Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of organic synthesis, specifically relating to a method for synthesizing 2-chloro-3-hydrazinopyridine. Background Technology

[0002] 2-Chloro-3-hydrazinopyridine, with the following structural formula: It is an important organic synthesis intermediate, whose molecular structure simultaneously contains chlorine atoms, hydrazine groups, and a pyridine ring. It exhibits high reactivity and can be used to synthesize a variety of biologically active compounds, such as nucleic acids, certain vitamins, antibiotics, hormones, pigments, and alkaloids. Furthermore, it can be used to synthesize a wide variety of heterocyclic compounds with diverse properties, showing broad application prospects in pharmaceuticals, pesticides, herbicides, dyes, and plastics.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for synthesizing 2-chloro-3-hydrazinopyridine are as follows:

[0004] 1) 2-Chloro-3-aminopyridine method: 2-Chloro-3-aminopyridine is used as a raw material, reacting with sodium nitrite to form a diazonium salt, which is then reacted with hydrazine hydrate to form 2-chloro-3-hydrazinopyridine. As disclosed in WO2014182033A1: A mixture of 3-amino-2-chloropyridine and purified water is cooled to below 15°C with stirring. While maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture below 25°C, hydrochloric acid is added dropwise. The reaction mixture is stirred for 30 minutes, then cooled to below -15°C. While maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture below -5°C, a solution of sodium nitrite in water is added dropwise, reacting to obtain 2-chloro-3-aminopyridine. However, the yield of the above method is low. The reaction formula is:

[0005] 2) 2-Chloro-3-halopyridine method: 2-Chloro-3-halopyridine is used as a raw material and reacted with hydrazine hydrate to produce 2-chloro-3-hydrazinopyridine. However, this method contains multiple halogen atoms, resulting in poor reaction selectivity and a large number of byproducts.

[0006] In view of the many problems existing in the current technology, there is an urgent need to develop a new synthetic method for 2-chloro-3-hydrazinopyridine. Summary of the Invention
