Problems solved by technology

However, this method also has the disadvantages of many reaction steps and complicated separation and purification.
And in the process of preparing methoxyfenozide from 3-methoxyl-2-methylbenzoic acid obtained by this method, it is necessary to carry out vacuum distillation operation to intermediate 3-methoxyl-2-methylbenzoyl chloride , acyl chlorides severely corrode the equipment and pipelines during the distillation process, and the equipment costs are high, which is not conducive to production
[0006] In summary, the existing production process for the preparation of 2-methyl-3-methoxybenzoic acid has the disadvantages of complex process, high production cost, and unstable product quality, and it is difficult to meet the production needs of the pesticide methoxyfenozide

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of synthesis of organic pesticide intermediates, in particular to a synthesis process of 2-methyl-3-methoxybenzoic acid. Background technique [0002] 2-Methyl-3-methoxybenzoic acid is an important intermediate of the high-efficiency and low-toxicity pesticide methoxyfenozide. The traditional preparation process depends on the different starting materials. The following three methods are important: [0003] Method 1: Use 2,6-dichlorotoluene as a raw material to obtain 3-methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid through etherification, Grignard reaction, hydrolysis, or Grignard reaction, hydrolysis, and etherification. This method adopts the highly toxic reagent sodium cyanide and the grid reaction, which has high safety risks, unstable yield and product quality, and is not conducive to industrialization. [0004] Method 2: Using 2-methyl-3-nitrobenzoic acid as a raw material, synthesize 3-methoxy-2-methylbenzoic acid th...
