Process for the preparation of polyhalogenated benzotrifluorides, benzotrichlorides and benzoyl chlorides and new trihalogenobenzotrichlorides and -benzoyl chlorides

Polyhalogenated benzotrifluorides can be reacted with chlorides from the series of Friedel-Crafts catalysts to give the corresponding benzotrichlorides, which can be hydrolysed by water in the presence of iron(III) chloride to give the corresponding benzoyl chlorides. These are suitable as intermediate products for the preparation of active compounds for medicaments and feed additives.

RELATIONSHIPS AND KINETICS OF THE EXHAUSTIVE CHLORINATION OF m-CHLOROTRIFLUOROMETHYLBENZENE AND TRIFLUOROMETHYLBENZENE

The exhaustive electrophilic chlorination of m-chlorotrifluoromethylbenzene and trifluoromethylbenzene, catalyzed by ferric chloride , was investigated on the basis of a correlation approach.The relationships governing the regulation of the reactivity of the chlorine derivatives of trifluoromethylbenzene were studied.A quantitative relation was established between the direction of chlorination and the effects of the substituents; the effects of the latter remain unchanged in the polychloro derivatives of trifluoromethylbenzene, while the overall effect is close to additive.The distribution of the isomers was determined for various degrees of substitution of trifluoromethylbenzene: monochloro, 2- , 3- , 4- ; dichloro, 2,5- , 3,4- , 2,3- , 3,5- ; trichloro, 2,3,5- and 2,4,5- , 3,4,5- , 2,3,6- , 2,3,4- ; tetrachloro-, 2,3,5,6- , 2,3,4,5- .The following derivatives are formed during the chlorination of m-chlorotrifluoromethylbenzene: dichloro, 2,5- , 3,4- , 2,3- , 3,5- ; trichloro, 2,3,5- and 2,4,5- , 3,4,5- , 2,3,6- , 2,3,4- ; tetrachloro, 2,3,5,6- , 2,3,4,5- .The distribution of the isomers agrees with the distribution calculated on the basis of the employed parameters and the additivity principle.The compositions of the products with various degrees of chlorination are given satisfactorily by kinetic curves describing a multistage system of consecutive and parallel irreversible first-order reactions.
