The invention discloses a synthesis method of pinoxaden, and belongs to the field of
chemical engineering. The method comprises the following steps that 2,6-diethyl-4-
methylaniline is subjected to
sodium nitrite diazotization and
thermal decomposition to generate 2,6-diethyl-4-methylbromobenzene;
diethyl malonate is added into [1,4,5]-oxadiazepine dihydrobromide
hydrate and an
alkaline catalyst tosynthesize dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-d][1,4,5]-oxadiaza-7,9(2H, 8H)-
diketone, the dihydro-1H-pyrazolo[1,2-d][1,4,5]-oxadiaza-7,9(2H, 8H)-
diketone and 2,6-diethyl-4-bromomethyl
benzene are subjected tocoupling reaction to obtain 8-(2,6-diethyl-4-methyl phenyl)tetrahydropyrazolo[1,2-d][1,4,5]xazepine-7, 9(2H, 8H)-
diketone; the 8-(2,6-diethyl-4-methyl phenyl)tetrahydropyrazolo[1,2-d][1,4,5]xazepine-7, 9(2H, 8H)-diketone is reacted with
pivaloyl chloride to synthesize the final product pinoxaden. According to the synthesis method of the pinoxaden, the synthesis steps are shortened, operation is simple and convenient, the cost is reduced, the economic efficiency is high, and environmental
pollution is little.
