Description

A kind of preparation method to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of fine-chemical intermediate, particularly to a kind of intermediate of insecticidal/acaricidal agent to tert-butyl benzene The synthetic method of acetonitrile.
Background technology
It is colourless to faint yellow to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile, have the liquid of special fishlike smell, be synthesizing new insecticidal/acaricidal agent The important intermediate of cyflumetofen (cyflumetofen), is also a kind of useful spice (European patent ep 0062368).
Cyflumetofen is the new acaricide of big chemical company of Japan exploitation, lists in Japan first, mainly within 2007 For preventing and treating the evil mite of fruit tree, vegetable, tea, ornamental plant etc., with existing insecticide no interactions resistance.To various plants all no medicines Evil, fool proof to non-target organisms such as mammal, aquatile, beneficial organism, natural enemies, belong to environmentally friendly agricultural chemical (beautiful State's patent us 2003/0208086, pesticide 2009,48(7), 474-475,478, modern 2009,8(4), 23-24).
Report to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile synthetic route all with to tert-butyl group benzyl chloride or to tert-butyl group cylite for close Key intermediate, is obtained through being condensed with Cyanogran., prints 2003,17(9 when such as European patent ep 0062368 and chemical industry), 43-44. There are two methods to tert-butyl group benzyl chloride or to the synthesis of tert-butyl group cylite: 2-methyl-2-phenylpropane is in anhydrous zinc chloride and hydrogen halide In the presence of carry out halomethylation with paraformaldehyde and react being obtained, or in the presence of p-tert-butyltoluene is through illumination or radical initiator Free radical replace halogenation be obtained, reaction equation is as follows:
About 10% meta-isomer is produced during 2-methyl-2-phenylpropane halomethylation, very much like with required para-position product characteristicses, difficult Removed with separating from product.Additionally, it is high-boiling components that halomethylation reaction also can produce more dimerization and poly by-product.Right Major control halogenation depth during t-butyltoluene halogenation, but raw materials used p-tert-butyltoluene is obtained by the tert-butylation of toluene, Same be difficult to containing about 10% that when detached meta-isomer, halogenation and subsequent cyaniding, reactivity is similar, lead to final products Content low, need repeatedly to refine, yield is low, consume big.In addition, the intermediate of above two syntheti c route is to tert-butyl group halogenation Benzyl has larger toxicity and zest, the Cyanogran. severe toxicity of use, and these all bring very big to production safety, labor protection etc. Problem.
In a word, above two syntheti c routes all exist more and are difficult to separate the meta-isomer removing, these isomeries The activity that body participates in next step reaction is similar to principal product, therefore can have influence on quality, yield and the cost of final pesticide always. In addition the shortcomings of these routes also have that equipment corrosion is serious, the three wastes are many, poor stability, labour protection have high demands, so in the urgent need to Low cost, the three wastes few, safe to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile technique, particularly do not use hypertoxic Cyanogran., do not produce difficult point From isomer to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile technique.
Content of the invention
In order to overcome in prior art that by-product is serious, pollution is big, poor stability the shortcomings of, the invention provides a kind of right The preparation method of tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile.
With cheap p-t-butyl phenol as raw material, through catalytic hydrogenation, vacuum distillation obtains the 4- tert-butyl group to the present invention Ketohexamethylene, then carry out the prepared 4- tert-butylcyclohexylene acetonitrile of knoevenagel condensation and 4- t-butylcyclohexyl alkene with cyanoacetic acid The mixture of base acetonitrile, then through catalytic dehydrogenation aromatization, add benzene second in catalytic dehydrogenation aromatization link is to reactant mixture Alkene, cinnamic addition be catalytic dehydrogenation aromatization link add 4- tert-butylcyclohexylene acetonitrile and 4- tert-butyl group ring The 0.2%-2.0% of hexenyl acetonitrile mixture weight, is passed through the noble gases of certain flow rate simultaneously, is obtained to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile Product.The synthetic route of the present invention is as follows:
Preparation method to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile proposed by the present invention, is characterized in that with p-t-butyl phenol as raw material, warp Selective catalytic hydrogenation is obtained 4- tbutylcyclohexanone, is easy to the feature being condensed using ketone carbonyl, carries out with cyanoacetic acid Knoevenagel condensation generates the mixture of 4- tert-butylcyclohexylene acetonitrile and 4- t-butylcyclohexyl thiazolinyl acetonitrile, By catalytic dehydrogenation aromatization, add a small amount of styrene in catalytic dehydrogenation aromatization link is to reactant mixture, lead to simultaneously Enter the noble gases of certain flow rate, be obtained to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile.Because p-t-butyl phenol content is very high, the position of condensation is true Fixed, reaction does not produce position isomer, and therefore products therefrom purity is very high.Although it is different each other that condensation reaction can obtain position of double bond The 4- tert-butylcyclohexylene acetonitrile of structure and 4- t-butylcyclohexyl thiazolinyl acetonitrile, but obtain identical after dehydrogenation and aromatization Product is to tert-butyl benzene acetonitrile.
The preparation method of the present invention avoids halomethylation reaction, the shortcoming of halogen substitution reaction, and using hypertoxic cyaniding The shortcomings of sodium, generation difficult separation isomer, the three wastes of technique substantially reduce, and safety greatly improves, and cost is remarkably decreased.
