Embodiment 1

[0239] (E) Preparation of methyl 2-{2-[6-chloropyrimidin-4-yloxy]phenyl}-3-methoxyacrylate (compound IIa)

[0240] To a stirred mixture of 3-(methoxymethylene)-2(3H)-benzofuranone (97%, 91 g, 0.5 mol) in methyl formate (275 g) was added 4, 6-Dichloropyrimidine (98%, 92 g, 0.605 mol). At 10°C to 15°C, 1,8-diazabicyclo[5,4.0]undec-7-ene (0.038g, 0.249mmol, 0.05mol%) was added to the above reaction mixture, then dropwise Add sodium methoxide (30%, 110 g, 0.61 mol) in methanol. After the addition was complete, the reaction mass was maintained at 10°C to 15°C for 1 hour. Methyl formate was then distilled off from the mixture while maintaining the temperature below 55°C. Toluene (300ml) and water (200ml) were added to the remaining residue, and the mixture was stirred at 60°C to 65°C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the organic layer was separated. Toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the oily residue was heated to 130°C to 135°C. Potassium b...

Embodiment 2

[0242] (E) Preparation of methyl 2-{2-[6-chloropyrimidin-4-yloxy]phenyl}-3-methoxyacrylate (compound IIa)

[0243] To a stirred mixture of 3-(methoxymethylene)-2(3H)-benzofuranone (97%, 91 g, 0.5 mol) in methyl formate (275 g) was added 4, 6-Dichloropyrimidine (98%, 92 g, 0.605 mol). At 10°C to 15°C, 1,5-diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene (0.031 g, 0.249 mmol, 0.05 mol%) was added to the reaction mixture followed by dropwise addition of sodium methoxide (30% in methanol, 110 g, 0.61 mol). The reaction mass was maintained at 10°C to 15°C for 1 hour. The methyl formate was then distilled off while keeping the temperature below 55°C. Toluene (300ml) and water (200ml) were added to the residue, and the mixture was stirred at 60°C to 65°C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the organic layer was separated. Toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the oily residue was heated to 130°C to 135°C. Potassium bisulfate (1.36 g, 0.01 mol) was added and the reactio...

[0244] Embodiment 3 (comparative example)

[0245] Preparation of (E)-methyl 2-{2-[6-chloropyrimidin-4-yloxy]phenyl}-3-methoxyacrylate (IIa) in the absence of catalyst:

[0246] To a stirred mixture of 3-(methoxymethylene)-2(3H)-benzofuranone (97%, 91 g, 0.5 mol) in methyl formate (275 g) was added 4, 6-Dichloropyrimidine (98%, 92 g, 0.605 mol). Sodium methoxide (30% in methanol, 110 g, 0.61 mol) was added dropwise to the reaction mixture at 10°C to 15°C. The reaction mass was maintained at 10°C to 15°C for 1 hour. Methyl formate was distilled off at atmospheric pressure while maintaining the temperature below 55°C. Toluene (300ml) and water (200ml) were added to the residue, and the mixture was heated to 60°C to 65°C. The mixture was cooled to room temperature, and the organic layer was separated. Toluene was distilled off under reduced pressure, and the oily residue was heated to 130°C to 135°C. Potassium hydrogen sulfate (1.36 g, 0.01 mol) was added to the mixture, ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a process for preparation of strobilurin compound, azoxystrobin and its intermediates using a catalyst selected from 1,8-Diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene or 1,5-Diazabicyclo[4.3.0]non-5-ene, salts thereof, or derivatives thereof.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for preparing strobilurin compounds. More specifically, the present invention relates to a method for preparing azoxystrobin and a method for preparing intermediate compounds useful for the preparation of azoxystrobin. Background technique [0002] Strubilurins are broad-spectrum fungicides and are widely used insecticides in foliar applications and seed treatments. Owing to their broad-spectrum activity profile, strobilurins are an important class of fungicides. Notable among this class of compounds are azoxystrobin, trifloxystrobin, fluoxastrobin and picoxystrobin. [0003] EP 382375 discloses various derivatives of acrylic acid, including azoxystrobin, useful as fungicides. The patent also discloses a method for preparing azoxystrobin and its intermediates. [0004] WO2008043978 discloses a method for preparing azoxystrobin using 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) as a catalyst. [0005] WO2017060917...
