Abstract
An improved and efficient bromination of 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzene was developed. A safe and reliable preparation of the potentially explosive 3,5-bis(trifluoromethyl)phenyl Grignard and 3-trifluoromethylphenyl Grignard reagents, from the precursor bromides, is described. Reaction System Screening Tool (RSST) and Differential Thermal Analysis (DTA) studies suggest these trifluoromethylphenyl Grignard reagents can detonate on loss of solvent contact or upon moderate heating. When prepared and handled according to the methods described herein, these Grignard reagents can be safely prepared and carried on to advanced intermediates.
