Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of organic synthesis, and in particular to a method for preparing malononitrile oxime ether compounds. Background Art

[0002] The existing literature provides a method for synthesizing malononitrile oxime ether compounds having good control effects on plant bacterial diseases and fungal diseases, as shown in the following formula:

[0003]

[0004] Wherein: LG represents a leaving group, selected from halogen or other conventional nucleofugal groups, such as trifluoromethyl, methanesulfonate or toluenesulfonate; M represents a cation, such as Na + , K + , C S + 、Ag + or NH4 + etc.; W represents various aryl or heteroaryl groups; L represents various bridges; W is selected from aryl or heteroaryl groups.

[0005] However, when the existing method is used to prepare the malononitrile oxime ether compound represented by the general formula I, the yield is generally lower than 60%, and the price of the raw material malononitrile for preparing the compound represented by the general formula III is relatively high, which leads to a relatively high cost of the compound represented by the general formula III.

[0006] Patent 201810771581.7 records that when malononitrile oxime ether compounds are prepared from formula (VI) as raw material, phosphorus oxychloride and the like as dehydrating agent, and toluene as solvent, the yield of formula (VII) is increased to 80%. However, this method requires too much phosphorus oxychloride, produces a large amount of phosphoric acid and hydrogen chloride wastewater, and has certain difficulties in the industrial preparation process.

[0007]

[0008] Therefore, how to develop a synthesis method that is more suitable for industrial production is a difficult problem that technicians in this field urgently need to solve. Summary of the invention

[0009] The main purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of low product yield, large amount of three wastes and high preparation cost when using the existing method to prepare malononitrile oxime ether compounds, and to provide a method for preparing malononitrile oxime ether compounds.

[0010] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0011] A method for preparing a malononitrile oxime ether compound, wherein the malononitrile oxime ether compound has a structure shown in formula (VII):

[0012] Said W is selected from aryl or heteroaryl;

[0013] The preparation method comprises: reacting the raw material (VI) with a dehydrating agent at 0-40° C. in the presence of a solvent to obtain a malononitrile oxime ether compound represented by formula (VII);

[0014]

[0015] The dehydration reaction is carried out under the action of a dehydrating agent and a base to obtain a malononitrile oxime ether compound represented by formula (VII).

[0016] The raw material (IV) is then reacted under the action of a solvent and a dehydrating agent in the presence of a base at 0 to 40° C. for 0.5 to 24 hours.

[0017] The dehydrating agent is selected from one or more of acetic anhydride, trifluoromethylacetic anhydride, trichloromethylacetic anhydride, trichloroacetyl chloride, methylsulfonyl chloride, trichloromethyl carbonate, thionyl chloride, phosphorus oxychloride and phosphorus pentoxide, preferably one or more of phosphorus oxychloride, trifluoroacetic anhydride and trichloroacetyl chloride.

[0018] During the dehydration reaction, the molar ratio of the raw material (VI) to the dehydrating agent is 1:1-5, preferably 1:1-2.

[0019] The solvent is selected from one or more of halogenated alkane organic matter, aromatic organic matter, nitrile organic matter and DMF, preferably dichloromethane, dichloroethane, chloroform, acetonitrile, toluene or DMF; the amount of the solvent used is 1-10 times the weight of the raw material (VI), preferably 2-5 times.

[0020] The base is one or more of potassium hydroxide, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, triethylamine, pyridine, piperidine, and aniline, preferably triethylamine and / or pyridine; the amount of the base is 2 to 10 times the mole of the raw material (VI), preferably 2-3 times.

[0021] The post-treatment process after the reaction is to add water to quench the reaction, and the alkali and solvent can be recovered and reused.

[0022] The reaction may be further followed by purification by crystallization.

[0023] The solvent used for crystallization is methanol, ethanol, isopropanol or the like or their aqueous solutions, and the preferred solvent is methanol or ethanol.

[0024] The amount of the recrystallization solvent used is 0.5 to 10 times the weight of the intermediate compound, and preferably 1 to 2 times.

[0025] The dehydration system used in the dehydration reaction can be applied in the reaction of preparing nitrile or cyanide from amide.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0027] In the preparation of malononitrile oxime ether compounds and the preparation of acyl nitrile compounds from amide compounds, a specific dehydrating agent is used in the dehydration process, or a specific dehydrating agent is combined with a base, and dehydration is performed under mild conditions to prepare malononitrile oxime ethers, nitriles or cyanide compounds. The dehydration process is simple and does not require special treatment. The desired malononitrile oxime ethers, nitriles or cyanide compounds can be obtained through only one-step reaction. Further,

[0028] 1. The dehydrating agent used in the present invention is a conventional chemical raw material, and its price is roughly within 6,000 yuan / ton, and thus the price is moderate; the present invention uses a specific dehydrating agent and dehydration in the presence of a base to prepare the malononitrile oxime ether compound, and the base acts as an acid binding agent in the reaction.

[0029] 2. The present invention has mild reaction conditions, no high temperature or high pressure reaction, and complete reaction, resulting in fewer reaction by-products and simple equipment, thereby making the yield and content of the product prepared by the present invention high and reducing production costs.

[0030] 3. The amount of three wastes in the present invention is relatively small, and the solvent and alkali can be recycled;

[0031] 4. The present invention has a wide application scope and is not only applicable to the preparation of malononitrile compounds but also to the dehydration of other alkyl or aromatic hydrocarbon amides to prepare nitrile or cyanide compounds. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
