Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a continuous flow synthesis process of 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine. Background Art
[0002] 2-Chloro-3-aminopyridine is an important pharmaceutical intermediate. Currently, there are mainly the following methods for the continuous preparation of 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine:
[0003] Chinese patent CN 117088807 A discloses a method for preparing 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine. The method adopts a spiral tubular reactor and uses hydrogen peroxide to perform an oxychlorination reaction to prepare 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine. Although this method can improve the yield and purity of the product, the product needs to be completely extracted before it can be used in subsequent reactions because hydrogen peroxide is used as an oxychlorination reagent. In addition, the wastewater contains excessive hydrogen peroxide, which requires additional post-treatment steps.
[0004] Chinese patent CN 110885311 B discloses a method for preparing 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine. The method adopts a multi-stage extraction centrifuge reaction, and sodium hypochlorite is subjected to an oxychlorination reaction to prepare 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine, which can reduce the generation of impurities. However, the process is relatively complicated, and a 4-7-stage extraction centrifuge is used (single-stage reaction time is 3h), and the reaction time is relatively long.
[0005] Chinese patent CN 114716368 B discloses a method for preparing 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine and its hydrochloride. The method adopts a plug flow reactor and directly chlorinates chlorine to prepare 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine. However, the method adopts a three-stream feeding method, and industrialization requires an additional feeding device, which increases investment costs, and the yield is only about 86%.
[0006] Therefore, in order to synthesize 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine more efficiently and economically, it is necessary to develop a new preparation method of 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine that is more suitable for industrial production. Summary of the invention

[0059] The positive improvement effect of the present invention is that compared with the traditional intermittent kettle process, the continuous flow process has the following beneficial effects:
[0060] (1) The present invention adopts a continuous flow process, and successfully solves the gas-liquid heterogeneous mass transfer and heat transfer problems by dividing the functional single temperature zones, setting and optimizing the temperature and, as well as coupling with the heat transfer and mass transfer advantages of the continuous flow, so that 3-aminopyridine can be directly transported to the continuous flow reactor for reaction at one time, and can run smoothly, and the reaction time is greatly shortened;
[0061] (2) The present invention reduces the generation of 2,6-dichloro-3-aminopyridine during the reaction system, greatly shortens the reaction time, and has fewer operating steps, simple operation, and high stability.
[0062] (3) The present invention takes advantage of the fact that continuous flow can conveniently and accurately control the pressure of the reaction system. By increasing the pressure of the reaction system, the solubility of chlorine in the reaction liquid is greatly increased, so that the reaction rate is greatly accelerated and the reaction time is further shortened.
[0063] (4) The present invention can effectively avoid the generation of hot spots in the exothermic reaction and greatly improve the safety of the process.
[0064] (5) The present invention utilizes the plug flow characteristics of continuous flow to greatly reduce the occurrence of backmixing, reduce side reactions, reduce impurities in the crude product, increase yield, and simplify post-processing.
[0065] (6) There is no scale-up effect, that is, the process can still complete the reaction in a relatively short time on an industrial scale, and the product content and yield are basically the same as those on a laboratory scale.
[0066] (7) Compared with the existing continuous flow process, the process equipment of the present application has low cost, fewer operations, and higher conversion rate, and is more suitable for industrial production. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
