Background
Dinotefuran is a novel nicotine pesticide developed by mitsui chemical corporation of japan, and has the following structure:
the dinotefuran does not contain chlorine atoms and aromatic rings, has the characteristic structure of 3-tetrahydrofuran methyl and is high in water solubility. It can kill insects by contact and stomach toxicity, and has the advantages of convenient use, strong systemic property, long lasting period, etc.; can be used on various crops such as rice, wheat and the like. Dinotefuran was marketed in japan in 2002; in 2003, it was marketed in korea; in 2004, first registered in the united states; in 2013, it was registered in China. Since the time of sale of dinotefuran, its sales continued to increase, reaching us $ 0.95 billion worldwide in 2014. Its compound patent CN1046508C in China and its key intermediate 3-aminomethyl tetrahydrofuran have expired in 10 months in 2014 in Chinese patent CN 1099418C. With the expiration of its patent and the expansion of the range of registered crops, its market prospect is much broader. The market demand for 3-aminomethyl tetrahydrofuran, a key intermediate, is also rapidly increasing.
At present, the literature reports that the synthesis of 3-aminomethyl tetrahydrofuran mainly comprises the following processes: the first synthetic route is as follows: (from patent CN1099418C)
Firstly, 3-hydroxymethyl tetrahydrofuran reacts with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride under the catalysis of triethylamine to generate sulfonic ester, then reacts with phthalimide potassium salt to obtain N- { (tetrahydro-3-furyl) -methyl) } phthalimide, and finally is hydrolyzed by sodium hydroxide to obtain 3-aminomethyl tetrahydrofuran.
Although the yield of the first route is high, the first route has many byproducts, high cost and poor atom economy.
The second synthetic route is as follows: (from patent CN1968941A)
Firstly, the malic acid is hydrogenated and reduced into 1, 2, 4-butanetriol by Ru/C catalysis, then the ring is closed under the catalysis of TsOH to obtain 3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran, and the 3-hydroxytetrahydrofuran is further reacted with SOCl2Obtaining 3-chloro tetrahydrofuran through reaction, then reacting with NaCN to generate 3-cyano tetrahydrofuran, and finally obtaining 3-aminomethyl tetrahydrofuran through Raney Ni catalytic hydrogenation.
The route two has five steps, the steps are longer, and expensive Ru/C and virulent NaCN are used, so that the cost is increased and the operation risk is increased.
The third synthetic route is as follows: (from patent WO2005066126)
Firstly, 3-tetrahydrofuran methanol reacts with methanesulfonic anhydride to generate sulfonic ester, and then reacts with NaN3The reaction is carried out to obtain 3- (azidomethyl) tetrahydrofuran, and finally the 3- (azidomethyl) tetrahydrofuran is reduced by catalytic hydrogenation.
Route three, NaN used3And the resulting azide are explosive, increasing the operational risk.
The synthesis route is four: (from patent CN106866588A)
Wherein X is H, F, Cl, OCH3、CF3Or SO3Na and the like.
Firstly, 1, 4-butylene glycol is dehydrated and cyclized under the action of a fixed acid catalyst (heteropoly acid, acidic resin or molecular sieve) to generate 2, 5-dihydrofuran, and then the 2, 5-dihydrofuran is added into HRhCO [ P (PhX)3]3Carrying out hydroformylation reaction under the catalysis of the catalyst to obtain 3-formyl tetrahydrofuran, then reacting with hydroxylamine to generate oxime compounds, and finally carrying out hydrogenation reaction under the action of Pd/C or Raney Ni to obtain the 3-aminomethyl tetrahydrofuran.
And the route IV has longer steps, the reaction temperature of the first step is too high (200 ℃ C. and 250 ℃ C.), the requirement on equipment is high, and the operation risk is increased.
The fifth synthetic route is as follows: (from patent CN106316993A)
And the fifth route is that dihydrofuran is firstly used as a raw material, dihydrofuran-3-formaldehyde is obtained through Vilsmeier formylation reaction, and finally, 3-aminomethyl tetrahydrofuran is obtained through reduction ammoniation under the catalysis of Pd/C or Raney Ni.
Route five although the procedure is short, POCl used in the first Vilsmeier formylation reaction3Has strong corrosion to equipment and has troublesome post-treatment.
The synthesis route is six: (from patent CN107417648A)
The sixth route is that diethyl maleate and nitromethane are subjected to Michael addition reaction to generate 2-nitromethyl-1, 4-diethyl succinate, and then the obtained product is subjected to NaBH4Reducing to obtain 2-nitromethyl-1, 4-butanediol, dehydrating and cyclizing under the catalysis of TsOH to generate 3-nitromethyl tetrahydrofuran, and finally obtaining the 3-aminomethyl tetrahydrofuran through catalytic hydrogenation.
The six steps of the route are longer, and NaBH4It is expensive and the post-treatment is complicated.
