The invention relates to a method for synthesizing
Sulfentrazone. The method is characterized by comprising the steps of liberating o-chlorophenylhydrazine from o-chlorophenylhydrazine
hydrochloride, which serves as a
raw material, by an alkali, subjecting o-chlorophenylhydrazine to a reaction with trimethyl orthoacetate and
potassium cyanate so as to obtain 1-o-chlorophenyl-3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one, and then, subjecting 1-o-chlorophenyl-3-methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazol-5-one to N-
alkylation, chlorination,
nitration, reduction and sulfonylation, thereby obtaining the
Sulfentrazone, wherein a composite catalyst and a
solvent, i.e.,
dichloroethane are adopted in a chlorination reaction. The method for synthesizing the
Sulfentrazone, disclosed by the invention, has the advantages that the o-chlorophenylhydrazine
hydrochloride serves as the
raw material, so that the steric hindrance of an
intermediate product can be low, and the yield of the product is increased; and meanwhile, in the chlorination reaction, the composite catalyst is adopted, thus, the orientation effect on all atoms is good, and the
solvent is
dichloroethane, so that the recycling of the
solvent is facilitated.
