Description

A kind of synthetic method of phosphine oxamate
Technical field
The invention belongs to chemosynthesis technical field, particularly to the synthesis side of a kind of herbicide phosphine oxamate Method.
Background technology
Phosphine oxamate (Glufosinafe) is efficient, the low toxicity, non-developed at first by Hoechest company Selective herbicide, trade name Basta, its molecular formula is: C5H12NO4P, its structure is:
Phosphine oxamate, as a kind of excellent herbicide, has efficiently, low toxicity and the feature such as non-selective, Being the preferable herbicide of current transgenic resistance crop, its market demand is fast along with genetically modified crops Speed develops and is greatly increased.More document is had to report the synthetic method of phosphine oxamate, Yan Hai both at home and abroad Prosperous grade " synthetic method of phosphine oxamate " [" pesticide ", 2002, the 9th phase of volume 43, the page number: 46-48] literary composition reviews the most conventional several synthetic methods, mainly there is high-pressure catalytic to close Cheng Fa, low temperature controlled syntheses method, smell and be combined to phosphine oxamate method, this special tired Ke Er (Strecker) reaction Synthesis phosphine oxamate method, closely that (Michael) addition process and microbe fermentation method.Li Yiming etc. are " one Plant the new method of synthesis phosphine oxamate " [" pesticide ", in January, 2012, the 1st phase of volume 51, the page number: 11-12] document summarizes main three routes that synthesis phosphine oxamate is used at present, route 1: with Asia Phosphonic acids trimethyl is initiation material, by rearrangement, chlorination, grignard reaction, Michael addition, water Solve 5 step reactions and obtain phosphine oxamate;Route 2: with diethyl methyl-phosphonite as raw material, with acrylic aldehyde After there is rearrangement reaction, then obtain cyanamide derivant by Strecker reaction, after hydrolysis, obtain grass Amine phosphine;Route 3: rearranged with diethyl methyl-phosphonite for raw material, replace, hydrolyze, smelling, Decarboxylation, the reaction of ammonolysis 6 step obtain phosphine oxamate.Wherein the chemical synthesis process of route 2 is comparative maturity Technique, Hoechst AG (DE) Frankfurt/Main 80, Federsl Republic of Germany one gives up self-employed tree cultivator industry Development Co., Ltd and announces in CN1267305A Patent A kind of phosphine oxamate and the synthetic method of intermediate thereof, the method using above-mentioned route 2, by methylphosphine Compound, such as diethyl methyl-phosphonite etc. and undersaturated ketone or aldehyde compound such as propylene Aldehyde, reaction produces adduct, executes special rake (Strecker) reaction and final cyanamide water through follow-up Solving, needing to use raw material during synthesizing amino cyanogen is NH3、NaCN、NH4C1, then By cyanamide compound, hydrochloric acid or sodium hydroxide is used to hydrolyze the U.S. producing phosphine oxamate US6359162 Being synthesized also with Strecker in state's patent and obtain cyanamide compound, then hydrolysis obtains grass Amine phosphine.Its technological reaction is as follows:
Route 2 course of reaction is short, and yield is of a relatively high, is current domestic synthesis phosphine oxamate comparative maturity Technique, its have of both shortcoming: on the one hand be that cyanamide compound is used hydrochloric acid or hydrogen-oxygen Change sodium and hydrolyze generation phosphine oxamate, substantial amounts of salt, the most mainly sodium chloride can be produced, cause in work Industry also exists sodium chloride and product separating step in the middle of producing, and due to phosphine oxamate and sodium chloride dissolubility Can there is similarity, the most all be dissolved in water so that physical separation step is not easy to, be the most all Carrying out the sodium chloride in the middle of isolated product with methanol, this process occupies large number quipments, is doped in product Methanol;On the other hand, the Cyanogran. of severe toxicity and concentrated hydrochloric acid is used can to produce the more three wastes, no It is beneficial to environmental conservation.
Summary of the invention
