Description

Process for preparing 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid by one-pot method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of drug synthesis, and particularly relates to a process for preparing 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid by a one-pot method.
Background
2,4, 5-Trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic Acid (2,4, 5-trifluo-3-Methoxy Benzoic Acid) is a key intermediate for synthesizing new fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs such as gatifloxacin (gatifloxacin), balofloxacin (balofloxacin), moxifloxacin (moxifioxicacin) and the like, and due to the irreplaceability of the intermediate, the synthesis process of the 2,4, 5-Trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic Acid is improved in recent decades, and currently, the synthesis route suitable for industrial production mainly comprises the following steps:
in the first route, N-methyltetrafluorophthalimide is taken as a raw material (see U.S. patent publication No. US 05380926), and the method comprises the following steps (1) and (2):
(1)
Figure BDA0002506946900000011
(2)
Figure BDA0002506946900000012
and the second route is that tetrafluorophthalic acid is taken as a raw material (see the literature: Tianzhiming, Liu Ming, Guo Huiyuan. 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid preparation [ J ] China medicine industry journal 20000.31 (12): 557-558):
Figure BDA0002506946900000021
the existing synthetic method of 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid has the following defects: in the first route, N-methyltetrafluorophthalimide is subjected to hydrolytic defluorination in an alkaline aqueous solution, but after the hydrolytic defluorination, 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-hydroxybenzoic acid needs to be separated out firstly, and then the subsequent reaction is carried out, and the subsequent reaction can not be carried out continuously in the same reaction vessel, so that the process route is longer; although the second route is a method for synthesizing 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid by a one-pot method, the price of the tetrafluorophthalic acid is relatively high, and in the existing synthetic routes including the first route and the second route, a large amount of sodium hydroxide is required, so that the side reactions are more, and the purification of the target product is difficult.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a process for preparing 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid by a one-pot method, the synthesis method can be continuously carried out in the same reaction vessel, the process route is short, the time consumption is short, the alkali consumption is small, the raw material cost is low, the side reaction is less or not generated at all, the yield is high, and the purity of the target product is high.
In order to achieve the purpose, the technical scheme of the invention is as follows:
the process for preparing 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid by a one-pot method comprises the step of obtaining 4-hydroxy salt-3, 5, 6-trifluorophthalate, and is characterized in that the step of obtaining 4-hydroxy salt-3, 5, 6-trifluorophthalate comprises the following steps:
the 4-hydroxy salt-3, 5, 6-trifluoro phthalate is obtained by putting N-methyl tetrafluorophthalimide in an alkaline environment and carrying out hydrolytic defluorination and hydroxylation reaction by taking metal halide as a catalyst.
In the case of sodium hydroxide providing an alkaline environment, the reaction is shown in formula (I):
Figure BDA0002506946900000031
after synthesizing the 4-hydroxy salt-3, 5, 6-trifluoro phthalate, the 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid can be further synthesized by adopting a conventional one-pot method.
In the synthesis process of the 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid, N-methyltetrafluorophthalimide with low price is used as a raw material, the 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid is synthesized in the same reaction vessel by a one-pot method, and an intermediate product does not need to be separated and purified in the synthesis process, so that the process route is short and the operation is convenient.
In the hydrolysis defluorination and hydroxylation reaction, the amido bond of the N-methyltetrafluorophthalimide is not directly broken, but an intermediate is firstly generated, and the intermediate is shown as a formula (IV):
Figure BDA0002506946900000032
the amide bonds of these two intermediates are further cleaved to form the 4-hydroxy salt 3,5, 6-trifluorophthalate, which results in a longer reaction time for this step.
Therefore, the metal halide is added as a catalyst in the hydrolysis defluorination and hydroxylation reactions, and can promote the amide bond to be broken, thereby greatly accelerating the reaction process. In addition, the addition of the catalyst can also greatly reduce the use amount of alkali (such as sodium hydroxide), avoid the phenomena that the reaction system cannot transfer materials due to excessive salt content or hydrolysis defluorination and hydroxylation reaction are incomplete because a large amount of salt (such as sodium chloride) is generated by acid-base reaction, improve the reaction conversion rate and facilitate industrial production.
Furthermore, after the catalyst is added, the using amount of alkali is greatly reduced, the reaction time is greatly shortened, and the occurrence of side reaction double hydroxylation (side reaction is shown as the formula (V)) can be avoided to a greater or lesser extent:
Figure BDA0002506946900000041
and the reduction or complete avoidance of side reactions can improve the purity of the target product, and avoid the trouble of purification and refining of the target product.
The 2,4, 5-trifluoro-3-methoxybenzoic acid prepared by the one-pot synthesis process has low raw material cost and short process route, and the synthesis of the 4-hydroxy salt-3, 5, 6-trifluorophthalate only takes about 8-10 hours and has short time consumption; the usage amount of alkali is reduced by more than 50%, side reactions are less or not generated at all, the total molar yield of the reaction can reach 85%, and the purity of the target product can reach more than 99.8%.
