Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is an etherification reaction of an aminophenol using a phase transfer system. It relates more particularly to a technique for the etherification of an aminophenol in which the aniline function is in the form of an anilide.
- the etherification reactions of aminophenols are generally carried out in basic medium and using expensive solvents such as so-called polar aprotic solvents.
- this basic medium weakens the molecule and leads to colored or toxic impurities.
- the nucleus is rich in electrons, this leads to taking restrictive precautions to avoid contact with oxygen (air).
- it is poor in electrons, and when it carries good leaving groups such as fluorine, parasitic reactions lead to the elimination of the leaving group from the molecule.
- phase transfer techniques is little known for this type of molecule and most of the time requires iodides whose cost is often prohibitive on an industrial scale, the use of sulfonates (such as mesylate [methanesulfonate] or tosylate [toluènesulfonate]) does not necessarily save iodide while being more expensive. It also requires the use of a very high amount of sodium hydroxide very largely on stoichiometric to obtain a good anionization of the aminophenol. When the phenol function is protected, the usual techniques involve a release of the phenol before the etherification.
- sulfonates such as mesylate [methanesulfonate] or tosylate [toluènesulfonate]
- one of the aims of the present invention is to provide a method which makes it possible to avoid all or part of the above drawbacks.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a process of the above type which makes it possible to avoid consumption of sodium hydroxide which is largely overstoichiometric.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a process of the above type which makes it possible to directly treat the protected phenols without going through an independent step of releasing the phenol from its protection.
- this form of aniline on the one hand facilitates the reaction when it takes place in phase transfer, but still the use of a strong base does not react the amide function: it neither cuts nor alkylates.
- the reaction can be carried out without excess, or with a small excess stroechiometric.

- the alkoxycarbonyloxyls are also targeted, which have an acceptable lipophilicity and an electron-withdrawing effect, while being inexpensive.
