Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of synthesis technology, and specifically, to a method for continuously preparing sulfoxide derivatives by photo-catalytic oxidation in a flowing stream. Background Art
[0002] Oxaziclomefone is a pre-emergence soil herbicide developed by Nippon Soda. Most of the disclosed preparation methods involve the oxidation of the compound of formula 1, and the preparation methods are often complex. Compared with the oxidation of sulfide derivatives to sulfone derivatives, the preparation of sulfoxide derivatives is relatively easy, which also makes it possible to prepare sulfoxide derivatives under mild conditions.
[0003] Chinese Patent CN111393427A discloses a method for preparing oxaziclomefone by oxidizing the compound of formula 1 with hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant and acid and sodium tungstate as the catalysts. This method uses an aqueous oxidant, and after the solvent is recovered, the amount of wastewater is large, which is not conducive to environmental protection. Chinese Patent CN1368965A discloses a method for preparing sulfoxide derivatives with m-chloroperbenzoic acid as the oxidant. The organic peroxide used in this method is expensive, and there is a large amount of m-chlorobenzoic acid after the reaction, which increases the difficulty of post-treatment and is not conducive to industrialization. Chinese Patent CN119143745A discloses a method for preparing oxaziclomefone with ozone as the oxidant, and its equipment and operating costs are relatively high, which is not conducive to industrialization.
[0004] Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a method for continuously preparing sulfoxide derivatives by photo-catalytic oxidation in a flowing stream. The reaction formula is as follows, and the method includes the following steps: Dissolve the compound of formula 1 and a photosensitizer in an organic solvent to obtain a mixed solution; introduce the mixed solution and oxygen into a continuous flow photoreactor, and carry out a photo-catalytic oxidation reaction under the irradiation of LED blue light. After the reaction is completed, the sulfoxide derivative of formula 2 is obtained through post-treatment.
[0006] Optionally, dissolve the compound of formula 1 and a photosensitizer in an organic solvent, and then add an acid to obtain a mixed solution; introduce the mixed solution and oxygen into a continuous flow photoreactor, and carry out a photo-catalytic oxidation reaction under the irradiation of LED blue light. After the reaction is completed, the sulfoxide derivative of formula 2 is obtained through post-treatment.
[0007] The photosensitizer includes one or more combinations of acetophenone, benzophenone, anthraquinone, 2,3-butanedione, and porphyrin derivatives.
[0008] Optionally, the photosensitizer includes one or more combinations of acetophenone, 2,3-butanedione, and porphyrin derivatives.
[0009] Optionally, the porphyrin derivative includes 5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-nitrophenyl)porphyrin.
[0010] The organic solvent includes one or more combinations of alcohols, nitriles, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid esters, and halogenated hydrocarbons.

Under LED blue light irradiation, the photosensitizer absorbs light energy and transitions from the ground state to the excited state. A specific content of the photosensitizer can efficiently transfer electrons to oxygen to generate superoxide anion radicals, while the photosensitizer is oxidized to the photosensitizer cation radical. The addition of a specific acid may help stabilize the active species in the reaction system, promote the reaction, and at the same time, the acid can provide protons to help the superoxide anion radical transform into hydrogen peroxide, or adjust the pH value of the reaction system to reduce the formation of by-products.
[0016] The reaction time of the photocatalytic oxidation reaction is 0.1 - 5 h.
[0017] Optionally, the reaction time of the photocatalytic oxidation reaction is 0.75 - 2 h.

[0025] 5. The present invention adopts a continuous flow preparation method, which strengthens the mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency, has the characteristics of low energy consumption, high raw material utilization rate and environmental friendliness, and can effectively avoid resource waste.
