The invention relates to the technical field of chemical purification of pesticides, and discloses a refining and purifying method of
indoxacarb. The method comprises the following steps: dissolving an
indoxacarb crude product, performing contact adsorption on the dissolved
indoxacarb crude product and a temperature-sensitive imprinted
silicon material, performing separation to obtain a
liquid phase rich in R-isomers and a
solid phase loaded with S-isomers, performing recrystallization purification on the
liquid phase to obtain R-indoxacarb, performing
gradient elution on the
solid phase to remove impurities, and performing
desorption to obtain high-purity S-indoxacarb, the adsorbent takes
mesoporous silica as a carrier, is synthesized in situ through a temperature-sensitive
polymer guided by template molecules, and can accurately capture S-isomers at low temperature and quickly desorb during heating. According to the method, high-temperature
side reaction is avoided, the process stability is high, the dependence of traditional recrystallization on
solubility difference is broken through, the core problem of low chiral separation efficiency is solved, meanwhile, high-selectivity separation is achieved, and the optical purity and yield of the product are remarkably improved.
