Description

2,6-Difluorobenzyl chloride is a dihedral molecule that can be synthesized from an amide and a chlorinating agent. It is used in the chromatographic method to separate β-unsaturated ketones from their corresponding acid chloride. The 2,6-difluorobenzyl chloride was prepared by condensation of the corresponding acid chloride with phenol in an organic solvent. The validation of this reaction system was done using a chromatographic method on β-unsaturated ketones and chloride gas. The hydrogen chloride gas was bubbled through an ice water bath, generating chlorine gas which was then passed over the sample. The resulting 2,6-difluorobenzyl chloride was identified by its functional groups
