Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Position-1 halogen can be selectively reduced by reacting a compound represented by formula (3): [wherein X represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, or an iodine atom] with halogen in the presence of a heterogeneous transition metal catalyst to produce 2-(halogenomethyl)-1-methyl-3-nitrobenzene represented by formula (1): [wherein the symbol is as defined above].

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . A method for producing a compound represented by formula (1), comprising a step of allowing a compound represented by formula (3): [wherein X represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, or an iodine atom] to react with hydrogen in the presence of a heterogeneous transition metal catalyst, thereby giving the compound represented by formula (1): [wherein the symbol is as defined above]. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the heterogeneous transition metal catalyst is a heterogeneous palladium catalyst. 3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the compound represented by formula (3) is allowed to react with hydrogen at a temperature of 0 to 40° C. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the heterogeneous transition metal catalysts is palladium/carbon, and the compound represented by formula (3) is allowed to react with hydrogen at a temperature of 0 to 25° C. 5 . A method for producing a compound represented by formula (1), comprising: a step of allowing a compound represented by formula (2): to react with one or more halogenating agents selected from the group consisting of chlorine, bromine, N-bromosuccinimide, sodium bromoisocyanurate, dibromoisocyanuric acid, 1,3-dibromo-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, iodine, and N-iodosuccinimide, thereby giving a compound represented by formula (3): [wherein X represents a chlorine atom, a bromine atom, or an iodine atom]; and a step of allowing the compound represented by formula (3) to react with hydrogen in the presence of a heterogeneous transition metal catalyst, thereby giving the compound represented by formula (1): [wherein the symbol is as defined above]. 6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the heterogeneous transition metal catalyst is a heterogeneous palladium catalyst. 7 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the compound represented by formula (3) is allowed to react with hydrogen at a temperature of 0 to 40° C. 8 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the heterogeneous transition metal catalysts is palladium/carbon, and the compound represented by formula (3) is allowed to react with hydrogen at a temperature of 0 to 25° C. 9 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the compound represented by formula (2) is allowed to react with the halogenating agent in the presence of a radical initiator. 10 . A compound represented by formula (8):
