The invention discloses a method for synthesizing
cycloxaprid by using unilateral
aldehyde, which comprises the following steps: by using 4-acetoxybutyraldehyde as an initial
raw material, selectively protecting the
aldehyde group of the 4-acetoxybutyraldehyde through an accurate pH value regulation strategy, oxidizing the alcoholic hydroxyl group at the other end into the
aldehyde group under specific conditions, and reacting to obtain the
cycloxaprid by using the unilateral aldehyde. And finally, carrying out cyclization reaction on the
cycloxaprid and 2-chloro-5-((2-(nitromethylene) imidazoline-1-yl) methyl)
pyridine in an acid environment, so as to prepare the cycloxaprid in one step. According to the invention, the
raw material is further extended to cheap 1, 4-
butanediol, and the key intermediate is prepared through selective protection and oxidation. According to the technology, separation of unstable intermediates is avoided through ingenious reaction
time sequence control, high yield and high
chemical purity are achieved, raw materials can be recycled, the technology has the outstanding advantages of being high in
atom economy, low in cost,
environmentally friendly and the like, and the problems that a traditional production technology is low in yield and difficult to scale are perfectly solved.
