Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a process for preparing a key intermediate of fluopyram, and in particular to a process for preparing dimethyl [3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]({[2-(trifluoroformyl)benzoyl]amino}methyl)malonate, belonging to the technical field of pesticide chemical industry. Background Art

[0002] Fluopyram is a benzamide fungicide discovered and developed by Bayer and is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor (SDHI). Its chemical name is: N-{2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]ethyl}-2-(trifluoromethyl)benzamide; molecular formula: C 16 H 11 CIF 6 N 2 O; relative molecular mass: 396.76; CAS registration number: 658066-35-4. Fluopyram is an excellent fungicide and nematicide. It has been registered and marketed in more than 60 countries and regions around the world and used for more than 70 crops. Fluopyram has low toxicity and is environmentally friendly.

[0003] [3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]({[2-(trifluoroformyl)benzoyl]amino}methyl)malonate, molecular formula: C 20 H 15 CIF 6 N 2 O 5 ; Relative molecular mass: 512.79; CAS registration number: 895525-76-5, it is a key intermediate in the synthesis of fluopyram, referred to as intermediate compound 1-G, and its chemical structure is as follows:

[0004]

[0005] At present, in actual production, the preparation of the key intermediate of fluopyram [3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl] ({[2-(trifluoroformyl)benzoyl]amino}methyl) dimethyl malonate (intermediate compound 1-G) has the problems of complicated process, low yield, difficult solvent recovery, low product purity, etc. In order to improve market competitiveness, it is necessary to find a preparation process with simple process, high total yield, easy solvent recovery and high product purity. At present, the process methods for preparing the intermediate compound 1-G mainly include the following:

[0006] Route 1: Patent CN108822024 discloses a method for synthesizing an intermediate compound 1-G, including: step 4, adding formamide as a solvent to the hydroxymethylated white solid, heating, dripping acetic anhydride, continuing the reaction after the dripping, cooling to 25°C, and obtaining an esterification product; step 5, adding 5-trifluoromethyl-2-malonic acid dimethyl ester-3-chloropyridine to the esterification product, heating and keeping the reaction for 6 hours, cooling to 25°C, and obtaining a condensation product, which is the intermediate compound 1-G. The total yield of the three-step reaction of step 4, step 5, and step 6 in this route is about 79.3% calculated based on the hydroxymethylated product. In step 4 and step 5, formamide is used as a solvent, and the formamide solvent is difficult to recover. The purity of the intermediate compound 1-G is not reported in this patent.

[0007] Route 2: Patent WO2018114484 discloses that o-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid is used as a raw material, and intermediate B5 is prepared by acylation, amination, hydroxymethylation, and esterification; 2,3-dichloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine and diethyl malonate are used as raw materials for condensation to prepare intermediate B1, and then intermediate B5 and intermediate B1 are condensed to prepare intermediate B6, which is intermediate compound 1-G, and finally hydrolyzed and decarboxylated to obtain fluopyram. In this process route, intermediate B5 and intermediate B1 are condensed at 80°C, and N,N-dimethylacetamide and acetic acid are used as solvents. The conditions for distillation and recovery of N,N-dimethylacetamide are relatively harsh during the actual amplification reaction, and the mixed solvent is also difficult to separate and recover, which is not conducive to large-scale production. After the intermediate B6 mixture is diluted with water, methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) is used for extraction, and MTBE needs to be distilled to remove MTBE later. Intermediate B6 needs to be extracted and purified, and the process is relatively cumbersome. The yield of the last four steps is about 86.5%.

[0008]

[0009] Route 3: Patent CN117003691A, patent name: A method for preparing fluopyram. Use 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridinyl]malonate dimethyl potassium salt, that is, intermediate 1, and N-(chloromethyl)-2-trifluoromethylbenzamide, that is, intermediate 2, in the presence of solvent 3 to react, and after separation, intermediate 3, that is, intermediate compound 1-G, is obtained; then intermediate 3 is neutralized with water in solvent 4, and the base continues to react, and finally the product fluopyram is separated. This route is relatively long, and after the reaction of step 3 is completed, it also includes post-treatment steps: recovering the solvent under reduced pressure, adding an organic solvent and water to the residue, separating the liquids after extraction, washing the organic phase with water, concentrating under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product, and recrystallizing to obtain the intermediate compound 1-G. The process is relatively complicated; at the same time, solvent 3 is N,N-dimethylacetamide and / or dimethyl sulfoxide, which has a high boiling point (over 150°C), is difficult to recover, and has a high recovery cost; the total yield of the two-step reaction of step 4 and step 5 (the last two steps) is about 76.1-79.2%, and the total yield of the route is about 66.9-71.4%.

[0010]

[0011] Route 4: Patent CN116854629A, patent name: A method for preparing fluopyram. 2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridinyl]malonate dimethyl potassium salt, i.e., intermediate 1, and N-(chloromethyl)-2-trifluoromethylbenzamide, i.e., intermediate 3, are reacted in the presence of solvent 4, and intermediate 4, i.e., intermediate compound 1-G, is obtained after separation; then, intermediate 4 is neutralized with water in solvent 5, and the base is further reacted, and finally, the product fluopyram is separated. This route is relatively long, and after the reaction of step 4 is completed, it also includes post-treatment steps: recovering the solvent under reduced pressure, adding an organic solvent and water to the residue, separating the liquids after extraction, washing the organic phase with water, concentrating under reduced pressure to obtain a crude product, and recrystallizing to obtain the intermediate compound 1-G, and the process is relatively complicated; at the same time, solvent 4 is N,N-dimethylacetamide and / or dimethyl sulfoxide, which has a high boiling point (over 150°C), is difficult to recover, and has a high recovery cost; at the same time, the total yield of the two-step reaction of step 4 and step 5 (the last two steps) is about 80.5-80.9%, and the total yield of the route is about 68.2-70.9%.

[0012]

[0013] Based on the above reasons, there is an urgent need for a process for preparing the key intermediate [3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl]({[2-(trifluoroformyl)benzoyl]amino}methyl)malonate (intermediate compound 1-G) of fluopyram, so as to solve the problems of complicated process, low yield, difficult solvent recovery, low product purity, etc. in the preparation of the intermediate compound, and improve market competitiveness.

[0053] A process for preparing a key intermediate of fluopyram, wherein comparative examples 1 to 6 differ from example 3 only in the process parameters of the process, and other conditions are the same. The specific differences are shown in Table 3.

[0054] Table 3. Preparation method parameter table of comparative examples 1 to 6

[0055]

[0056] The samples at each sampling point and the products obtained in Comparative Examples 1 to 6 were subjected to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) purity and molar yield calculations. The results are shown in Table 4.

[0058]

[0059] In combination with Examples 1 to 8, the data of Comparative Examples 1 to 6 and Tables 1, 2, 3 and 4 show that solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, 1,2-dichloroethane, formamide and acetic acid have relatively poor effects in the process method.

By using the process method of the present invention, the reaction effects of different solvents are compared. When the preferred acetate solvent of the present invention is selected, the reaction effect is significantly better than that of N,N-dimethylacetamide, N-methylpyrrolidone, 1,2-dichloroethane, formamide and acetic acid. By using the process method of the present invention, the reaction effect of the preferred acetate solvent of the present invention is also better than that of other ester solvents such as n-butyl acetate.
