Background technology
The special construction that difluoroethanol contains difluoromethyl, therefore makes its different in kind in other alcohols, can participate in multiple organic synthesis, is particularly useful for synthetic fluorine-containing medicine, agricultural chemicals and dyestuff, is one of important intermediate of fluorine-containing fine chemicals.Under 2,2-difluoroethanol normal temperature, be colourless liquid, 96 ℃ of boiling points, fusing point-28.2 ℃, relative density 1.71, specific refractory power 1.338, acid suitable with phenol, water-soluble, sour, ethanol, ether equal solvent, poisonous, stable in properties.
The synthetic method of now existing difluoroethanol is as follows:
The people such as W.G.Reifenrath [W.G.Reifenrath. J.Med Chem., 23 (9), (1980), 985-990], and people [Booth, the Harold such as Booth Harold; Readshaw, Simon A. Tetrahedron, 1990, vol.46, #6p. 2097-2110] in anhydrous diethyl ether solvent, with methyl boron mercaptide, realized the reduction to difluoroacetic acid equally.
People [Schrems, the Otto such as Schrems Otto; Oberhoffer, Helmut M. Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1984, vol.88, #19p.4335-4342] with tetrahydrochysene lithium aluminium, difluoroacetic acid is reduced into difluoroethanol.

4– ZrCl
4system at room temperature also can be reduced to alcohol by acid, can obtain higher productive rate.[M..Lewis.?J?Chem?Res.,Miniprint,?2001,(8):844-856]。
The shortcoming of above synthetic method is that in reaction, the market price of some reagent is higher, causes its synthetic cost to improve; And the last handling process of difluoroethanol reaction is wanted water cancellation, due to difluoroethanol and water separation difficulty, causes its productive rate obviously to decline, and makes it can not obtain higher income in suitability for industrialized production, this method be only applicable to batch compared with hour preparation.
O be take two fluoracyl chlorides as starting raw material than people [patent France200680047867] such as Xi Na, R Corvidaes, it is characterized in that the catalyzer that the method is included in significant quantity exists lower hydrogenation to meet the acetyl halide of following formula, this catalyzer comprises at least one the periodictable Ⅷ family element being deposited on the electrodeless carrier of solid with Acidity.In described formula, X represents the halogen atom except fluorine atom.
The shortcoming of this synthetic method is, the market price of catalyzer is more expensive, aspect the selection of catalyzer and consumption, will consider synthetic cost; And reaction will be carried out under certain pressure, condition is comparatively harsh, not economic and practical in suitability for industrialized production.
Gloomy has just been waited people [patent JP61268639] to have 4 to 8 object gacs of massfraction 0.5% to be packed into the reaction tubes of one meter of internal diameter 1 cm long absorption with RfCOX, put in the reaction unit of 170 ℃ of thermostatically heating, to reactor, pass into difluoro carboxylic acid halides and hydrogen, react 24 h, can obtain corresponding fluoroethanol.
The shortcoming of this synthetic method is, owing to being gas-phase reaction, makes its bad control in reaction process, and reaction treating processes in early stage and reaction unit all comparatively complicated, consider this production method not economic and practical.
The people such as Lewis [Lewis. J Chem Res., Miniprint 8 (2001), 844-856] obtain difluoroethanol by sodium borohydride reduction ethyl difluoro; People [Tamura, the Kenji such as Tamura Kenji; Yamazaki, Takashi. Journal of Fluorine Chemistry, 2005, vol.126, #6p.918-930] and [patent EP2298723A1,2011] respectively by reacting in tetrahydrofuran solution with tetrahydrochysene lithium aluminium, and equally ethyl difluoro is reduced into difluoroethanol with sodium methoxide.[patent EP1820789A1,2007], by with catalyst rhodium/carbon, pass into H in autoclave
2methyl difluoroacetate reduction is obtained to difluoroethanol.Difluoroethanol is prepared with hydride reduction two fluoracyl chlorides and difluoro chloroacetyl chloride in the people such as Henne [JACS, 74 (1952), 1426-8] and [patent US221859A1,2009].
The shortcoming of this type of reduction reaction is, post-processing stages needs water to carry out cancellation, and then with ether extration, cause productive rate obviously to decline, and in difluoroethanol extract, also contain a certain amount of moisture, water and difluoroethanol azeotropic, be difficult to obtain the lower product of water content.Gas-phase high pressure reaction, conversion unit is had relatively high expectations, and reaction treating processes in early stage and reaction unit are all comparatively complicated.
People [Smith, the Peter such as Smith Peter; Donovan, William H. Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, 1995, vol.33, #5p.395 – 405] by using catalyzer titanium chloride, vinylidene is made to difluoroethanol with hydroperoxidation.
The shortcoming of this type of reaction is, catalyzer market price is more expensive, and hydrogen peroxide agent is more dangerous, and reactant is gas, has certain difficulty in operation, and productive rate is undesirable.
In sum, these reactions or some cocatalyst, solvent market price are higher, cause its synthetic cost to improve; Or method more complicated is closed in some reaction; Or there is the comparatively shortcoming of difficulty of difluoroethanol last handling process, and totally cause its productive rate obviously to decline, can not make high-quality product.
