TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of pesticide synthesis, in particular to a preparation method for improving the purity of 3-dichloromethyl-1-substituted pyrazole compounds. BACKGROUND
[0002] 3-dichloromethyl-1-substituted pyrazole compounds are a class of organic compounds with specific structures and potential application value, and have biological activities such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antitumor activities.
[0003] Some derivatives have been applied to the synthesis routes of various important products, such as 3-dichloromethyl-1H-methyl pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, the English name of which is 3-(dichloromethyl)-1-methyl-1H-pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester; the molecular weight is 237.08; the CAS is 851725-87-6; and the structural formula is as shown below. The compound is an important intermediate of a fungicide (Bixafen) developed by Bayer Company, a fungicide (Fluxapyroxad) developed by BASF Company, and a fungicide (Isopyrazam) developed by Syngenta Company. Pyrazole amide fungicides are an important new type of fungicide, and relevant products have been put on the market, which has become a new hotspot for the development of fungicides.
[0004] The patent document with the publication number US20060252944A1 discloses a preparation method of 3-dichloromethyl-1H-methyl pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester, in which, under alkaline conditions, dichloroacetyl chloride and dimethylamino acrylate are used as raw materials, a reaction is performed to generate 2-(dichloroacetyl)-3-(dimethylamino) acrylate, and then a cyclization is performed with a hydrazine compound under low-temperature conditions to obtain a crude product, wherein the proportion of the main product 3-dichloromethyl-1H-methyl pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester and the by-product 5-dichloromethyl-1H-methyl pyrazole-4-carboxylic acid ethyl ester is 93.8:6.2, and such a high proportion of isomers poses great challenges to product yield and purification. At present, the post-treatment method of the condensation step reported by the patent using this process route is generally to dissolve with water, remove the aqueous phase by layering, or use a filtration scheme to remove the acid-binding agent hydrogen halide salt, but the treatment scheme of brine or waste salt is not mentioned.
[0005] Patent document WO2012176717A1 discloses a preparation method of pyrazole compounds, which uses dihaloacetyl halide and 3-dialkylamino acrylate as raw materials to generate intermediate 2-dihaloacetyl-3-dialkylamino acrylate, and only needs to add inorganic base to the system to directly perform cyclization reaction without removing acid-binding agent hydrogen halide salt in the system, so that high-selectivity target product can be obtained. This method solves the problem of isomers to some extent, but the free acid-binding agent (triethylamine) is mostly dissolved in water phase, and the basicity of the basic co-solvent formed by the triethylamine and aprotic solvent is not enough, so the best effect cannot be achieved, and when two halogens are both replaced by chlorine, if triethylamine is used as the acid-binding agent, the strong basicity of the triethylamine will cause dihaloacetyl chloride to be unstable and easy to generate enone structure, so the single-step yield of the condensation reaction is lower than 50%.
[0006] Chinese patent document CN102718712A discloses a preparation method of 3-polyhalomethyl-1H-methyl pyrazole-4-nitrile, which comprises: adding dihaloacetyl halide and polyhaloacetyl chloride to generate 2-polyhaloacyl-3-dialkylamino acrylate, and then performing cyclization reaction with methyl hydrazine to obtain 3-polyhalomethyl-1H-methyl pyrazole-4-nitrile, but the 3-polyhalomethyl-1H-methyl pyrazole-4-nitrile obtained still contains isomers substituted at position 5, and the yield is low.
[0007] The existing methods cannot completely solve the problem of impurities of isomers 5-dichloromethyl-1H-substituted pyrazole compounds, and further purification is needed to obtain qualified 3-dichloromethyl-1H-substituted pyrazole compounds. Since the isomers cannot be easily removed from the product, although the purification step is increased, the product quality cannot be completely guaranteed, and the production cost is also increased. Therefore, it is urgent to find a preparation method for improving the purity and yield of 3-dichloromethyl-1-substituted pyrazole compounds. SUMMARY
[0008] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a preparation method for improving the purity of 3-dichloromethyl-1-substituted pyrazole compounds, which uses an organic nitrogen-containing weak base with pKa<7 as an acid-binding agent, and adds a free step after the condensation reaction to introduce dialkylamine to make the hydrogen halide salt of the organic nitrogen-containing weak base become free organic nitrogen-containing weak base, and form a basic co-solvent with water-insoluble aprotic solvent 1, thereby increasing the solubility of 2-dichloroacetyl-3-(dialkylamino) acrylate under low temperature conditions, improving the reaction speed and regioselectivity of the cyclization reaction, and obtaining a product with high content by the cyclization reaction, so that the isomers are completely controlled and further purification is not needed, and the total yield of the three steps of condensation, free and cyclization can reach more than 95%.
[0009] A preparation method for improving the purity of 3-dichloromethyl-1-substituted pyrazole compounds, comprising the following steps: In water-insoluble aprotic solvent 1, 3-dialkylamino acryl compound (II) is subjected to condensation reaction with dichloroacetyl halide (I) by using organic nitrogen-containing weak base (III) as an acid-binding agent to obtain a mixture of 2-dichloroacetyl-3-(dialkylamino) acryl compound (IV) and hydrogen halide salt of the organic nitrogen-containing weak base (V), and then, the mixture is added with dialkylamine (VI) to perform ionization reaction, and then, the mixture is separated into layers, and the basic co-solvent solution (a mixture of water-insoluble aprotic solvent 1, IV and III) of 2-dichloroacetyl-3-(dialkylamino) acryl compound is collected; and then, the obtained basic co-solvent solution of 2-dichloroacetyl-3-(dialkylamino) acryl compound is dropped into a mixed solution of hydrazine compound (VIII), water-soluble base and water-insoluble aprotic solvent 2 to perform cyclization reaction, and thus, 3-dichloromethyl-1-substituted pyrazole compound (IX) is obtained.
[0010] The specific route is as follows: In the present application, the organic nitrogen-containing weak base (III) with pKa<7 is used as the acid-binding agent, and the basicity thereof is moderate, which can not only avoid the influence of the excessive basicity of the acid-binding agent on the stability of dichloroacetyl halide, but also can combine the generated hydrogen halide into hydrogen halide salt of the organic nitrogen-containing weak base quickly, so that the incomplete absorption of hydrogen halide in the system is avoided, and the raw material 3-dialkylamino acryl compound is not easily self-polymerized under the action of the unabsorbed hydrogen halide, for example, 3-dialkylamino acrylate is easily polymerized into trisalkyl trimellitate, and the yield is obviously reduced.
[0011] Meanwhile, by adding the aqueous solution of dialkylamine (VI) after the condensation reaction, the hydrogen halide salt of the organic nitrogen-containing weak base (V) generated in the condensation reaction is converted into the free organic nitrogen-containing weak base (III) by using the weak basicity of the organic nitrogen-containing weak base (pKa<7 and insoluble in water) (III) compared with that of dialkylamine (VI), and the hydrogen halide salt of dialkylamine (VII) is co-produced, and the basic co-solvent is formed by the organic nitrogen-containing weak base (III) and water-insoluble aprotic solvent 1. Due to the existence of the basic co-solvent (a mixed system of the organic nitrogen-containing weak base and aprotic solvent 1), the solubility of 2-dichloroacetyl-3-(dialkylamino) acryl compound (IV) is increased at low temperature, and the reaction speed and regioselectivity of the subsequent cyclization reaction are improved, the content of the product obtained by the cyclization reaction is high, the isomer is completely controlled, and no further purification is needed, and the total yield of the three steps of condensation, ionization and cyclization can reach more than 95%.
