Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical synthesis, specifically to a method for preparing 2-chloro-6-mercaptobenzoic acid. Background Technology
[0002] 2-Chloro-6-mercaptobenzoic acid (CAS: 20324-51-0) is an extremely important pharmaceutical and pesticide intermediate. It can be used to synthesize a variety of industrial reagents, such as for the production of the herbicide pyrithiobacodium. It is chemically stable and has a wide range of applications.
[0003] The key steps in synthesizing 2-chloro-6-mercaptobenzoic acid lie in the selective introduction of the thiol group and the scale-up of the process. Existing technologies, such as CN103360288A, disclose a method for preparing 6-chloro-2-mercaptobenzoic acid, which achieves a yield of up to 88% in water through a two-step process of thiolation and hydrolysis. However, this synthesis process is energy-intensive, requiring high-temperature and high-pressure reaction conditions and wasting a significant amount of water resources. Furthermore, existing technologies also disclose a process for preparing 2-chloro-6-mercaptobenzoic acid from 2-chloro-6-aminobenzoic acid via diazotization and sulfidation reactions. This process suffers from high substrate costs, demanding reaction conditions, and unstable diazotization intermediates, making it unsuitable for industrial-scale production.

[0043] The present invention is further illustrated below by way of embodiments, but the invention is not limited to the scope of the embodiments described herein. Experimental methods in the following embodiments that do not specify specific conditions were performed according to conventional methods and conditions, or as selected according to the product instructions.
[0044] In this invention, reagents, ligands and intermediates for which no preparation method is given are all purchased from commercial sources, such as Sinopharm Reagent, Aladdin Reagent and Bailingwei Technology Co., Ltd.
[0045] Example 1: Compound 1 (10 mol, 1.72 kg) was mixed with 1 L of concentrated sulfuric acid and 1 L of water, and heated with stirring at 60°C for 1.5 hours. The reaction was monitored by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) until completion. The mixture was poured in portions into 60 L of water containing crushed ice, filtered, dried, and the filtrate was recovered and reused. A nearly white solid precipitate was obtained (9.32 mol, 1.78 kg, yield 93.2%). 1H-NMR (DMSO-d6, 300 MHz, ppm): 13.81 (br,1H), 7.65(t,1H), 7.18-7.24 (m, 2H).
[0046] Example 2: ;Will (0.05 mmol, 11.2 mg) and Xphos (2-dicyclohexylphosphino-2',4',6'-triisopropylbiphenyl, 0.15 mmol, 71.5 mg) were mixed, vacuumed, and backfilled three times with argon. Then tert-butanol (4 mL) / toluene (6 mL) and water (180 μL) were added; then compound 2 (0.5 mmol, 94.98 mg) and sodium thiosulfate were added. (0.63 mmol, 100 mg) and cesium carbonate (1 mmol, 325.8 mg) were mixed and stirred at 80°C for 8 hours. The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with 5 mL of diethyl ether. The solid was added to zinc powder (7.6 mmol, 0.5 g) and hydrochloric acid (10%, 5 mL), and stirred for 1 hour under ice water cooling. Chloroform was added for extraction, and the mixture was washed successively with 5 mL of water and saturated brine. The product was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and cooled to give solid product 3 (0.2 mmol, 37.59 mg, 40% yield). 1 H-NMR (DMSO, 400 MHz,) 14.01(s,1H), 7.98 (d, J= 2.4 Hz 1H), 7.65 (dd J=8.7,2.Hz 1H), 7.60 (d,J= 8.7 Hz 1H).
[0047] Example 3: The same reaction conditions as in Example 2 were used, with the only difference being... Different dosages are used, with the catalyst system being: A mixture prepared with Xphos at a molar ratio of 1:3. The initial dosage and test results are shown in Table 1.
[0048] Table 1:
[0049] As shown in Table 1 and the experimental results of Example 2, although increasing the amount of Pd catalyst can improve the reaction conversion rate, the overall yield still does not exceed 50%; it can be seen that when The optimal overall reaction is achieved when the amount used is 0.1 equivalent of compound 2.
[0050] Example 4: [The sentence is incomplete and requires more context to be translated accurately.] Compound 2 (0.05 mmol, 11.2 mg) and Xphos (0.15 mmol, 71.5 mg) were mixed, evacuated, and backfilled three times with argon. Then, tert-butanol (4 mL) / toluene (6 mL) and water (180 μL) were added. Then, compound 2 (0.5 mmol, 94.98 mg) and sodium thiosulfate were added. A mixture of zinc powder (0.63 mmol, 100 mg) and cesium carbonate (1 mmol, 325.8 mg) was reacted under the conditions shown in Table 2 below, and the reaction was monitored until completion. The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with 5 mL of diethyl ether. The solid was added to zinc powder (7.6 mmol, 0.5 g) and hydrochloric acid (10%, 5 mL), and stirred for 1 hour under ice water cooling. The mixture was then extracted with chloroform, washed successively with 5 mL of water and saturated brine, dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate, and cooled to obtain the product. The yield was calculated, as shown in Table 2.
[0051] Table 2:
[0052] Table 2 shows that when the temperature is below 50°C, the reaction is incomplete within an 8-hour timeframe. However, when the temperature is not less than 60°C, the reaction is complete within the 8-hour reaction timeframe. Surprisingly, the reaction could not proceed under microwave conditions. These experimental results indicate that when the reaction temperature is above 60°C, temperature has no significant effect on the reaction yield. Therefore, the optimal reaction conditions are between 60-120°C, and more preferably between 60-80°C.
[0053] Example 5: [The sentence is incomplete and requires more context to be translated accurately.] Compound 2 (0.05 mmol, 11.2 mg) and Xphos (0.15 mmol, 71.5 mg) were mixed, evacuated, and backfilled three times with argon. Then, tert-butanol (4 mL) and toluene (6 mL) were added, followed by compound 2 (0.5 mmol, 94.98 mg) and sodium thiosulfate. (0.63 mmol, 100 mg), cesium carbonate (1 mmol, 325.8 mg), and water as shown in Table 3 were mixed. The mixture was evacuated and backfilled three times with argon gas. The reaction was stirred at 80°C, and the reaction was monitored until completion. The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with 5 mL of diethyl ether. The solid was added to zinc powder (7.6 mmol, 0.5 g) and hydrochloric acid (10%, 5 mL). The mixture was stirred for 1 hour under ice water cooling. Chloroform was added for extraction, and the mixture was washed successively with 5 mL of water and saturated brine. The product was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and cooled to obtain the product. The yield was calculated, as shown in Table 3.
[0054] Table 3:
[0055] As shown in Table 3, the reaction proceeds smoothly when the water content in the reaction system is greater than 5 mmol. Since the solvent usually contains water, the reaction can usually proceed normally without the addition of additional water.
[0056] Example 6: [The sentence is incomplete and requires more context to be translated accurately.] (0.05 mmol, 11.2 mg) and the ligand shown in Table 4 below (0.15 mmol, 71.5 mg) were mixed, vacuumed, and backfilled three times with argon. Then tert-butanol (4 mL) / toluene (6 mL) and water (180 μL) were added; then compound 2 (0.5 mmol, 94.98 mg) and sodium thiosulfate were added. Mix 0.63 mmol (100 mg) of zinc powder and cesium carbonate (1 mmol, 325.8 mg), evacuate and backfill with argon three times, and stir at 80°C. Filter, wash the filter cake with 5 mL of diethyl ether, add the solid to zinc powder (7.6 mmol, 0.5 g) and hydrochloric acid (10%, 5 mL), stir for 1 hour under ice water cooling, extract with chloroform, wash successively with 5 mL of water and saturated brine, dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, cool to obtain the product, and calculate the yield, as shown in Table 4.
[0057] Table 4:
[0058] As shown in Table 4, replacing the ligand with dppf increased the reaction yield to over 80%.
[0059] Example 7: [The sentence is incomplete and requires more context to be translated accurately.] (0.05 mmol, 11.2 mg) and dppf (0.06 mmol, 33.3 mg) were mixed, then tert-butanol (4 mL) / toluene (6 mL) were added, followed by water (180 μL); then compound 2 (0.5 mmol, 94.98 mg) and sodium thiosulfate were added. Mix (0.63 mmol, 100 mg) of the base (1 mmol) shown in Table 5 below, evacuate and backfill with argon three times, and stir at 80°C for 24 hours. Filter, wash the filter cake with 5 mL of diethyl ether, add the solid to zinc powder (7.6 mmol, 0.5 g) and hydrochloric acid (10%, 5 mL), stir for 1 hour under ice water cooling, extract with chloroform, wash successively with 5 mL of water and saturated brine, dry with anhydrous sodium sulfate, and cool to obtain the product, as shown in Table 5 below.
[0060] Table 5:
[0061] As shown in Table 5, the K2CO3 reaction conditions are optimal.
[0062] Example 8: [The sentence is incomplete and requires more context to be translated accurately.] The compound (0.05 mmol, 11.2 mg) and dppf (0.06 mmol, 33.3 mg) were mixed and then added to 10 mL of the solvent listed in Table 6 below, followed by 180 μL of water. Then, compound 2 (0.5 mmol, 94.98 mg) and sodium thiosulfate were added. (0.63 mmol, 100 mg) of zinc powder and (1 mmol, 106 mg) of sodium carbonate were mixed and stirred at 80°C for 24 hours. The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with 5 mL of diethyl ether. The solid was added to zinc powder (7.6 mmol, 0.5 g) and hydrochloric acid (10%, 5 mL), and stirred for 1 hour under ice water cooling. Chloroform was added for extraction, and the mixture was washed successively with 5 mL of water and saturated brine. The product was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and cooled to obtain the product, as shown in Table 6.
[0063] Table 6:
[0064] As shown in Table 6, the mixed solvent system is more suitable for this reaction, which may be related to the mass and heat transfer characteristics of the reaction system. Choosing an alcohol / aromatic solvent is more conducive to the reaction.
[0065] Application Example 1: .
[0066] Step 1: Mix compound 1 (10 mol, 1.72 kg) with 1 L concentrated sulfuric acid and 1 L water, stir and heat at 60°C for 1.5 hours, and monitor the reaction for completion by thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Pour the mixture into 2 L of water containing crushed ice in portions, filter and dry, recover the filtrate for reuse, and obtain compound 2.
[0067] Step 2: (1 mol, 224 g) and dppf (1.2 mol, 665.3 g) were mixed, evacuated, and backfilled three times with argon gas. Then, tert-butanol (1.6 L) / toluene (2.4 L) was added, followed by water (20 mol, 360 g), and then mixed with compound 2 obtained in step 1. Sodium thiosulfate was added. 12.7 mol (2 kg) of zinc powder and 20 mol (2.1 kg) of potassium carbonate were mixed, and the mixture was evacuated and backfilled three times with argon gas. The mixture was stirred at 80°C and the reaction was monitored until completion. The mixture was filtered, and the filter cake was washed with 100 L of diethyl ether. The solid was added to zinc powder (15 mol, 980 g) and hydrochloric acid (10%, 1 L). The mixture was stirred under ice water cooling, extracted with chloroform, and washed successively with 10 L of water and saturated brine. The mixture was dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate and cooled to give 1.78 kg of a pale yellow product. The two-step yield was approximately 93.35%.
[0068] Surprisingly, the overall yield of compound 3 from compound 1 was higher when the process was scaled up using a one-pot method than when it was performed stepwise. This is likely due to the one-pot method reducing losses by eliminating the need to separate intermediates. Therefore, the method described in this invention can produce compound 3 in large quantities.
