Background technology
P-trifluoromethylaniline (p-trifluromethylaniline, be abbreviated as PTFMA, and the CAS accession number is 455-14-1) is a kind of important industrial chemicals, particularly agricultural chemicals and medical aspect application very extensive.P-trifluoromethylaniline can obtain 2 through superchlorination, the 6-dichloro is to 5 amido benzotrifluoride, it is a kind of important intermediate, on pesticide industry for the synthesis of high-efficient low toxicity insecticide ethiprole (Frontline), taufluvalinate, penfluron, weedicide benfluralin, ethalfluralin etc., on medicine industry for the synthesis of neotype immunosuppressant medicine leflunomide etc.Along with deepening continuously of green chemical industry technology and newtype drug research, new purposes is developed continuously, and oneself is through becoming important promising Chemicals.
The synthetic method of p-trifluoromethylaniline is a lot, main method has so far, p-chloro benzo trifluoride-99 ammonia solution prepares the method for p-trifluoromethylaniline, the nitro benzyl chloride is reacted to the method for post chlorization, fluorine replacement, reduction with sulfide, to the method that methyl isocyanate chlorination, fluorine replace, hydrolysis generates p-trifluoromethylaniline, the aniline of take is starting raw material, by with bromotrifluoromethane, reacting the method that generates p-trifluoromethylaniline.
(1) nitro-trifluoromethyl toluene is reduced.Adopt SnCl
2-HCl and H
2It is the method for using the earliest that/Raney-Ni catalytic reduction prepares PTFMA to nitro-trifluoromethyl toluene.But, to nitro-trifluoromethyl toluene, be not allow facilely, be subject to, to nitro-trifluoromethyl toluene or to the restriction in nitrotrichloromethane benzene raw materials source, being difficult to carry out large-scale production.
(2) the direct ammonia solution of aromatic compound has just obtained people's extensive concern in the 30's of 20th century, has all obtained gratifying achievements in theory research and production application.The ammonia solution agent that the ammonia solution adopts can be liquefied ammonia, ammoniacal liquor, be dissolved in ammonia, the gaseous ammonia in organic solvent or the ammonia of being emitted in reaction by urea or ammonium salt.
With ammonia or liquefied ammonia, with the trifluoromethyl muriate, react and produce PTFMA and muriate is also a kind of method that meets the requirement of Modern Green Chemistry Atom economy.But in actual production, because hydrolysis reaction occurs the C on trifluoromethyl-F key easy fracture, so there are many problems in the ammonia solution technique of p-chloro benzo trifluoride-99.For example with CaO-CuCl, making the catalyzer p-chloro benzo trifluoride-99 reacts with ammoniacal liquor, when obtaining PTFMA, hydrolysis reaction occurs and obtain some by products (Hasek W R, Smith W C, Engelthardt V A. The Chemistry of Sulfur Tetrafluoride-The Fluorination of Organic Carbonyl Compounds. Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1960,82:543-548.).Therefore, in the production process of this technique, generally select organic solvent, to avoid the generation of hydrolytic side reactions, the selection by solvent and catalyzer improves reactive behavior.U.S. Pat 4096185 proposes take cuprous chloride and Potassium monofluoride is catalyzer, generates p-trifluoromethylaniline by high-temperature high-voltage reaction.CuCl-KF makes the transformation efficiency that catalyzer has greatly improved reaction.But in this reaction, also have the generation of p-aminophenyl formonitrile HCN by product, and catalyzer is difficult to apply mechanically, shared production cost is too high.
(3) hydrazinolysis reduction method.U.S. Pat 6479703 discloses from p-chloro benzo trifluoride-99, with hydrazine hydrate, reacts and generates accordingly to trifluoromethyl phenyl hydrazine, then uses Pd/C, and the catalyzer hydrogenolysis reducings such as RaneyNi obtain corresponding PTFMA.But the hydrazinolysis reaction is carried out in autoclave, autoclave is had to corrosion, and hydrazine hydrate easy the decomposition, causes the loss of raw material under the existence of metal ion.
(4) aniline trifiuoroniethylation.The method is to utilize arylamine and trifluoromethyl free radical to react to prepare the purpose product.Report that maximum is CF3I, under the condition of illumination or heating, occur to generate the trifluoromethyl free radical from separating, then trifluoromethyl free radical and the substitution reaction of aromatic ring generation free radical generate object (Martin A M C, Deborh A M C. Trifluoromethylation Related Reactions In Organic Chemistr. Tetrahedron, 1992,48 (32): 6585-6594.).The PTFMA generated in reaction and the mixture of o-trifluoromethyl aniline, the transformation efficiency of reaction is lower, and the cost of trifluoromethyl reagent is too high.
(5) the nitro benzyl chloride is reacted with sulfide to post chlorization, fluorine replace, the method for reduction is also a method, 4783562 pairs of systematic introductions of the method for U.S. Pat, but at first the method does not preponderate on cost, simultaneous reactions generates the muriate of hypertoxic sulphur, aftertreatment difficulty.
