Problems solved by technology

The weak point of above-mentioned prior art is that the yield of target product 2-nitro-3-methylbenzoic acid is low, generally no more than 50%
[0010] As can be seen from the above analysis, the existing nitration method of m-toluic acid has many by-products of nitration and low product selectivity.

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for synthesizing 2-nitro-3-methylbenzoic acid. The method comprises that powdery meta-methylbenzoic acid and nitric acid undergo a reaction at -30 to -15 DEG C to produce a nitrification reaction solution, and the nitrification reaction solution is separated and purified to form a 2-nitro-3-methylbenzoic acid product. The method has simple processes, is easy to operate, has a high conversion rate of m-methylbenzoic acid, has high selectivity of 2-nitro-3-methylbenzoic acid, and has obvious environmental protection effects and significant economic benefits.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fine chemicals, in particular to a method for synthesizing 2-nitro-3-methylbenzoic acid. Background technique [0002] 2-nitro-3-methylbenzoic acid is the core starting material for the production of the blockbuster insecticides chlorantraniliprole and cyantraniliprole. At present, its synthesis method has the following two categories: [0003] The first category: JP05132450 report, using 2-nitro-m-xylene as raw material, prepared by oxidation method, the chemical reaction that occurs is: [0004] [0005] The disadvantage of this method is that the source of raw materials is limited, the price is expensive, and the cost is high. At the same time, since the oxidation process itself belongs to a typical free radical reaction mechanism, various intermediate products are inevitably generated, resulting in difficulties in subsequent separation and purification. [0006] The second category: using m-tolu...
