Description

PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OF 6-(PERFLUOROALKYL)URACIL
COMPOUNDS FROM UREA COMPOUNDS
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
6-(Perfluoroalkyl)uracil compounds are useful as herbicidal agents and methods for their preparation are known in the art. 6-(Perfluoroalkyl)uracil compounds may be prepared by reacting 2-(N,N-disubstituted)amino-4-(perfluoroalkyl)-1,3-oxazin-6-one compounds with amine compounds.
Bull. Soc. Chem. Belg., 101(4), pages 313-321 (1992) discloses that 2-(N,N-dialkyl)amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-oxazin-6-one compounds are prepared by reacting ethyl 3-amino-4,4,4-trifluorocrotonate with phosgene iminium chloride compounds. However, this method is not entirely satisfactory because the required phosgene iminium chloride compounds are difficult to handle and relatively expensive. Accordingly, a need exists in the art for an improved process for the preparation of 6-(perfluoro-alkyl)uracil compounds which avoids the use of 2-(N,N-disubstituted)amino-4-(perfluoroalkyl)-1,3-oxazin-6-one compounds.
It is, therefore, an obrject of the present invention to provide an improved process for the preparation of 6-(perfluoroalkyl)uracil compounds which avoids the use of 2-(N,N-disubstituted)amino-4-(perfluoroalkyl)-1,3-oxazin-6-one compounds.
Other objects and advantages of the present invention will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the description below and the appended claims.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the 6-(perfluoroalkyl)uracil compounds of formula I
wherein Y is hydrogen are prepared by reacting a urea compound of formula II with an amine compound of formula III and an acid or base, preferably at a temperature ranging from about 20°C to 150°C, in the presence of a solvent.

The reaction mixture is allowed to warm to and held at room temperature for 15 minutes, cooled to 5°C, and treated with dimethylcarbamoylchloride (21.6g, 200 mmol) over a 60 minute period. The resultant solution is then warmed to and held at room temperature for 2 hours, diluted with water (150 mL), and extracted with ethyl acetate (2 x 150 mL). The combined organic layers are dried, filtered and concentrated, and the mineral oil layer is removed to obtain a residue. Flash column chromatography of the residue on silica gel using a 85:15 hexanes/ethyl acetate solution gives the title product as a yellow liquid (18.1 g, 71% yield) : 1H NMR (DMSO-ds) 8 9.18 (s,lH), 5.85 (s, 1H), 4.20 (q, 2H), 2.89 (s, 6H), 1.18 (t, 3H) ; 19F NMR 8 -65.7 (s) .

To a solution of 5-amino-6-fluoro-3-methyl-1,2-benzisothiazole (0.600 g, 0.00329 mol) in 1,2-dichloroethane is added N-bromosuccinimide (0.586 g, 0.00329 mol) followed by 1,1~-azobis(cyclohexanecarbo-nitrile) (0.0200 g). The mixture is stirred two hours at 70 °C, additional N-bromosuccinimide (0.240 g, 0.00135 mol) is added, and the mixture is stirred 40 minutes at 70°C. The mixture is then cooled to room temperature, filtered and concentrated in vacuo to obtain a residue.
The residue is chromatographed on silica gel to give the title compound (0.870 g, 1000) which is identified by NMR
spectral analysis.
