1-Chloro-2,4,6-trifluorobenzene → 1,3,5-Trifluorobenzene

Participants

Reaction Conditions

Reaction Steps

An autoclave was charged with 6.68 g of 2-chloro-1,3,5-trifluorobenzene, 0.5 g of water and 7.5 g of 3-5% zinc-copper couple (prepared by adding an aqueous solution of copper sulfate to an aqueous dispersion of zinc powder (copper/zinc weight ratio of 3 to 5%), allowing the mixture to stand, filtering out the solid component under reduced pressure, and washing, drying and pulverizing the solid component in a mortar), and the content was heated at 330° C. with high speed stirring for 32 hours. After the reaction, the content was distilled off, and a fraction distilled off at 74° to 77° C. was dried over sodium sulfate to obtain 1,3,5-trifluorobenzene in an amount of 2.19 g (yield 42%).
