Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of organic synthesis, and in particular to a method for synthesizing 3-chloro-2-aminoethyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine. Background Art

[0002] Fluopyram is a benzamide fungicide containing a pyridine structure developed by Bayer. Fluopyram has a broad fungicide spectrum and can be applied to a variety of diseases of more than 70 crops, such as vegetables, pears and stone fruits, grapes and field crops. It can treat a variety of diseases caused by Sclerotinia, Mycelium, powdery mildew and Botrytis cinerea. It is a fungicide with low toxicity, high efficacy, strong systemicity and environmental friendliness. Due to the advantages of safety, low dosage and long lasting effect, fluopyram has great development potential in the pesticide market in the future.

[0003] 3-Chloro-2-aminoethyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine is an important intermediate for the synthesis of fluopyram. At present, domestic manufacturers have not reported a more mature fluopyram preparation technology. There are two main synthetic routes for 3-chloro-2-aminoethyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine reported in the literature. For example, E Fodor et al. studied a method of obtaining the target product by condensing 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl] diethyl malonate with 2-(chloromethyl)isoindoline-1,3-dione, decarboxylating, and hydrazinolysis. The raw material 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl] diethyl malonate is prepared from 2,3-dichloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine and diethyl malonate. This method of synthesizing primary amines through Gabriel has the main disadvantages of long route and low yield (RevueRoumaine De Chimie, 2010, 55(9): 559-564).

[0004] Another method is to obtain the intermediate 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]acetonitrile by substitution and hydrolysis with methyl cyanoacetate or ethyl cyanoacetate, and finally obtain 3-chloro-2-aminoethyl-5-trifluoromethylpyridine by palladium-carbon catalytic hydrogenation (WO 2015071230, EP 1674455). Since 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]acetonitrile is easy to generate secondary amines or tertiary amines as byproducts during the hydrogenation reduction process, the chlorine on the pyridine ring is also easy to be hydrogenolyzed, resulting in low selectivity of the reduction reaction.

[0005] With the increasing market demand and the increasing requirements for environmental protection, the above-mentioned existing preparation methods of 2,3-dichloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine have the disadvantages of low preparation efficiency, large waste of resources, and complicated post-processing procedures.
