The dechlorinating reaction is carried out in a suitable organic solvent, preferably in acetic anhydride, by continuing heating at a temperature not lower than 50 0 C.
The invention is further illustrated by the following nonlimitative examples. Examples 1 to 5 relate to synthesis of compounds of the general formula (1A) and Examples 6 to 8 acetylenic compounds of the formula (1B).
EXAMPLE 1
A 100-ml stainless steel autoclave was charged with g of p-trichloromethylbenzotrifluoride, 300 mg of palladium-on-carbon catalyst (Pd 5 wt%), 8 g of potassium hydroxide and 10 ml of water. The atmosphere in the autoclave was replaced by hydrogen gas, and the 2 gas pressure was regulated to 3 kg/cm Then the mixture in the autoclave was kept heated at 110 0 C for 4 hr. The reaction product was dissolved in dichloro methane and washed with water. After recovering the palladium catalyst, the solution was concentrated to thereby obtain 17.3 g of 1,2-bis(41-trifluoromethyl phenyl)-1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane.
EXAMPLE 2
The reaction in Example 1 was modified only in that g of m-trichloromethylbenzotrifluoride was used as the starting compound. The reaction product was treated in the same manner as in Example 1. As the result, 12.1 g of 1,2-bis(3'-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,1,2,2tetrachloroethane was obtained.
EXAMPLE 3
Among the materials used in Example 1, the benzo- trifluoride was replaced by 20 g of o-trichloromethyl benzotrifluoride. In this case the hydrogen gas 2 pressure in the autoclave was regulated to 4 kg/cm ' and the reaction was carried out at 1200C for 6 hr. The reaction product was treated in the same manner as in Example 1. As the result, 8.8 g of 1,2-bis(21 trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2-dichloroethylene (mixture of cis-form and trans-form) was obtained.
EXAMPLE 4
A 30-m1 stainless autoclave was charged with 4 g of m-trichloromethylbenzotrifluoride, 100 mg of palladium on-carbon catalyst (Pd 5 wt%), 1 g of potassium hydroxide and 2 ml of water. The atmosphere in the autoclave was replaced by hydrogen gas, and the gas 2 pressure in the autoclave was regulated to 5 kg/cm.
Then the mixture in the autoclave was kept heated at 0 C for 4 hr. The reaction product was dissolved in dichloromethane and washed with water. After recovering the catalyst the solution was concentrated to thereby obtain 2.24 g of 1,2-bis(31-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2- dichloroethylene. Stereoisomerism of this compound was examined by gas chromatography. The ratio of cis-form to trans-form was 7:3.
EXAMPLE 5
Among the materials used in Example 4, the benzo- trifluoride was replaced by 4 g of p-trichloromethyl benzotrifluoride. In this case the hydrogen gas pressure was regulated to 3 kg/cm 2, and the reaction was carried out at 120 0 C for 4 hr. The reaction product was treated in the same manner as in Example 4. As the result, 2.8 g of 1,2-bis(4'-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2- dichloroethylene was obtained. In this compound, the ratio of cis-form to trans-form was found to be 2:1 by gas chromatography.
EXAMPLE 6
In a glass reactor 41.2 g of 1,2-bis(41-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,1,2,2-tetrachloroethane was dissolved in 316 ml of acetic anhydride, and the solution was kept heated at reflux temperature for 24 hr while inter mittently (ten times) adding zinc dust to the solution.
In total, 60 g of zinc dust was introduced into the reaction system. After that ether was added to the reaction liquid, and insoluble matter was filtered out.
The filtrate was concentrated to recover organic matter, a 1 -g- which was refined by silica gel column chromatography using hexane as developing solvent. As the result, 23.0 g of 1,2-bis(41-trifluoromethylphenyl)acetylene was obtained.
EXAMPLE 7

The reaction product was dissolved in ether and refined by silica gel column chromatography in the same manner as in Example 6. As the result, 1.9 g of 1,2-bis(31-trifluoromethylphenyl)- acetylene was obtained.
EXAMPLE 8
A solution of 1.2 g of 1,2-bis(21-trifluoromethylphenyl)-1,2-dichloroethylene in 20 ml of acetic anhydride was kept heated at reflux temperature for hr while intermittently (ten times) adding zinc dust (3.5 g in total) to the solution. The reaction product was dissolved in hexane and refined by silica gel column chromatography in the same manner as in Example 6.
