Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, specifically relating to a synthesis process for a safer antidote, quinine. Background Technology

[0002] Quizalofop-P-ethyl, also known as quizalofop-P-ethyl, has the chemical name 1-methylhexyl-(5-chloro-8-quinolinoxy)acetate. Quizalofop-P-ethyl was first discovered by J. Amrein et al., and later marketed by Syngenta, primarily used as a safener for the herbicide quizalofop-P-ethyl. When mixed with quizalofop-P-ethyl in a certain proportion, it is applied to cereal crops and provides excellent control of grassy weeds such as sage, wild oat, wild oat, ryegrass, Kentucky bluegrass, and foxtail grass.

[0003] Currently, the main synthetic processes for antidote quinolone include the following:

[0004] Patent CN103193706A discloses a method for synthesizing anti-toxic quinone by condensing methyl chloroacetate with 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline to generate the intermediate methyl 5-chloro-8-quinolineoxyacetate, followed by transesterification with 2-heptanol. However, this method requires high temperatures for synthesizing the intermediate and uses excessive 2-heptanol, which is difficult to remove during post-processing, thus affecting product quality. The process conditions are demanding and the operation is cumbersome.

[0005] Patent CN105001158A discloses a method for synthesizing anti-toxic quinoline from 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline and chloroacetic acid-2-heptyl ester using 4-methyl-2-pentanone as both a reaction solvent and a recrystallization solvent. However, this method involves high reaction temperatures, long reaction times, and the generation of moisture in the system, which easily degrades 4-methyl-2-pentanone and chloroacetic acid-2-heptyl ester, affecting product quality. Furthermore, it results in significant solvent loss, difficult waste treatment, and increased production costs.

[0006] Patents CN1568314A and CN103930402A both disclose a method for preparing antidote quinoline by reacting 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline with an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide in N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP), followed by reflux of toluene to remove excess water, and then adding potassium carbonate and 2-heptyl chloroacetate to react. The disadvantages of this reaction are high temperature, cumbersome operation, and long reaction cycle; the mixed solvent of toluene and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) results in a variety of wastes that are difficult to treat, low product content, and poor properties; and high equipment requirements and production costs.

[0007] Patent CN113461610A discloses a method of salting 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline with potassium carbonate and sodium carbonate in dimethyl sulfoxide, then removing excess water with toluene, followed by the addition of methyl chloroacetate to generate methyl 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinolineoxyacetate, which then undergoes an transesterification reaction with 2-heptanol to generate detoxifying quinoline. However, this method cannot achieve one-step preparation of the target product. The resulting mixed solvent of toluene and dimethyl sulfoxide is difficult to handle; it also suffers from problems such as difficulty in separating the mixed sodium and potassium salts and difficulty in controlling water entrainment; the synthesis temperature of the intermediate is high, and the use of excessive 2-heptanol requires high-temperature desolventizing and separation, resulting in low product content, poor properties, and high cost, which also increases the difficulty of industrial production.

[0008] Patents CN113135851A and CN113123431A both disclose a method of forming a salt of 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinoline and potassium carbonate in N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), followed by the addition of methyl chloroacetate to generate methyl 5-chloro-8-hydroxyquinolineoxyacetate, which then undergoes an transesterification reaction with 2-heptanol to generate detoxifying quinone. However, this method cannot achieve one-step preparation of the target product. The synthesis intermediates require high temperatures and excessive 2-heptanol, necessitating high-temperature solvent removal and separation, resulting in poor product content and properties, and difficulty in solvent recovery. Furthermore, it generates ammonia nitrogen wastewater and waste gas, which are difficult to treat, leading to high production costs and long production cycles, making it unsuitable for the industrial production of detoxifying quinone.

[0009] Therefore, the key to achieving the further large-scale and economical production of the safety agent detoxifying quinine lies in solving the problems of harsh reaction conditions, cumbersome operation, excessive waste and difficulty in treatment, high equipment requirements and production costs in the existing technology.
