Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of pesticide synthesis, in particular to an environment-friendly process for producing quizalofop-p-ethyl.
Background
Quizalofop-p-ethyl is a post-emergence selective herbicide developed by Nippon Nissan chemical industry, shows strong killing effect on annual and perennial gramineous weeds, is safe to broadleaf crops, can be widely used for preventing and killing gramineous weeds of crops such as cotton, rape, peanut, soybean and various broadleaf vegetables, and has wide technical synthesis and preparation processing prospects.
At present, two synthetic routes for quizalofop-p-ethyl exist, one is to take 2, 6-dichloro quinoxaline as a raw material to perform a reaction shown in equation 1, and directly or further perform an esterification reaction to obtain quizalofop-p-ethyl, and the other is to prepare 4- (6-chloro-2-quinoxalyloxy) phenol to react with ethyl p-toluenesulfonate to obtain quizalofop-p-ethyl, as shown in equation 2.
Equation 1
Equation 2
Compared with the two existing methods, the former method is easy to generate ester bond fracture in the Willamson condensation process, and the yield of the process of preparing quizalofop-p-ethyl from acid by the subsequent esterification reaction is low. The latter is reacted to directly obtain the product, the steps are simple, the process is easy to control, and the method has greater advantages than the former and is convenient for realizing industrialization. The influence of the intermediate 4- (6-chloro-2-quinoxalyloxy) phenol in the equation 2 on the quality of the synthesized quizalofop-p-ethyl is very important.
At present, the prior art mainly introduces the aqueous phase etherification reaction of 2, 6-dichloro quinoxaline and potassium hydroxide, the reaction system has strong alkalinity, active chlorine in the 2, 6-dichloro quinoxaline is easy to hydrolyze, the etherification reaction yield is influenced, and secondly, due to the large alkali concentration, two molecules of 2, 6-dichloro quinoxaline and one molecule of hydroquinone have more impurities and the content of etherification products is low;
the etherification reaction of 2, 6-dichloro quinoxaline and sodium hydroxide in a mixed solvent of toluene and DMF, DMF is used in the reaction, the solubility of the product is stronger, the dosage ratio of the 2, 6-dichloro quinoxaline to alkali is about 1:5, diether impurities are more, in addition, ice water is needed for post-treatment, the steps are complex, the ice water is mixed with the solvent and is not easy to treat, and the solvent recovery is influenced.
In the existing technology, the solid quizalofop-p-ethyl butter is produced after the solvent is recovered from the mother liquor generated during crystallization in the preparation process of quizalofop-p-ethyl, and the butter contains more quizalofop-p-ethyl and also contains impurities generated in the synthesis process, so that the solid quizalofop-p-ethyl butter is directly discharged, and the environment is seriously polluted. How to further treat the quizalofop-P-ethyl butter and reduce the environmental pollution is also an urgent problem in the field.
