Abstract

The invention relates to a process for synthesizing triketone herbicide cyclic sulcotrione. The method comprises the following steps: (1) synthesizing 2-chloro-6-methylsulfonyl methylbenzene; (2) synthesizing 2-chloro-3-acetyl-6-methylsulfonyl methylbenzene; (3) synthesizing 2-chloro-3-methyl-4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid; (4) synthesizing methyl 2-chloro-3-methyl-4-methylsulfonyl benzoate; (5) synthesizing methyl 2-chloro-3-bromomethyl-4-methylsulfonyl benzoate; (6) synthesizing 2-chloro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyoxy)methyl-4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid; (7) synthesizing 2-chloro-3-(2,2,2-trifluoroethyoxy)methyl-4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid 3-oxo-1-cyclohexene ester; and (8) synthesizing cyclic sulcotrione. The process disclosed by the invention has the beneficial effects that the reaction steps are reduced, the reaction time is shortened, and the yield of intermediates is improved; the reaction conditions are mild and safe; and the cost is reduced.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of preparation of pesticide technical materials, and in particular relates to a synthesis process of a triketone herbicide sulfotrione. Background technique

[0002] Herbicide Tembotrione, chemical name: 2-(2-chloro-4-methylsulfonyl-3-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl]benzoyl)cyclohexyl Alkane-1,3-dione. The triketone cornfield herbicide developed by Bayer in 2007 has a higher activity than nitrosulfone and mesotrione currently on the market, and is safe for crops. It has a strong killing effect on a variety of weeds, has no residual activity, has strong resistance to rain erosion, and has a wide spectrum of weeding. It can effectively control Capsicum spp. weeds.

[0003] The synthetic route that prior art adopts has following shortcoming: (1) adopt sodium methyl mercaptide smell relatively big, the mercaptan in the waste water is difficult to handle, cause environmental pollution; (2) production cost is too high; (3...
