The invention provides a high-yield clean synthesis process of
thiamethoxam, and relates to the technical field of
pesticide fine chemical synthesis, and the process mainly comprises the following steps: Sp1, destroying
crystal lattices of 3-methyl-4-nitroimido-perhydro-1, 3, 5-oxadiazine by using an
ultrasonic cavitation technology, forming a low-temperature high-activity suspension in the presence of micronized inorganic base, and breaking through the
bottleneck of
solid-liquid
mass transfer; the preparation method comprises the following steps: constructing an efficient nucleophilic
system by using a
quaternary ammonium salt and open-chain polyether composite catalyst; 2-chloro-5-chloromethylthiazole is introduced by adopting a two-way gradient feeding strategy combining low-temperature slow dropping and high-temperature fast dropping, reaction
kinetics is accurately controlled, and
decomposition of heat-sensitive raw materials is effectively inhibited; sp4, cleaning post-treatment is achieved through hot
filtration desalination,
mother liquor circulation and
solvent recovery. The method effectively solves the problems of low yield and more impurities in the traditional high-temperature process, the
molar yield of
thiamethoxam can be stabilized at 96% or above, the product purity is high, the whole-process clean production is realized, and the method has remarkable industrial application value.
