- PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF ORGANIC HALIDES
-
The present invention provides a halo-de-carboxylation process for the preparation of organic chlorides, organic bromides and mixtures thereof, from their corresponding carboxylic acids, using a chlorinating agent selected from trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA), dichloroisocyanuric acid (DCCA), or combination thereof, and a brominating agent.

- Electrochemical fluorination of aromatic compounds in anhydrous HF
-
Electrochemical fluorination of anisole furnished 2- and 4-fluoroanisoles in a 3:1 ratio, guaiacol, and 4,4′-dimethoxydiphenyl ether. Phenylacetonitrile alongside the fluorination in the ring suffered the transformation of the cyano group into a trifluoromethyl. 4-Bromobenzamide was fluorinated to a high conversion mostly in the ring to afford predominantly 4-bromo-3,3,6,6-tetrafluoro-1,4-cyclohexadienecarboxamide. 4-Bromonitrobenzene in a low yield gave 4-bromofluoronitrobenzene and 3,4-dibromofluoronitrobenzene. 3-Bromo-nitrobenzene and 1,4-dichlorobenzene did not undergo fluorination. In the course of the electrolysis of the 4-bromobenzamide and 4-bromonitrobenzene in anhydrous HF apart the fluorination occurred also the bromination of the substrates.

- A novel method for the nitration of simple aromatic compounds
-
Simple aromatic compounds such as benzene, alkylbenzenes, halogenobenzenes, and some disubstituted benzenes are nitrated in excellent yields with high regioselectivity under mild conditions using zeolite β as a catalyst and a stoichiometric quantity of nitric acid and acetic anhydride. The zeolite can be recycled, and the only byproduct is acetic acid, which can be separated easily from the nitration product by distillation; the process is inexpensive and represents an attractive method for the clean synthesis of a range of nitroaromatic compounds. For example, nitration of toluene gives a quantitative yield of mononitrotoluenes, of which 79% is 4-nitrotoluene; fluorobenzene gives a quantitative yield of mononitro compounds, of which 94% is 4-nitrofluorobenzene; and 2-fluorotoluene gives a 96% yield of mononitro products, of which 90% is the 5-nitro isomer and 10% is the 4-nitro isomer.
