Description
SPECIFICATION
Process for the production of fluorinated aromatic compounds
This invention relates to the production of fluorinated aromatic compounds containing one or two ring-substituted fluorine atoms and at least one other functional group, by the halogen-exchange reaction on the corresponding chlorinated or brominated aromatic compounds by means of an alkali metal fluoride.
Our British patent specification 1,469,700, published 6th April 1977, describes and claims such a process wherein 2-chlorinitrobenzene is heated with an alkali metal fluoride at a temperature of from 230 to 250"C in the presence of tetrahydrothiophen-1 ,1 -dioxide (sulpholane). The preferred quantity of sulpholane is from 0.3 to 0.9 moles per mole of the 2-chloronitrobenzene.
United States patent specification 4,069,262 issued January 17th 1978, describes the same reaction when carried out in the same reaction medium but using finely-divided potassium fluoride and a catalyst for the reaction, chosen from macrocyclic ethers and quaternary ammonium halides. The reaction temperature claimed in from 240 to 250"C. The preferred quaternary ammonium halides mentioned in the specification are tetrabutyl-ammonium chloride, benzyl-trimethyl-ammonium fluoride and benzyl-triethyl-ammonium chloride. The role of the catalyst is apparently to promote the rate of the reaction by enhancing the solubilization of potassium fluoride, and hence the availability of fluoride ions in the reaction medium.
A further United States patent specification 4,140,719, issued February 20th 1979 deals with the preparation of difluoroaniline by the halogen-exchange fluorination of 2,4,5-trichloronitrobenzene using an alkali metal fluoride in an organic solvent and in the presence of certain quaternary complexes of nitrogen arsenic, phosphorus antimony or bismuth having relatively long-chain hydrocarbon substituents, followed by hydrogenation of the product.
The problem of halogen-exchange fluorination of monochloro- or dichloro- nitrobenzenes is made difficult by the requirement for long reaction times to achieve acceptable conversions and the fact that at temperatures above about 200"C, although reaction rates are increased, carbon recovery is reduced due to unknown side-reactions resulting in tarry and carbonaceous materials. There is therefore an incentive to try to increase reaction rates at relatively lower temperatures (preferably between 1000 and 170"C).
We have now found that the above-defined halogen-exchange reactions on mono-chloro and dichloronitrobenzenes can be carried out at an enhanced reaction rate and at a lower temperature if certain quaternary ammonium complexes are present in the reaction mixture.
This invention consists in a process for the production of fluorinated aromatic compounds containing one or two ring-substituted fluorine atoms and at least one other functional group, comprising heating the corresponding chlorinated or brominated aromatic compound with an alkali metal or ammonium fluoride in an aprotic solvent in the presence of a quaternary ammonium compound of general formula;
where X an anion capable of dissociating from the cation and R1, R2, R3, and R4 are monovalent hydrocarbon radicals, chosen from alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, aryl, aralkyl and cycloalkyl, wherein the sum of the carbon atoms of these radicals is at least 18, and separating the fluorinated aromatic compound thus produced.
Preferably the functional groups (other than halogen) are nitro- or nitrile-groups which are positioned ortho- or para- to the halogen atoms.
Preferably the alkali metal fluoride is that of potassium or sodium, although caesium fluoride may be used.
Preferably the aprotic solvent is polar e.g. sulpholane or dimethyl sulphoxide but it may be non-polar e.g.
toluene or benzene. Alternatively the aprotic solvent may be constituted by the organic starting material or by an excess of the quaternary ammonium compound.
Preferably the quaternary ammonium compound contains 3 radicals containing from 8 to 12 carbon atoms and one having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms. A more preferred quaternary ammonium compound is sold under the trade-name of "ALIQUAT 336" which has the general formula;
n(C8 - C12)3 N+CH3CI The temperature of the reaction is not critical but it is preferred to work between 70" and 220"C, preferably from 1000 to 175"C. Normally the reaction will be carried out, in solution, at or about ambient pressures. The reaction times may be from 2 to 100 hours.
In general, known filtration and distillation techniques may be employed for isolating the products and, if necessary, recovering the solvents for further use. Such techniques are discussed in more detail in British patent specification 1,469,700.
The invention will be further illustrated by reference to the following non-limiting Examples in which
Example 1 sets out the general procedure used to fluorinate 2-chloronitrobenzene with potassium fluoride in sulpholane in the presence of "ALIQUAT 336". Examples 2 to 13 illustrate fluorinations according to the invention on a variety of organic substrates and in a variety of solvents, using the quaternary ammonium compounds "ALIQUAT 336" and tetradodecyl ammonium bromide. The reaction temperature was 1300C (unless otherwise specified) and the reaction time was 6 hours.The abbreviations used in Examples 2-13 are as follows:
2-CNB 2-chloronitrobenzene > 99%
4-CNB 4-chloronitrobenzene > 99 /O 2,4-DCNB 2,4-dichloronitrobenzene > 99%
2-CBN 2-chlorobenzonitrile > 99%
DMSO Dimethyl sulphoxide > 99%
Sulpholane Tetrahydrothiophen-1 ,1 -dioxide > 98%
Toluene Toluene > 99.5%
KF Potassium fluoride > 97%
Aliquat 336 Tricaprylmethylammonium chloride > 99%
TDAB Tetradodecylammonium bromide > 99%
Where "F" has replaced "C" represents fluoro replacing chloro.

Example I
2-chloronitrobenzene (128.7g, 0.82M), sulpholane (68.6g, 0.57M) "ALIQUAT336" (46.6, 0.09M) and KF (50.0g, 0.86M) were heated in a 500 ml 3-neck-flask. The mixture was kept at a temperature of 1 25"C (maximum temperature 1 35"C). The mixture was burnt orange in colour; samples were removed at intervals.
The apparatus was adjusted for steam distillation and water (90cc) added. A total of 70.5g. organics was recovered from 21/2L distillate and 16.89 from 3L. (A total of 87.39 from 51/2L). The distillate came over as a foam-like emulsion (yellow) which formed three layers; 2-fluoronitrobenzene on the bottom, emulsion, then water on top. As the 2-fluoronitrobenzene was removed, so more fell out from the emulsion until no emulsion was left.
The percentage conversion of 2-chloronitrobenzene to 2-fluoronitrobenzene for cumulative reaction times up to 30 hours is shown in the following table:
% by gas/liquid Conversion %
Cumulative time chromatography 2FNBx100
2FNB 2CINB 2FNB+2CNB
1 hr 2.76 56.14 4.7
3 hrs 10.44 50.90 17.0
5 hrs 13.20 43.87 23.1
7 hrs 17.34 41.41 29.5
9 hrs 20.44 37.23 35.4
11 hrs 23.42 32.72 41.7
13 hrs 25.57 29.55 46.4
15 hrs 27.62 27.43 50.2 17 hrs 29.16 27.08 51.8
19 hrs 30.17 25.14 54.5 26 hrs 30.77 23.17 57.0
30 hrs 39.47 25.23 61.0
Thus conversions of about 60% are achieved after about 30 hrs. at 1250 - 1350C in the presence of ALIQUAT 336.At similar temperatures in the absence of ALIQUAT 336 very much lower conversions are obtained in the same times.
Example 2 509. of 2-chloronitrobenzene was heated with 309. of KF and 1 5g. of ALIQUAT 336 at 130"C for 6 hours. The mole ratio of organics:fluoride:solvent:phase transfer catalyst was 1:1.6:0:0.1. The product was 2fluoronitrobenzene with a carbon recovery of 98.0%, a yield of 97.9% and a formation of 23.6%
Example 28 1 50g. of 2-chloronitrobenzene was heated with 80 g of KF at 130"C for 6 hours. The mole ratio of organics:fluoride:solvent:phase transfer catalyst was 1:1.4:0:0. The carbon recovery was 99.0% but yield and formation of desired product were NIL.
Example 3 4-chloronitrobenzene (1009) was heated with KF (40g) in sulpholane (809) in the presence of ALIQUAT 336 (259) at 130"C for 6 hours.
