Synthesis of 3,4-dibromo-3,4,4-trichloro-1-phenylbutan-1-one and 1-aryl-2-bromo-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones from 3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-enoic acid
摘要:
Bromination of 3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-enoic acid in boiling carbon tetrachloride led to the formation of 2-bromo-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-enoic acid as a result of replacement of hydrogen in the CH2 group. The reaction at 40 degrees C involved the double C=C bond to give 3,4-dibromo-3,4,4-trichlorobutanoic acid. The brominated acids were converted into the corresponding chlorides which were used to acylate benzene, toluene, and bromobenzene according to Friedel-Crafts. The acylation was not selective, and only the reaction of 3,4-dibromo-3,4,4-trichlorobutanoyl chloride with benzene gave 3,4-dibromo-3,4,4-trichloro-1-phenylbutan-1-one as the only product. 1-Aryl-2-bromo-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones were synthesized by bromination of the corresponding 1-aryl-3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-en-1-ones which were prepared previously by Friedel-Crafts acylation of substituted benzenes with 3,4,4-trichlorobut-3-enoyl chloride.
