cf. C.A. 44, 10671a; 45, 5638h. o-BrC6H4CF3 (I) (75 g.) and 37 cc. concentrated H2SO4 at 15° treated dropwise with 24 cc. concentrated H2SO4 and 15 cc. 15% fuming HNO3 (the temperature kept below 25°), the mixture stirred 1.5 hrs., poured on ice, the organic layer in Et2O washed with dilute Na2CO3 and water, the Et2O evaporated, and the oil distilled yielded 18 g. I and 67 g. 2-bromo-5-nitro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (II), b2.5-3 87-8°, large, white crystals from aqueous EtOH, m. 46-8°. II on hydrolysis yielded 2-bromo-5-nitrobenzoic acid, white needles, m. 181-2°; anilide, yellow needles, m. 168-9°. II (19.6 g.) in 40 cc. EtOH added to 45 g. SnCl2.H2O and 35 cc. concentrated HCl in 80 cc. EtOH at 40° (the temperature kept at 40-50°), the mixture let cool to room temperature, poured into excess concentrated NaOH, the product isolated by steam distillation, the layers of the distillate extracted with Et2O, and the combined extracts evaporated in vacuo yielded 17 g. 4-bromo-3-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (III), large, white prisms from petr. ether or aqueous EtOH, m. 55-6°. Br (115 g.) in 100 cc. AcOH added dropwise to 140 g. m-F3CC6H4NHAc, 400 cc. AcOH, and 300 cc. water at 60° during 3 hrs., and the mixture poured on ice and extracted with Et2O yielded 165 g. crude material, 55 g. of which, refluxed with 55 g. concentrated HCl and 60 cc. EtOH, the cooled mixture treated with excess NaOH, and the organic phase extracted with Et2O yielded 22 g. m-F3CC6H4NH2, b7.5 70-1°, and 6 g. III [di-Ac derivative, m. 112-13.5° (from aqueous EtOH)]. III.HBr (from 4.46 g. III and 9 cc. 48% HBr in 20 cc. water cooled to 0°) treated with 10 g. ice, then 1.5 g. NaNO2 in 10 cc. water in 1 portion, the mixture stirred 1 hr. at 0°, a small amount of Cu added, and the mixture slowly warmed to 60° and steam-distilled yielded 4.6 g. 2,5-dibromo-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (IV), m. 49-50° (from aqueous EtOH) (extremely volatile). III (9.3 g.), 9.6 cc. concentrated H2SO4, and 43 cc. water cooled to 0° (III.H2SO4 precipitated), 2.95 g. NaNO2 in 20 cc. water added during 1 hr. (temperature at 0-2°), the mixture stirred several min., a saturated solution of 9.3 g. KI containing a trace of Cu bronze added, the mixture let warm to room temperature, stirred 1 hr., refluxed 1 hr., steam-distilled, and the distillate decolorized with bisulfite and cooled yielded 10.5 g. 2-bromo-5-iodo-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene, white needles from water, m. 78-80°. m-BrC6H4CF3 (120 g.) nitrated by the method of Finger and Reed (C.A. 39, 504.9) gave 127 g. oil, b5 99-100°, nD20 1.5202, which on chilling to 0° yielded 55 g. 5-bromo-2-nitro-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (V), faintly yellow crystals from petr. ether, m. 40-44°. V reduced with SnCl2 yielded 84% 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (VI), b1 60.7-62°, nD20 1.5327, converted in 51% yield by a Gattermann reaction similar to that above, into 2,5-Br2C6H3CF3 and into 41% 5-bromo-2-iodo-1-(trifluoromethyl)benzene (VII), m. 77-8° (from aqueous EtOH). The Grignard reagent from 35 g. VII treated with CO2 yielded 15.6 g. 4-bromo-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, m. 124-5° (from aqueous EtOH). VI (23.5 g.) with NaNO2 yielded 14.5 g. 4,4′-dibromo-2,2′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-1,1′-diazoaminobenzene, m. 139-40° (from petr. ether).
