The invention belongs to the field of
fluorine-containing
pesticide synthesis, and particularly relates to synthesis of
fluopyram. The
fluopyram is innovatively synthesized by adopting a one-pot catalytic
system, and the reaction process is as shown in the formula 1: 2-
acetonitrile-3-chloro-5-trifluoromethylpyridine (1) and o-
trifluoromethyl benzoyl chloride (2) are used as initial raw materials, a catalyst with a specific structure and an alkali-binding acid agent are added into an
ionic liquid, and a reaction is performed at the temperature of 60-80 DEG C for 1-2 hours to obtain the
fluopyram. And preparing the target product fluopyram (3) by a high-efficiency one-pot method under the catalytic action of a supported
metal catalyst in a
hydrogen atmosphere. According to the one-pot synthesis process of fluopyram, the reaction is clean and
pollution-free, the operation is simple and convenient, the
utilization rate of raw materials is high, and the application frequency of
Raney nickel can be increased under the condition that the yield is not influenced through a
reaction system formed by combining water and an
organic solvent. The o-
trifluoromethyl benzoic acid recovered from the water phase can be further converted into o-
trifluoromethyl benzoyl chloride, so that the
utilization rate of the raw materials is improved. The synthesis process
route is effectively shortened, and meanwhile, the use of expensive protection groups for protection in the hydrogenation reduction process is avoided, so that the process is more simplified.
