Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] This paper relates to the field of chemical synthesis, in particular to a method for synthesizing 2(3H)-benzofuranone by microwave. Background technique
[0002] Azoxystrobin is a methoxyacrylic fungicide developed by Syngenta, and currently ranks first in sales of fungicides, and 2(3H)-benzofuranone is a key intermediate of the fungicide azoxystrobin. At present, the main synthetic methods at home and abroad use o-chlorophenylacetic acid or o-bromophenylacetic acid, or o-iodophenylacetic acid as starting materials, after high temperature and high pressure reaction, acidification, solvent extraction, and crystallization to obtain o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid. The rate is about 60%. Dissolve o-hydroxyphenylacetic acid with 3 to 4 times of toluene, then add sulfuric acid or p-toluenesulfonic acid as a dehydration catalyst, react at a high temperature of 110°C to 120°C for 8h to 12h, reflux and dehydrate, wash with water and remove toluene.
