Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical industry, and in particular relates to a method for preparing an insecticide ring. Background Art

[0002] Another name for the insecticide ring is Yiweisha, and its chemical name is N,N-dimethyl-1,2,3-trithiacyclohexane-5-amine oxalate, with a molecular weight of 271.26 and a melting point between 125 and 128 degrees Celsius (it will decompose). The insecticide ring is a type of nereis toxin insecticide, which can kill pests by contact (contact killing effect) and can also be toxic after being eaten by pests (stomach poison effect). It also has a certain internal conduction ability and egg-killing effect. In particular, it should be pointed out that the insecticide ring has a good control effect on Lepidoptera and Coleoptera pests. This insecticide is mainly used for the control of rice pests, such as rice stem borer and yellow stem borer. When used, 50% of the soluble powder is usually applied by pouring or spraying with water. In addition, the insecticide ring can be mixed with fast-acting pesticides to improve the effect, but it needs to be used with extreme caution in silkworm breeding areas.

[0003] At present, most domestic manufacturers of insecticide rings use toluene as a solvent. Toluene is a colorless, transparent liquid with an aromatic odor similar to benzene, a flash point of 4°C, and is flammable. However, toluene is a precursor chemical, and during use, toluene is prone to generate and accumulate static electricity due to excessive flow rate, thus causing safety accidents such as flash explosions. Toluene vapor can also spread from low places to far places, and once it encounters a fire source, it may backfire, which poses a great safety risk to personnel at the work site.

[0004] At present, the domestic production process of insecticide ring mainly includes three parts: cyclization reaction, salt formation reaction and solvent recovery. The cyclization reaction includes: first dissolving the measured water and sodium sulfide in the dissolving kettle for use; then adding the measured insecticide, toluene and formaldehyde into the cyclization kettle, and dripping sodium sulfide solution at -10 to 10°C to react to generate cyclization liquid insecticide ring (N,N-dimethyl-1,2,3-dithiacyclohexane-5-amine); after the reaction, the cyclization liquid is layered and washed with water to neutrality, and then dried after water absorption for use. The salt formation reaction includes: adding methanol into the salt formation kettle, and adding oxalic acid for stirring and dissolving; then, adding the above dried cyclization liquid at -5 to 15°C to generate insecticide ring oxalate (N,N-dimethyl-1,2,3-trithiacyclohexane-5-amine oxalate). Solvent recovery includes: the centrifugal mother liquor contains solvents such as toluene and methanol, which can be recovered for reuse through extraction separation and distillation separation in a solvent recovery tower. However, in the cyclization reaction process, the yield improvement of the cyclization reaction using formaldehyde catalysis is relatively limited; in addition, in the process of washing, stratification, water absorption and drying and solvent recovery after the cyclization liquid is generated, the solution will flow, which can easily generate and accumulate static electricity, thereby causing safety accidents such as flash explosions.

[0005] In order to improve the yield of the cyclization reaction, the catalyst can be further screened. At the same time, in order to reduce the above-mentioned accidents, in addition to increasing the static cross-connection on the equipment and facilities, the solvent can also be replaced to completely eliminate the generation and accumulation of static electricity. Therefore, in order to achieve both safe production and economic benefits, it is urgent to find alternative solvents that are more stable, safer, and more economical than toluene, as well as catalysts that can significantly increase the yield of the cyclization reaction, for the preparation of insecticide rings. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, one of the purposes of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing an insecticidal ring, which can ensure safe production while taking into account economic benefits.

[0007] One of the purposes of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0010] (2) adding the insecticide solution obtained in step (1) to the oxalic acid solution, stirring for reaction, and centrifuging to recover the solvent to obtain the insecticide ring.

[0011] Furthermore, the usage ratio of the insecticide, sodium chloride, formaldehyde, ethylene dichloride, sodium thiosulfate and sodium sulfide in step (1) is (23-27) g: (50-70) g: (14-18) g: (160-220) mL: (4-8) g: (11-13) g.

[0012] Furthermore, the mass of the oxalic acid in step (2) is 34% to 41% of the mass of the raw insecticide.

[0013] Furthermore, the stirring reaction in step (1) is carried out at a temperature of -10 to 10°C and for a time of 0.5 to 1.0 h.

[0014] Furthermore, the stirring reaction in step (2) is carried out at a temperature of -5 to 10°C and for a time of 0.5 to 1.0 h.

[0015] Furthermore, in step (2), the temperature of the insecticide solution obtained in step (1) added to the oxalic acid solution is -3 to 2°C.

[0016] Furthermore, the oxalic acid solution in step (2) is a methanol solution of oxalic acid.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The present invention uses dihalogenated hydrocarbon dichloroethane instead of toluene in the prior art as a solvent, thereby avoiding the danger of static electricity generation and accumulation during washing, drying of the cyclization liquid and recovery of the solvent, improving the safety of on-site workers, and reducing production costs and energy consumption, and is suitable for industrial production. In addition, the present invention uses sodium thiosulfate and formaldehyde as a catalyst, thereby increasing the yield of the insecticide ring without affecting the quality of the original drug.
