Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE

An improved integrated route to bis-(2-pyridyl-1-oxide) disulfide is provided by oxidizing 2-chloropyridine with permaleic acid to form 2-chloropyridine-1-oxide followed by mercaptization with a selected alkali metal sulfide to form the alkali metal salt of 2-mercaptopyridine-1-oxide and then oxidation with hydrogen peroxide under selected pH conditions.

Description

~ 5'~7~ C-6324 This invention relates to an improved, integrated method - for preparing bis-(2-pyridyl-1-oxide) disulfide in high purity and high yield. More particularly, this invention involves the preparation of the aforesaid disulfide compound in an integrated, in-situ method by oxid-izing the alkali metal salt of 2-mercapto-pyridine, which i~ obtained by oxidation of 2-chloropyridine with ^~ permaleic acid followed by mercaptlzation with a selected sulfide, wlth hydrogen peroxide using selected pH conditions.
~ The preparation of bis-~2-pyridyl-1-oxide) disulfide (also - 10 referred to a~ 2,2'-dithiodipyridine-l,l'dioxide) hereinafter referred to as the disulfide, has been previouæly broadly disclosed in U.S. Patent 2,742,476 wherein mercaptopyridine-l-oxide is reacted with an oxidizing agent. U.S. Paten~ 3,759,932 also generally discloses the preparation of a disulfide componnd using an in-situ prepsration technique wherein mercaptopyridine is - not isolated. While these references broadly disclose the pre-para~ion of the disulfide, problems have arisen when using the alkali metal salt of 2-mercaptopyridine-1-oxide in an in-situ technique wherein the alkali metal salt was obtained by oxidizing
2-chloropyridine with permaleic acid to form ~he N-oxide followed by mercaptization to form the ~alt. When using ~h~s system, oxidation by the known techn~ques as shown for example in U.S.
Patent 2,742,476 resulted in the formation of undeslred by-products such as the alk~li metal maleate and al~ali metal fumarate.
This contaminated the desired disulfide product and lowered the yield. ' ;
It has now bee~ found that when using permaleic acid in the preparatlon of 2-chloropyridine-1-oxide during the integrated preparation of the disulfide, the above noted by-product formation can be avoided and surpri~ingly high yields obtained by operating . .

In the reaction of this invention as illustrated above, 2-chloropyridlne i8 oxidized to ~he N-oxide using permaleic acid .

in accordance with known procedures as dlsclosed for example in U.S. Patent 2,951,844. The mercaptization of the 2-chloropyridine N-oxide i8 carried out using an alkali metal sulfide or alkali metal hydrosulfide in accordance with known procedures as di~closed in U.S. Patent 2,686,786. The key ~tep in this invention is the oxidation of the prepared alkali metal salt of 2-mercaptopyridine-l-oxide u~ing hydrogen peroxide and a reac~ion pH of about 4 to about 5. By maintaining thë reaction under the6e conditions, the precipitatlon of undesired impuritle~, primarily derived from the salts of fumaric acid is avoided and surprisingly high yields resulted.
In carrying out the reactlon of this invention, the temperature ,.

may generally be maintained from about 15 to about 35C. ~7ith about 20 to abo~t 30~C. being preferred. The hydrogen peroxide concentration may be varied with about 5 to about 30~ in aqueous solution being generally used. Generally a stoich~ometric ratio of the alkali metal salt of 2-mercaptopyridine and hydrogen peroxide of about 2 moles of the mercaptopyridine salt to about 1 mole of peroxide or a ~light excess of up to about 15% peroxide is used.
It is also generally advisable to agitate the reaction mixture in the peroxide oxidation step to maintain an effectively dilute hydrogen peroxide solution.

The pH Df the reac~ion mixture is generally adjusted before the peroxide oxidation step by using any suitable acidifying agent such as the non-oxidizing mineral acids such as HCl and the non-oxidizing organic acids.
While 2-chloropyridine has been shown to be a desired starting material in the method of this inven~ion, other 2-halopyridines and substituted halopyridines containing groups such as lower alkyl and lower alkoxy which do not adversely affect the reaction may also be used. ~ -Isolation of the final product after oxidation is obtained by a standard filtration procedure. ;' The disulfied compounds prepared in accordance with the method of this invention have a variety oE known uses, particularly as antibacterial and antifungal agents in a variety of applications such as ~o combat agricultural plant diseases ~nd in plastics and fabrlcs to resist mildew or other fungus a~tack as disclosed in U.S. Patent 2,742,476.
