Preparation method of high-purity thiamethoxam
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of high-purity thiamethoxam.
Background
Thiamethoxam, chemical name: 3- (2-chloro-5-thiazolylmethyl) -5-methyl-N-nitro-4H-1, 3, 5-tetrahydrooxadiazin-4-imine represented by the following structural formula (I):
thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid insecticide developed by Nowa company in 1991, and can selectively inhibit nicotinic acetylcholine esterase receptors of central nervous systems of insects, so that normal conduction of the central nervous systems of the insects is blocked, and the insects are paralyzed and even die.
Thiamethoxam has high activity on coleoptera, diptera and lepidoptera pests, particularly homoptera pests, and can effectively control various pests such as aphids, leafhoppers, plant hoppers, potato beetles, nematodes, leaf miners and the like, and pests with resistance to other chemical pesticides. The thiamethoxam has the advantages of contact poisoning, stomach toxicity and systemic activity, higher activity, better safety, wider insecticidal spectrum, high action speed and long lasting period, and is a better variety for replacing organophosphorus, carbamate and organochlorine insecticides which have high toxicity, residue and environmental problems on mammals.
The thiamethoxam can be used for stem leaf treatment, seed treatment and soil treatment. Suitable crops are rice crops, beet, soybean, rape, potato, fruit trees, peanut, tobacco, orange and the like. The pesticide is safe and harmless to crops when used under the recommended dosage.
The classical method for synthesizing thiamethoxam at home and abroad comprises the following steps: the thiamethoxam is prepared from a compound 2-chloro-5-chloromethylthiazole and 3-methyl-4-nitroiminotetrahydro-1, 3, 5-oxadiazine.
The reaction formula is as follows:
the above methods are reported in patents PCT2002034734, 2006Mu00715, WO 0100623. The patent CN102372702, CN106188032A and C106496215A improve the preparation method, and although the yield is improved, a large amount of dichloroethane is required for extraction, so the productivity is lower; dichloroethane is a toxic and harmful solvent and is limited in industrial use.
In other domestic patent preparation methods, DMF is mostly used as a solvent, potassium carbonate is used as an acid-binding agent, and the mixture is stirred for 8 to 15 hours at the temperature of between 20 and 70 ℃. After the reaction is finished, adding water with 5-10 times volume to separate out the product, filtering and separating out a crude product, and recrystallizing by using methanol or crystallizing after dissolving and extracting by using dichloromethane and dichloroethane to obtain the thiamethoxam product with the content of 96-98%. A large amount of DMF and salt enter the wastewater, so that COD, ammonia nitrogen and salt in the wastewater are high, the environmental protection pressure is huge, and the wastewater is difficult to treat; and solvent recovery is difficult due to the introduction of mixed solvents. Thiamethoxam products are unstable under alkaline conditions, decompose faster at higher temperatures, and generate a large amount of tar. The higher the purity, the more stable the thiamethoxam product is. However, the synthesis reaction is carried out under alkaline conditions, which are unavoidable, and the higher the synthesis temperature, the faster the decomposition rate of the product. At present, no report is found on a preparation method for preparing high-purity (more than or equal to 99%) thiamethoxam with high yield, the product yield of the existing preparation method is low, and the obtained thiamethoxam product and the commercially available thiamethoxam have the highest content of only 98%.
Based on the above disadvantages of the prior art methods, it would be highly desirable to develop an improved method for the preparation of high purity (≧ 99%) thiamethoxam, which is suitable for industrial applications, simple, low cost, high yield and environmentally friendly, thereby overcoming the drawbacks of the prior art.

The technical scheme is as follows: the invention relates to a preparation method of high-purity thiamethoxam, which comprises the following steps:
reacting 2-chloro-5-chloromethyl thiazole with a structural compound shown as a formula (II) and 3-methyl-4-nitroiminotetrahydro-1, 3, 5-oxadiazine with an acid-binding agent of an inorganic base in a polar aprotic solvent under the action of a catalyst at the reaction temperature of 20-35 ℃; the reaction time is 5-6 hours; after the reaction is finished, filtering to remove inorganic salt, adding a decoloring agent into the filtrate, and stirring at room temperature for decoloring; filtering again, concentrating the filtrate under reduced pressure, recovering the solvent, adding water into the remainder, heating to full solution, cooling, crystallizing, filtering, and drying to obtain a white thiamethoxam product with a purity of more than 99% and a structure shown in formula (I);
the catalyst is 4-dimethylaminopyridine and Me-DABCO;
furthermore, the molar ratio of the 2-chloro-5-chloromethylthiazole to the 3-methyl-4-nitroiminotetrahydro-1, 3, 5-oxadiazine to the inorganic base to the catalyst is 1:1.2 (0.5-2) to (0.001-1).
Furthermore, the molar ratio of the 2-chloro-5-chloromethylthiazole to the 3-methyl-4-nitroiminotetrahydro-1, 3, 5-oxadiazine to the inorganic base to the catalyst is 1:1.2 (1-1.5) to (0.005-0.2).
Furthermore, the weight ratio of the 2-chloro-5-chloromethylthiazole to the decolorizing agent to the polar aprotic solvent is 1: 0.01-0.5 (1-10).
Furthermore, the weight ratio of the 2-chloro-5-chloromethylthiazole to the decolorizing agent to the polar aprotic solvent is 1: 0.1-0.5 (5-10).

According to experimental data, the higher the purity is, the more stable the thiamethoxam product is. However, the synthesis reaction is carried out under alkaline conditions, which are unavoidable, and the higher the synthesis temperature, the faster the decomposition rate of the product. At present, no report exists on a preparation method for preparing high-purity (more than or equal to 99%) thiamethoxam with high yield.
Has the advantages that: (1) the invention adopts 4-dimethylamino pyridine or Me-DABCO as a catalyst, takes alkali as an acid-binding agent, can react in a proper solvent at room temperature, and can thoroughly convert raw materials into products. Because the reaction and the post-treatment operation are carried out at low temperature, the hydrolysis of products in the prior art is effectively avoided, the side reaction is reduced, and the reaction yield is greatly improved.
(2) The preparation method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, simple method, low cost, high yield, simple solvent recovery treatment and no corrosion to equipment. Because a large amount of salt and impurities generated by product hydrolysis are effectively prevented from entering the wastewater, a series of influences on the environment caused by post-treatment are reduced, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
(3) Compared with the thiamethoxam product sold in the market, the thiamethoxam product prepared by the method has higher purity and yield.
