The application discloses a preparation method of
sulfentrazone intermediate, which comprises the following steps: in a
solvent, substitution ring-closing reaction of cis-trans isomer compound (nitro
hydrazone) shown in formula II and
cyanate salt is carried out to generate
sulfentrazone intermediate shown in formula III. The scheme provided by the application solves the problems in the prior art, such as the use of a large amount of inorganic
reducing agent, such as
sodium sulfite, in the production of
raw material phenylhydrazine for preparing triazolinone through
phenylhydrazine, generation of a large amount of
solid waste, and low atomic economy; the scheme solves the problems in the prior art, such as the use of a large amount of
sulfite reducing agent and
sodium hypochlorite oxidant in the production of
raw material phenylhydrazine for preparing triazolinone through phenylhydrazine, generation of a large amount of mixed salt, and low chloro-substitution selectivity of
sulfentrazone prepared by using phenylhydrazine as
raw material; the scheme solves the problems, such as the reduction of diazonium salt to hydrazine, the oxidation of hydrazine to hydrazine, and the like; the scheme directly utilizes intermediate hydrazine and then utilizes
cyanate salt ring-closing, and compared with the prior art, the scheme is shortened by 3 steps, and
energy consumption and labor intensity are greatly reduced.
