Definitions
- the present invention relates to the preparation of 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone using 5-bromo-1,2,3-trichloro-benzene as a starting material.
- 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone is an important intermediate for the preparation of pesticidally active isoxazoline-substituted benzamides as for example disclosed in EP 1932836A1.
- 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone can be advantageously prepared by using 5-bromo-1,2,3-trichloro-benzene as a starting material.
- 5-bromo-1,2,3-trichloro-benzene can be prepared as described in Narander, N.; Srinivasu, P.; Kulkarni, S.J.; Raghavan, K.V. Synth. Comm. 2000, 30, 3669 and Sott, R.; Hawner, C.; Johansen, J.E. Tetrahedron 2008, 64, 4135.
- 3-Trifluoromethyl chalcones can be prepared according to methods disclosed in WO 2009/126668.
- aryltrifluoromethyl ketones by reacting derivatives of trifluoroacetic acid with organometallic reagents derived from haloarenes is well known and for example described in WO 2012/120135 for the preparation of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(3,4,5-trichlorophenyl)ethanone.
- organometallic reagents derived from haloarenes for example described in WO 2012/120135 for the preparation of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(3,4,5-trichlorophenyl)ethanone.
- 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone the corresponding starting material is 5-bromo-1,3-dichloro-2-fluoro-benzene.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to the preparation of 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone using 5-bromo-1,2,3-trichloro-benzene as a starting material.
- 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone is an important intermediate for the preparation of pesticidally active isoxazoline-substituted benzamides as for example disclosed in EP 1932836A1.
- 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone can be advantageously prepared by using 5-bromo-1,2,3-trichloro-benzene as a starting material. 5-bromo-1,2,3-trichloro-benzene can be prepared as described in Narander, N.; Srinivasu, P.; Kulkarni, S.J.; Raghavan, K.V. Synth. Comm. 2000, 30, 3669 and Sott, R.; Hawner, C.; Johansen, J.E. Tetrahedron 2008, 64, 4135. 3-Trifluoromethyl chalcones can be prepared according to methods disclosed in WO 2009/126668.
- The synthesis of aryltrifluoromethyl ketones by reacting derivatives of trifluoroacetic acid with organometallic reagents derived from haloarenes is well known and for example described in WO 2012/120135 for the preparation of 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(3,4,5-trichlorophenyl)ethanone. For the synthesis of 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone the corresponding starting material is 5-bromo-1,3-dichloro-2-fluoro-benzene. However, this substance is difficult to prepare in particular on a large scale with the only described synthesis being an inefficient multistep approach described in Miller, M.W.; Mylari, B.L.; Howes, H.L.; Figdor, S.K.; Lynch, M.J.; Lynch, J.E.; Koch, R.C. J. Med. Chem. 1980, 23, 1083, CN 101177379, WO 2009/070485 and CN 103664511 (Scheme 1).
- Therefore, it is highly desirable to prepare 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone from the more easily accessible 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(3,4,5-trichlorophenyl)ethanone. Surprisingly, it was found that reacting 2,2,2-trifluoro-1-(3,4,5-trichlorophenyl)ethanone with potassium fluoride in the presence of a phase transfer catalyst and a polar solvent provided the desired 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone. trifluoro-ethanone. While such nucleophilic aromatic substitution reactions are well known for nitroaromatic compounds (as for example disclosed in WO 92/00270) there is no prior art describing comparable reactions with trifluoromethyl ketones since this group is in general not known to be a sufficiently strong activating group.
- It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a process for the preparation of 1-(3,5-dichloro-4-fluoro-phenyl)-2,2,2-trifluoro-ethanone using 5-bromo-1,2,3-trichloro-benzene as an intermediate.
