Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organic chemical industry, and in particular to a method for preparing 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid. Background Art

[0002] 2,4,5-Trifluorophenylacetic acid is an important intermediate for the synthesis of sitagliptin. The methods reported in the literature are mainly as follows:

[0003] a. After 2,4,5-trifluorobromobenzene is made into a Grignard reagent, it is coupled with allyl bromide, and then the double bond is oxidized to obtain 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid; US Patent No. 6870067 discloses a method for synthesizing trifluoropropylacetic acid, in which 2,4,5-trifluorobromobenzene is made into a Grignard reagent, reacted with allyl bromide, and then oxidized with periodic acid under the catalysis of ruthenium trichloride to obtain 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid. However, the Grignard reaction in this method often uses low-boiling volatile solvents such as ether, which are prone to explosion, poor production safety, unstable Grignard reagents, low product yields, and the catalyst ruthenium trichloride and oxidant periodic acid used are expensive, which is not suitable for industrial production.

[0004] b. 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene is chloromethylated to obtain 2,4,5-trifluorobenzyl chloride, which is then reacted with carbon dioxide to obtain 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid. Chinese patent CN101092345 discloses a method for preparing 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid, which uses 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene as a raw material, firstly undergoes a chloromethylation reaction to obtain 2,4,5-trifluorobenzyl chloride, which is then reacted with carbon monoxide under the action of a catalyst to obtain 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid. This method still has the disadvantage of producing more three wastes from the chloromethylation.

[0005] c. 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene was used as the raw material to prepare 2,4,5-trifluorobenzene through chloromethylation reaction of polyformaldehyde / zinc chloride / hydrochloric acid, and then directly carbonylated with CO / methanol / NaOH using sodium cobalt tetracarbonyl as the catalyst to obtain 2,4,5-trifluorobenzoic acid. The literature "Synthesis of 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid, 2011, 18 (3): 4-6" reported that 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene was used as the raw material to prepare 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid through chloromethylation, carbonylation and hydrolysis. When synthesizing 2,4,5-trifluorobenzyl chloride, m(C6H3F3):m(polyformaldehyde)=1.0:0.875~0.865, and the reaction time was 10 h; when synthesizing 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid, m(C7H4F3Cl):m(cat)=1:0.275~0.25, and the reaction temperature was 40℃. Under these conditions, the total yield of the product is above 60%, and the mass fraction of 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid is above 99%. The chloromethylation reaction of this method is highly corrosive, seriously polluting, and has a low yield. The catalyst for the carbonylation reaction, sodium cobalt tetracarbonyl, is expensive and difficult to obtain. The catalyst and CO are highly toxic, and pressurized equipment is required, which has certain industrialization difficulties.

[0006] d. Chinese patent CN116730824B discloses a method for synthesizing 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid, comprising mixing 1,2,4-trifluorobenzene and a catalyst AlCl3, adding ethylene oxide liquid dropwise at 5°C, and heating to carry out Friedel-Crafts alkylation to obtain 2,4,5-trifluorophenylethanol; reacting 2,4,5-trifluorophenylethanol with hydrogen peroxide under the catalysis of sodium molybdate to obtain an oxidation product 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid; filtering the 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid, adding it to a sodium hydroxide solution, keeping the temperature and stirring, cooling and standing, separating the liquids, adjusting the acid, converting sodium trifluorophenylacetate into its free acid, and then crystallizing, filtering, and drying to obtain a 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid solid. However, ethylene oxide is flammable, explosive, toxic and has poor safety. At the same time, the temperature of the Friedel-Crafts reaction is 100-120°C, the reaction conditions are more stringent, and the impurity selectivity of the multi-substituted Friedel-Crafts alkylation is higher, resulting in more impurities in the product. In addition, sodium aluminate is used as a catalyst, which has poor safety.

[0007] In summary, the current preparation method of 2,4,5-trifluorophenylacetic acid has the following problems: 1. The prepared intermediate Grignard reagent is unstable, and the yield of the final product is basically around 60%, the reaction yield is low, and the raw materials used, such as the catalyst ruthenium trichloride and the oxidant periodic acid, are expensive. 2. The chloromethylation process is highly corrosive and there are many wastes, etc., based on the purpose of improving the reaction yield, reducing production costs, and being environmentally friendly.
