2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoyl chloride

Conditions: temp:0.00; pressure:0.00; stir:

Conditions: temp:60.01; pressure:0.00; stir:; See reaction.notes.procedure_details.

Procedure: 268 g of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzotrichloride were placed in a 0.5 1 four necked flask. After addition of 5.4 g of iron(III) chloride, the mixture was heated to 60° C. with stirring. 46 g of formic acid were metered in over 6 hours at 60°-65° C. Vigorous gas development (carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride) began immediately. The gas stream was fed to an absorption tower via a cooler. After addition was complete, the mixture was further stirred for two more hours at 60° C. The product was then distilled under reduced pressure. were metered in over 6 hours at 60°-65° C After addition the mixture was further stirred for two more hours at 60° C The product was then distilled under reduced pressure

Procedure: A mixture of 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoic acid (25 g) and thionyl chloride (40 cm3) was heated at the reflux temperature for 3 hours after which the excess thionyl chloride was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure to leave a residue of 1-chlorocarbonyl-2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzene. To this was added an excess of dry methanol and the mixture stirred for one hour at the ambient temperature. Removal of excess methanol by evaporation under reduced pressure gave methyl 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoate (19 g) as a mobile liquid. was removed by evaporation under reduced pressure
