The invention discloses a method for preparing 6-fluoronicotinic acid based on a heterogeneous catalytic
system, which comprises the following steps: sequentially adding 2-fluoro-5-methylpyridine and a heterogeneous catalyst into a reaction kettle, and uniformly stirring and mixing; continuously introducing
oxygen into the reaction kettle, heating to carry out oxidation reaction, monitoring the reaction by HPLC (
High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and TCL until the conversion rate of 2-fluoro-5-methylpyridine in a
reaction system is greater than or equal to 95%, then cooling to
room temperature, filtering reaction liquid, washing a
filter cake,
drying and recovering the catalyst; after deionized water is added into the filtrate for
dilution, a
hydrochloric acid solution is added into the
reaction system to adjust the pH value, then standing and precipitating are conducted, finally filtering is conducted, and a
filter cake is dried to obtain 6-fluoronicotinic acid; the heterogeneous catalyst is a Zr-MOF (
Metal Organic Framework) material loaded with TEMPO (Tetramethylpiperidine
Oxide)-Cu. According to the method, 2-fluoro-5-methylpyridine is used as a
raw material and a reaction medium at the same time,
oxygen is used as an
oxidizing agent, the 6-fluoronicotinic acid is efficiently synthesized under the
catalysis of the heterogeneous catalyst, and the method is low in cost, high in product purity and yield and
environmentally friendly.
