Preparation and application of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzophenone_Kain Industrial Additive

Background and overview^[1]

2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzophenone is a ketone organic compound that can be used as a pharmaceutical synthesis intermediate.

Preparation^[1]

A preparation method of 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzophenone: add 1.0mol 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzoyl chloride (1.0mol ), 0.5 mol aluminum trichloride, 1 mol zinc chloride and 3000 ml methylene chloride, pass in nitrogen for protection, lower the temperature of the reaction solution to -20~-15°C, and then add 1.2 mol benzene dropwise. During the dropwise addition Control the temperature of the reaction solution to 20~-15°C. After the dropwise addition is completed, keep it warm and continue stirring for 2 hours. After the reaction is completed, slowly pour the reaction solution into 2000 ml of 0.5 mol/L hydrochloric acid (cooled to 0 to 10°C), keep the temperature at 0 to 10°C and continue stirring for 5 to 10 minutes. The water phase is extracted with 500 ml of dichloroethane. Combine the organic phases, wash once with 500 ml of saturated sodium carbonate solution, and then wash three times with 500 ml of water until neutral. Add 200 g of anhydrous magnesium sulfate to dry, and evaporate most of the methylene chloride. Add 500ml of a mixture of ethyl acetate and petroleum ether with a volume ratio of 2:1 to the remaining liquid to crystallize to obtain 2-chloro-5-nitrobenzophenone, and dry it to obtain 248.5g of product, with a yield of 95% and a purity of 99.5 %.

Apply^[2]
