Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new process for the preparation of 2,4,5-trimethylphenylacetic acid.
- 2,4,5-Trimethylphenylacetic acid is a well-known compound (for example from: J. Prakt. Chem. 80 (1909) 193; J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 58 (1936) 629-35).
- the preparation can be carried out, for example, starting from 2,4,5-trimethylphenyl acetophenone by an illgerodt-Kindler reaction.
- this method produces large amounts of sulfur-containing waste.
- highly odorous, volatile sulfur compounds can occur.
- Another method is based on 2,4,5-trimethylbenzyl bromide. It is used e.g. the corresponding nitrile with sodium cyanide, which is then saponified (J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 58 (1936) 629-35; DE-A 19 602 524).
- This nitrile can also be obtained by reacting durol (1,2,4,5-tetramemylbenzene) with cyanogen chloride at above 600 ° C. (DE-A 2 854210); however, the high toxicity of cyanogen chloride is disadvantageous.
- the 2,4,5-trimethylbenzyl bromide required can in turn be produced by bromination of durol with N-bromo-succmimide (see, for example, J. Amer. Chem. Soc. 92 (1970) 994-8).
- it is disadvantageous here that experience has shown that such brominations also lead to multi-brominated products, so that complex cleaning steps are necessary.
- 2,4,5-trimethylphenylacetic acid can be obtained in high yield and isomer purity by firstly producing pseudocumene with dichloroacetyl chloride in a Friedel-Crafts reaction to give 2,2-dichloro-l- (2,4,5 -trimethylphenyl) -ethanone is converted, the 2,4,5-trimethylmandelic acid is produced from it using an alkali metal hydroxide and is then finally used
- Dichlorinated acetophenones can also be prepared in a two-stage process by Friedel-Craf s acylation of the corresponding aromatics with acetyl chloride and subsequent chlorination.
- the present invention accordingly also relates to the new connection

- Solvents for the Friedel-Crafts reaction are largely inert solvents such as nitrobenzene, carbon disulfide, methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane or pseudocumene itself are used in the process according to the invention. Carbon disulfide, 1,2-dichloroethane and pseudocumene are preferred.
- Pseudocumol is particularly preferred.
- the amount of dichloroacetyl chloride to be used by the process according to the invention is not critical and can be varied within wide limits.
- 0.8 to 1.2 moles of dichloroacetyl chloride can be used per mole of pseudocumene.
- 0.9 to 1.1 moles of dichloroacetyl chloride per mole of pseudocumol are preferred.

- reaction times of the first step of the process according to the invention are between 1 and 24 hours.
- NaOH, KOH and CsOH can be used as alkali metal oxide in the second step of the process according to the invention.
- NaOH and KOH are preferred; NaOH is particularly preferred.
- the amount of alkali hydroxide is 3 to 7 moles per mole of 2,2-dichloro-1 - (2,4,5-trimethylphenyl) ethanone. 4 to 6 moles per mole of 2,2-dichloro-1- (2,4,5-trimethylphenyl) ethanone are preferably used.
- Water is used as the solvent for the second step of the process according to the invention.
- the second step of the process according to the invention can be carried out at temperatures between -20 and + 120 ° C. Temperatures between +20 and + 110 ° C are preferred.
- reaction times of the second step of the process according to the invention are between 1 and 24 hours.
- the reduction of 2,4,5-trimethylmandelic acid in the third step of the process according to the invention can be carried out by various fundamentally known methods for reducing mandelic acids, for example using hydrogen on suitable catalysts or using red phosphorus.
- the reduction is preferably carried out with red phosphorus.
- the red phosphorus is in the third step of the process according to the invention in
- Amounts of 0.67 to 3 moles per mole of 2,4,5-trimethylmandelic acid are used. 1 to 2 moles per mole of 2,4,5-trimethylmandelic acid are preferred. Excess red phosphorus can be recovered and reused.
- hydrogen iodide, KJ or NaJ is used as the iodide source.
- iodine can also be used. NaJ or KJ is preferably used.
- the amount of iodide is 1 to 30 mole percent (based on 2,4,5-trimethylmandelic acid); 5 to 20 mole percent are preferably used.

The mixture is then stirred at 0-5 ° C for 2 hours and allowed to come to room temperature. The reaction mixture is concentrated in 3300 ml of ice water with 66.7 g. Hydrochloric acid stirred in. It is extracted with once 350 ml and twice 500 ml of ethyl acetate. The combined organic phases are first shaken with 165 ml of water and then 85 ml of saturated aqueous NaCl solution, dried and concentrated (up to 70 ° C. bath / 1 mbar).
