A kind of synthesizing chiral cyproconazole
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of synthesis technique of agricultural chemicals cyproconazole, particularly a kind of novel method of synthesis of chiral cyproconazole.
Background technology
The optical activity agricultural chemicals is chemistry of pesticide one of active research field relatively in the world at present.According to recent statistics, have 28% to be chipal compounds in the commercial agrochemicals.Surplus commercial 170 in kind of the chirality agricultural chemicals; Annual sales amount surpass 100,000,000 dollars have 30 surplus kind; Surpass 2,500 ten thousand dollars have 60 surplus kind; The chirality agricultural chemicals sales volume that wherein contains high reactivity chiral isomer composition surpasses 10,000,000,000 dollars, and the chirality agricultural chemicals annual sales amount of pure optically active isomer is near 3,000,000,000 dollars, and the chirality agricultural chemicals accounts for 35% of global agricultural chemicals market.
From the biological activity angle, the drug effect of optical activity agricultural chemicals and raceme preparation differs greatly, and the drug effect that has differs hundreds of times; From the environmental protection type agricultural angle, use the optical activity agricultural chemicals, can reduce dosage, alleviate toxicity and improve security, satisfied the new demand that social development proposes agricultural chemicals; See that from the economic benefit angle exploitation optical activity agricultural chemicals can conservation, reduces cost.
Cyproconazole is the triazole bactericidal agent of Switzerland mountain pass scholar company (Sandoz AG) exploitation; It is ergosterol demethylation suppressor factor; Have the effect of prevention and treatment, all effective to the Erysiphe on cereal crop, coffee, beet, fruit tree and the grape, Uredinales, the mould Pseudomonas of spore, Rhynchosporium spp, Septoria, Venturia germ, can prevent and treat cereal and coffee rust; Cereal, fruit tree and uncinula necator; Peanut, beet leaves pinta, scab of apple and peanut white rot can also be used with other sterilant.Cyproconazole 1989 is at first released as the sterilant of wheat class foliage-spray in France, afterwards as seed treatment agent, is widely used in the seed treatment of the winter wheat and the cotton of West Europe, the U.S..
Cyproconazole is the triazole bactericidal agent that contains a chiral centre, adopts the carbonyl epoxy method at present, with 1; 2; 4-triazole ring opening synthesis, the cyproconazole that obtains is a racemic modification, and is as shown in Figure 1; Also mainly with the sold-in and the use of raceme,, research obviously is superior to racemic modification on the market yet showing the drug effect of the single optical isomer of cyproconazole.But, the method for the synthesis of chiral cyproconazole of having reported at present, route is complicated, and condition is harsh, and is with high costs, is not suitable for large-scale commercial prodn.
The synthesis of chiral medicine has chiral separation and the synthetic two kinds of means of asymmetry catalysis after the chemosynthesis usually.The former need consume the chiral separation agent of equivalent when synthetic drugs, in the medicine with several chiral centres is synthetic, its consumption will be doubled and redoubled.The latter only needs a spot of chiral catalyst, just can synthesize a large amount of chiral drugs, and pollutes for a short time, is that the green of compliance with environmental protection requirements is synthesized.Over nearly more than 30 years, along with the fast development of Organometallic Chemistry, chiral catalyst and asymmetric catalysis constantly make progress, and fine chemical products such as many chiral medicinals, agricultural chemicals and spices form scale prodn gradually.Because asymmetry catalysis is synthetic to have efficient, highly selective, by product is few, environmentally friendly and characteristics such as Atom economy, might become the main means of production of chirality agricultural chemicals future.
