The invention belongs to the field of preparation of
fluorine-containing compounds, and particularly relates to a preparation method of 2, 4, 5-trifluorophenylacetic acid. According to the method, 2, 4, 5-trifluoroaniline is taken as a
raw material, 2, 4, 5-trifluoro-(2, 2, 2-trichloroethyl)
benzene is synthesized through two-step reaction, and then the target product 2, 4, 5-trifluorophenylacetic acid can be obtained through
hydrolysis. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, generating a 2, 4, 5-trifluorobenzene diazonium salt intermediate at a relatively high temperature, and adding vinylidene
chloride before the diazotization reaction is started; according to the method disclosed by the invention,
salt formation is complete, vinylidene
chloride can be rapidly subjected to a
coupling reaction with 2, 4, 5-trifluoroaniline diazonium salt, and generation of azo compounds is reduced, so that the yield and the content of the obtained intermediate and the product are higher than those of a contrast file, and the
hydrolysis step does not generate
nitrogen-containing
wastewater, so that the method conforms to the concept of green
sustainable development.
