Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of organic synthesis, and particularly relates to a preparation method of substituted trifluoroethyl sulfide aniline. Background Art

[0002] There are many types of harmful mites in agriculture, with more than 30,000 known species. Pest mites are tiny and attach to leaves to suck juice, causing the leaves to curl up, wither and fall off at best, or even a decrease in agricultural product yields at worst. Chemical control is an important means of controlling harmful mites. However, due to the long-term unscientific use of existing miticides, harmful mites have developed serious resistance to many existing agents. Therefore, it is urgent to develop new and efficient miticides, and the market prospects for miticides are broad.

[0003] Trifluoroethyl sulfide (sulfoxide) compounds are a new type of compound with good acaricidal activity. Many companies and scientific research institutions have conducted research on this basis and found that many compounds have excellent acaricidal activity. For example, Zhang Lixin's research group at Shenyang University of Chemical Technology introduced compound 1 in the paper "Design, Synthesis and Acaricidal Activity Research of Trifluoroethyl Sulfide (Sulfoxide) Compounds" reported in 2019, which has good acaricidal activity. Hailier Pharmaceutical Group Co., Ltd. reported in the patent CN114605297A that compound 2 also has very high acaricidal activity. In Example 2 of CN114957062A, if dichlorothionyl is not added, sulfonic acid derivatives will be generated as byproducts, affecting the yield and being difficult to purify, and the intermediate purity is low, affecting subsequent reactions; in Example 3, glacial acetic acid is used as a solvent, and glacial acetic acid has a pungent smell. The odor problem when used in large quantities is an important environmental hazard; and glacial acetic acid has a low freezing point, and it is easy to solidify and precipitate during the production condensation process, causing safety accidents.

[0004]

[0005] In the above study, intermediate 3 is the key intermediate.

[0006] In public reports, intermediate 3 is obtained by the following synthetic route:

[0007]

[0008] However, in this synthetic route, the starting material 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline is expensive and not suitable for industrial promotion and application.

[0009] The synthesis of 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline is difficult, and the following synthesis methods are reported in public:

[0010] Teacher Xu Danqian from Zhejiang University of Technology reported a route for synthesizing 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline from p-methylaniline in Chem. Commun., 2019, 55, 14458-14461 and the patent "A method for synthesizing 2-fluoroaniline compounds (CN109704987B)". This route requires the synthesis of unstable nitroso compounds first, then condensation to obtain diaryl diimine, and then under palladium catalysis, directing fluorine to the ortho position, and finally obtaining the product under reduction conditions. However, this route: a) The route is lengthy. Starting from p-methylaniline, four steps of reaction are required to obtain 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline; b) Due to the poor stability of nitroso compounds and the easy occurrence of self-condensation reactions, the reaction yield is low; c) Due to the use of large-group trimethylaniline as a protecting group, it needs to be removed after the reaction, resulting in low atom economy; d) The use of precious metal palladium catalysts has high synthesis costs.

[0011]

[0012] B. Langlois et al. (J Fluorine Chem, 2005, 126, pp. 661-667) reported a method for synthesizing 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline by direct electrophilic fluorination of aromatic groups on p-toluidine using fluorine gas. The method is simple and direct. However, the following aspects are mentioned in this route: a) fluorine gas has high activity but poor selectivity, with at least four products; b) the main product is 3-fluoro-4-methylaniline, and the yield of the target product is low; c) fluorine gas is dangerous and difficult to operate during use.

[0013]

[0014] Tomcufcik et al. reported a route for synthesizing 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline by nitration and reduction of m-fluorotoluene in J.Org.Chem.1961,26,9,3351–3356. However, this route: a) has poor nitration selectivity, with the main product being the byproduct 4-fluoro-2-methyl-nitrobenzene, and only 5% of the target product; b) although the byproduct 4-fluoro-2-methyl-nitrobenzene can be converted into the desired 2-fluoro-4-methyl-nitrobenzene through four steps of conversion, such as reduction of the nitro group to the amino group, re-nitration, reaction with sodium nitrite to obtain diazotization and re-reduction, the overall route is lengthy and the yield is low.

[0015]

[0016] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a process route for synthesizing 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline intermediates and intermediate 3 using industrially scalable products as starting materials in a more economical and efficient manner. Summary of the invention

[0017] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art described above, the present invention aims to provide a new method for preparing substituted trifluoroethyl sulfide aniline, starting from p-toluidine which is industrializable, cheap and readily available, by protecting the amino group with an acetyl group and selectively fluorinating the benzene ring with an electrophilic fluorine reagent, the same intermediate as publicly reported can be obtained, and then the desired substituted trifluoroethyl sulfide aniline intermediate can be obtained by sulfonation with chlorosulfonic acid, reduction and alkylation, and finally deprotection. Starting from p-toluidine, a key 2-fluoro-4-methyl-5-((2,2,2-trifluoroethyl)thio)aniline intermediate is synthesized through 6 steps of reaction, and the method has the advantages of high yield, easy purification and simple route; using cheap and readily available reagents, starting from cheap and readily available p-toluidine, overcoming the problem that the raw material 2-fluoro-4-methylaniline is expensive and difficult to purchase in large quantities, and realizing a substantial reduction in cost; the route is not only suitable for preparing the desired fluorinated product, but also suitable for preparing the desired bromo or chloro product, and is suitable for large-scale industrial production.

[0018] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose and other related purposes, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a method for preparing substituted trifluoroethyl sulfide aniline, which is as follows:

The compound of formula III is reacted with a compound containing a trifluoroethyl group to obtain a compound of formula II, which is then deacylated to obtain a compound of formula I.

[0024] Furthermore, the sulfonylating agent is a mixture of chlorosulfonic acid or fuming sulfuric acid and thionyl chloride, and the reaction temperature of the compound of formula V and the sulfonylating agent is 50-80°C.

[0025] Furthermore, the reducing agent is a mixture of zinc powder, magnesium powder or iron powder and glacial acetic acid, dilute hydrochloric acid or dilute sulfuric acid, and the reaction temperature of the compound of formula IV and the reducing agent is 100-150°C.

[0026] Furthermore, the compound containing a trifluoroethyl group is any one or more of 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl trifluoromethanesulfonate, 2-iodo-1,1,1-trifluoroethane, 2-bromo-1,1,1-trifluoroethane or 2-chloro-1,1,1-trifluoroethane; the compound of formula III is reacted with the compound containing a trifluoroethyl group in acetonitrile as a solvent and potassium carbonate is added, and the reaction temperature is room temperature.

[0027] Further, in Formulas I to VII, R1 is methyl or ethyl, R2 is methyl or ethyl, and X is F, Cl or CN;

[0028] Furthermore, R1 is methyl, R2 is methyl, and X is F.

[0029] Furthermore, the deacylation reaction is carried out in a mixture of ethanol and water as a solvent.

[0030] Furthermore, the deacylation protection is specifically as follows: adding concentrated hydrochloric acid, heating to 70-90° C. for reaction, and adjusting the pH to neutral with an alkaline reagent after the reaction is complete.

[0031] Furthermore, the mixture of ethanol and water is a mixture with a volume ratio of 5:1.
