1,2-双(三氟甲基)苯 | 1,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene | 433-95-4 | C8H4F6 | 214.11 |
A benzene derivative containing at least two methyl groups and having two methyl groups in o-position is chlorinated so as to exchange five hydrogen atoms of the two o-methyl groups for chlorine, the chlorine is exchanged for fluorine, and the product again chlorinated to give an o-trifluoromethyl-difluorochloromethylbenzene, in which the chlorine may be again replaced by fluorine to give an o-dimethylbenzene hexafluoride. The products are intermediates for dyestuffs, fungicides, and insecticides. In examples: (1) o-xylene or 4-chloro-o-xylene or a dichloro-o-xylene is pentachlorinated, for example, according to the process described in Specification 464,859, the chlorine exchanged for fluorine, and the product again chlorinated to give 1-trifluoromethyl-2-difluorochloromethylbenzene or its 4-chlor or dichlor derivatives, which are then converted to the corresponding hexafluorides; (2) pseudocumene, or a chloro or dichloro derivative, is octachlorinated, the chlorine replaced by fluorine and the product again chlorinated to give a bis-trifluoromethyldifluorochloromethylbenzene, which is then converted to the corresponding nonofluoride; (3) durene is converted by way of its decachloride and decafluoride to a bis-trifluoromethyl-bis-difluorochloromethylbenzene, and thence to durene dodecafluoride. Specification 395,227 also is referred to.
