The invention provides a synthesis method of 4,6-dichloropyrimidine with 4,6-dihydroxypyrimidine serving as a midbody. The synthesis method mainly comprises the following steps: adding
sodium methylate,
dimethyl malonate and
formamide into a reaction kettle, fully stirring, then increasing the
system temperature, performing heat preservation reaction to remove byproducts, slowly adding
sodium methylate drop by drop again, keeping the temperature for half an hour after completion of adding, and performing desolventizing; adding water when the solution is hot, and stirring to cool the solution to realize
crystallization; performing centrifugal spin-
drying to obtain centrifugal filtrate and crystallized solids, intensively refining and recycling the filtrate, and directly esterifying
solid sodium salt; transferring for
alkaline hydrolysis, and filtering to obtain a 4,6-dihydroxy
pyridine solution; adding trichloromethane and a
pyridine catalyst; stirring, slowly feeding
phosgene and controlling the
reaction temperature; decompressing to distill redundant trichloromethane, and continuously performing suction
filtration, concentration and
crystallization to obtain white needle-shaped products. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple; production of a large amount of
wastewater due to multiple acid modulations is avoided; the product yield is high, and the synthesis method is suitable for industrial production.
