AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for synthesizing 4-chloromethylthiazole suffer from low yields, high raw material costs, and generate large amounts of waste and wastewater during production, while product purification technologies are insufficient.
4-Chloromethylthiazole was obtained by reacting dithioammonium formate with 1,3-dichloroacetone, followed by oxidation with potassium permanganate and solvent with ethyl acetate, and finally neutralization with sodium hydroxide.
The overall yield was increased to 95.2%, the reaction temperature and raw material costs were reduced, and safety risks and resource consumption were decreased.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pesticide intermediate preparation, in particular to a preparation method of 4-chloromethylthiazole. BACKGROUND
[0002] 4-chloromethylthiazole is an important organic synthesis intermediate, and its core use is as a key starting material or intermediate for synthesizing a series of thiazole ring-containing pesticides. Thiazole pesticides generally have excellent fungicidal, insecticidal or miticidal activity. Due to the highly active chloromethyl in its structure, 4-chloromethylthiazole is very active and can easily react with nucleophilic reagents (such as amines, alcohols, thiols, etc.) to introduce a thiazole group into a larger target molecule, which is the material basis for pesticide creation and production. Its synthesis process and quality directly affect the cost, yield and quality of the final pesticide product.
[0003] Current synthesis methods of 4-chloromethylthiazole include: 1. producing 4-chloromethylthiazole by chlorinating 4-methylthiazole; 2. synthesizing 4-chloromethylthiazole from 1,3-dichloroacetone and thioformamide; and 3. producing 4-chloromethylthiazole by reacting 1,3-dichloroacetone with thiourea.
