2,6-Difluorobenzonitrile Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The preparation method is fluorination of 2, 6-dichlorobenzonitrile to obtain 2, 6-difluorobenzonitrile. Alternative solvents include N-methylpyrrolidone, γ-butyrolactone, sulfolane, dimethyl sulfoxide, N, N-dimethylformamide, etc. The catalyst is a quaternary ammonium salt phase transfer catalyst. Preparation example: Add 86g (0.5mol) 2, 6-dichlorobenzonitrile, 87g (1.5mol) anhydrous potassium fluoride, 90mL dimethylformamide and 2.6g PEG-600 to the dry reaction bottle, Stir at 150~160℃ for 10h. Cool to room temperature, add an equal volume of water, separate the organic layer, extract the aqueous layer three times with 150 mL of ether, combine the organic layers, wash with water, dry over anhydrous sodium sulfate, recover the solvent, and distill under reduced pressure to obtain 2, 6-difluoro Benzonitrile. In addition, it can also be fluorinated from 2-chloro-6-nitrobenzonitrile to obtain 2, 6-difluorobenzonitrile.

Uses

2,6-Difluorobenzonitrile is an important intermediate in the synthesis of benzoyl urea pesticides. It is used to synthesize the next intermediate 2,6-difluorobenzamide, and finally obtain hexaflumuron. Pesticides such as chlorfenuron, flufenuron and lufenuron. 2,6-Difluorobenzonitrile is a new pesticide intermediate, mainly used to produce high-efficiency, low-toxicity, and broad-spectrum fluorine-containing benzoyl urea pesticides and herbicide intermediates 2,6-difluorobenzamide . It has also been applied in medicine.
