Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of fine chemical engineering, and particularly relates to a catalytic synthesis method of systemic herbicide 4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-methylthio-1, 2, 4-triazine-5 (4H) -ketone.
Background
The 4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-methylthio-1, 2, 4-triazine-5 (4H) -ketone is also called metribuzin, is a systemic selective herbicide, is mainly absorbed by roots of crops, is widely used for preventing and killing various weeds on crops such as tomatoes, soybeans, potatoes, corns, alfalfa, sugarcanes and the like, and is widely researched by scientific researchers due to the characteristics of high efficiency and low toxicity.
Currently, metribuzin is prepared by taking methanol as a catalyst and taking 4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-mercapto-1, 2, 4-triazine-5 (4H) -one (triazone) and methyl bromide as raw materials under the alkaline condition. However, in the preparation process, a large amount of methanol is required, so that on one hand, the recovery cost of raw materials and a solvent is increased; on the other hand, methanol is volatile and has a low boiling point, so that the danger of explosion exists in the production process, namely the danger coefficient of the production process is increased by using methanol as a catalyst; in addition, because methyl bromide is not easy to dissolve in water, the reaction is slow, so that the conversion rate of the raw material triazone is not high; and because oxygen in a reaction system can not be removed, bromine is dissociated in the synthesis, the color of the product is further influenced, and a series of problems that the product quality is not over-critical, the post-treatment operation is increased, the production cost is increased and the like are caused.
Research shows that impurities contained in the finished metribuzin product produced by the prior art have the following structures:
the presence of the above impurities seriously affects the quality and efficacy of metribuzin, and therefore it is desirable to minimize the content of these impurities.
