Description

Process for producing trifluoromethylsulfanylalkyl compound and trifluoromethylsulfanylalkyl compound composition
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for producing a trifluoromethylsulfanyl compound having a trifluoromethylthio group at one end of an alkyl chain and a halogen atom at the other end. In addition, the present invention relates to compositions comprising such trifluoromethylsulfanyl haloalkane compounds.
Background
Fluoroalkylthio groups are useful substituents for pharmaceutical and agrochemical compounds. For example, a pest control agent disclosed in patent document 1 has trifluoroethylsulfinyl group and trifluoromethylsulfanyloxy group on the benzene ring, and fluoroalkylthio group plays an important role in the expression of pest control activity.
In order to produce pharmaceutical and agricultural chemical compounds having a trifluoromethylsulfanyl group, it is indispensable to produce a synthetic equivalent functioning as a trifluoromethylsulfanyl alkylating reagent, and various synthetic methods of trifluoromethylsulfanyl alkyl synthon (synthon) have been studied.
For example, in patent document 2, the hydroxyl group of bromohexanol as a raw material is protected with an acetyl group, a metal thiocyanate is reacted to synthesize a thiocyanate compound, the obtained thiocyanate compound is reacted with a trifluoromethylating agent, and the hydroxyl group is deprotected and brominated to produce the objective trifluoromethylsulfanyl bromohexane ("reference example 1" of this document).

For example, in patent document 3, the hydroxyl group of bromopentanol as a raw material is protected with an acetyl group, a metal thiocyanate is reacted to synthesize a thiocyanate compound, the obtained thiocyanate compound is reacted with a trifluoromethylating agent, and the target trifluoromethylthio-bromopentane is produced through deprotection and bromination of the hydroxyl group (examples 122 to 123, reference examples 2 to 3 of this document).
[ solution 2]
Figure BDA0002625174410000021
For example, in non-patent document 1, bromohexylboronic acid and a trifluoromethylthio reagent, which are raw materials, are subjected to a coupling reaction in the presence of a copper catalyst, thereby producing the objective trifluoromethylthio bromohexane in one step.
[ solution 3]
Figure BDA0002625174410000022
For example, in non-patent document 2, bromoundecanoic acid and a trifluoromethylthio reagent, which are raw materials, are reacted in the presence of an iridium catalyst to produce a target trifluoromethylthio bromodecane in one step.
[ solution 4]
Figure BDA0002625174410000031
Patent document 4 describes a trifluoromethylthionation reaction in which a starting haloalkane compound is reacted with thiophosgene in the presence of a fluorine compound. The method described in patent document 4 is a method for producing a trifluoromethylsulfanyl alkyl compound from a haloalkane compound having low reactivity by using a one-step (single step) and a lower-cost raw material, and is superior to the prior art known in the past in patent document 4. However, patent document 4 does not describe nor suggest a method for producing an alkyl compound having a trifluoromethylthio group at one end of an alkyl chain and a halogen atom at the other end.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
In the methods for producing trifluoromethylthio haloalkane compounds disclosed in patent documents 2 and 3, 5 steps are required for producing the target compound, which is very long, and it is required to increase the cost and labor, and improvement in industrial production is desired.
On the other hand, the production methods of trifluoromethylsulfanyl haloalkane compounds disclosed in non-patent documents 1 and 2 can obtain the target compound in one step. However, in the present method, it is necessary to use a special catalyst, a special ligand, a special reaction apparatus, and the like, and therefore, it is costly. Therefore, the production methods of these documents are excellent as laboratory production methods, but are not preferable in terms of industrial production. Further, the trifluoromethylthio reagent used in non-patent documents 1 and 2 may have an adverse effect on the subsequent reaction because the part thereof not introduced into the product remains as an excess organic compound. Further, the present method is also expected to improve the yield of the target compound, because the yield is low.
The present invention aims to provide a method for producing a trifluoromethylthio haloalkane compound having a trifluoromethylthio group at one end of an alkyl chain and a halogen atom at the other end in one step using a relatively low-cost raw material or reagent. In addition, another object of the present invention is to provide a composition comprising such trifluoromethylsulfanyl haloalkane compound.
Means for solving the problems
In view of the above circumstances, the present inventors have made extensive studies on a method for producing a trifluoromethylsulfanyl haloalkane compound. As a result, it has been found that a target trifluoromethylsulfanyl halide compound can be obtained in one step by using a dihaloalkane compound having halogen atoms at both ends as a raw material and adding thiophosgene while heating in the presence of a fluorine compound, and that a special catalyst or the like is not required.

Hereinafter, the compounds, reaction conditions, and the like used in the present invention will be described in detail.
(starting Compound)
The starting material used in the present invention is a dihaloalkane compound represented by the formula (2), and may be a known compound or may be produced from a known compound by a known method. <xnotran> (2) , , , , , 1- -2- ,1,2- , 1- -2- , 1- -2- , 1- -3- ,1,3- , 1- -3- , 1- -3- , 1- -4- ,1,4- , 1- -4- , 1- -4- , 1- -5- ,1,5- , 1- -5- , 1- -5- , 1- -6- ,1,6- , 1- -6- , 1- -6- , 1- -7- ,1,7- , 1- -7- , 1- -7- , 1- -8- ,1,8- , 1- -8- , 1- -8- , 1- -9- ,1,9- , 1- -9- , 1- -9- , 1- -10- , </xnotran> 1, 10-dibromodecane, 1-chloro-10-iododecane, 1-bromo-10-iododecane, and the like, but are not limited thereto.
The dihaloalkane compound of the formula (2) preferably includes 1-bromo-3-chloropropane, 1, 3-dibromopropane, 1-chloro-3-iodopropane, 1-bromo-4-chlorobutane, 1, 4-dibromobutane, 1-chloro-4-iodobutane, 1-bromo-5-chloropentane, 1, 5-dibromopentane, 1-chloro-5-iodopentane, 1-bromo-6-chlorohexane, 1, 6-dibromohexane, 1-chloro-6-iodohexane, 1-bromo-7-chloroheptane, 1, 7-dibromoheptane, 1-chloro-7-iodoheptane, 1-bromo-8-chlorooctane, 1, 8-dibromooctane, 1-chloro-8-iodooctane and the like, more preferably includes 1-bromo-5-chloropentane, 1, 5-dibromopentane, 1-chloro-5-iodopentane, 1-bromo-6-chlorohexane, 1, 6-dibromohexane, 1-chloro-6-iodohexane and the like, and further preferably includes 1-bromo-6-chlorohexane, 1-bromohexane, 1-chloro-5-iodohexane, 1-bromohexane, 1-chloro-6-iodohexane and the like.
In the formula (2), X 1 And X 2 May be the same halogen atom or different halogen atoms, but X is preferably X from the viewpoint of the yield of the target compound represented by the formula (1) 1 And X 2 Are halogen atoms different from each other. Further, from the viewpoint of yield, X is preferred in the same manner 1 Has an atomic number less than X 2 The atomic number of (2). The reason is as follows.
X 1 And X 2 Since both are halogen atoms, both may be substituted with trifluoromethylthio group by the reaction of the fluorine compound with thiophosgene. Thus, by making X 1 And X 2 Being different halogen atoms, having reactivity at X 1 And X 2 With the difference therebetween, the target formula (1) can be obtained in a high yield by preferentially introducing trifluoromethylthio group into only one of them. Here, the reactivity of the halogen atom is F<Cl<Br<Order of I, so that X is preferentially substituted for trifluoromethylthio 2 Preferably X 1 Has an atomic number smaller than X 2 The atomic number of (2).
In addition, in the formula (2), X is also preferably X from the viewpoint of reducing the bis (trifluoromethylthio) alkyl compound of the formula (3) (described later) as a by-product 1 And X 2 Are halogen atoms different from each other. If a large amount of by-products are produced, the yield of the target compound of formula (1) is correspondingly reduced. From this point of view, X is also preferable 1 And X 2 Are halogen atoms different from each other, and X is more preferred 1 Has an atomic number less than X 2 The atomic number of (2).
Further, in the formula (2), X is also preferable from the viewpoint of reducing the amount of unreacted formula (2) 1 And X 2 Are halogen atoms different from each other. When the dihalogenated alkyl group of the formula (2) remains without being reacted, it becomes a factor of inhibiting the reaction in the subsequent step of producing the alkylphenyl sulfide derivative by reacting the compound of the formula (1) (hereinafter, may be referred to as "subsequent step"). Therefore, it is preferable to reduce the unreacted formula (2) not only in terms of the yield of the compound of formula (1), but also in terms of reactivity in the subsequent step. X 1 And X 2 When the halogen atoms are different from each other, thiophosgene preferentially attacks one halogen atom, so that the yield can be improved and the unreacted compound of formula (2) can be reduced. From the same viewpoint, X is preferred 1 Has an atomic number less than X 2 The atomic number of (2).
As X 1 And X 2 In combination of (1), preferably X 1 Is a chlorine atom or a bromine atom, X 2 Is a bromine atom or an iodine atom. In particular, X is preferably X from the viewpoint of the yield of the objective trifluoromethylthio-haloalkane compound of formula (1) 1 Is a chlorine atom, X 2 Is a bromine atom.
The value of n in formula (2) is not particularly limited, and n is preferably in the range of 3 to 8, more preferably in the range of 4 to 7, and particularly preferably 5 or 6.

[ solution 12]
Figure BDA0002625174410000121
The bis (trifluoromethylthio) alkyl compound of formula (3) does not inhibit the reaction in the production of the alkylphenyl sulfide derivative as the subsequent step of formula (1). The compound of formula (1) is a raw material for producing an alkylphenyl sulfide derivative, and is reacted with a trifluoroalkylthiophenol derivative in a subsequent step (described later), but in this step, the compound of formula (3) does not inhibit the reaction. Therefore, in the production method of the present invention, even if the by-product of formula (3) remains, the reactivity does not decrease in the subsequent step, and therefore, the reaction can be carried out more easily without removing the compound of formula (3) or purifying the compound of formula (1). Further, in the present invention, since only thiophosgene and potassium fluoride are used as raw materials, the remaining portion that is not introduced into the product becomes an inorganic salt and is easily removed by a washing operation with water. Therefore, the following advantages are also provided: there is little possibility that an excessive organic compound does not remain and an adverse effect is exerted in the subsequent step as in non-patent documents 1 and 2.
3. Thiophosgene addition conditions
The present invention is characterized in that thiophosgene is added to a raw material mixture containing a raw material compound of the general formula (2) and a fluorine compound at an addition temperature of 45 ℃ or higher for an addition time of 0.25 hours or longer. Hereinafter, the conditions for adding thiophosgene will be described in detail.
(method of addition)
The addition of thiophosgene to the raw material mixture can be carried out by a known method. For example, a method of adding dropwise to the reaction system using a separatory funnel, a dropping funnel, a burette, a syringe, or the like can be mentioned. In the case where it takes time to add a small amount of thiophosgene, it is preferable to use a syringe and a syringe pump in combination. When it takes time to add a large amount of thiophosgene to a reaction tank or the like, a method of dropping it into the reaction system using a metering pump, a dropping tank, or the like may be mentioned. When thiophosgene is added, it is preferable to stir the raw material mixture with a stirrer or the like for the purpose of carrying out the reaction.
(addition temperature)
The addition temperature of thiophosgene in the present invention may be appropriately adjusted by those skilled in the art as long as it is 45 ℃ or higher. From the viewpoints of yield, by-product inhibition, economic efficiency, and the like, the addition temperature may be, for example: usually 45 ℃ or higher and not higher than the boiling point of the solvent used, preferably 50 ℃ or higher and not higher than 110 ℃, more preferably 60 ℃ or higher and not higher than 100 ℃, and still more preferably 70 ℃ or higher and not higher than 90 ℃. Here, the "addition temperature" refers to the temperature of the reaction system immediately after the addition of thiophosgene. It is considered that if the amount of thiophosgene added to the raw material mixture at one time is relatively small, the influence of the thiophosgene temperature on the reaction system is small, and therefore the temperature of the raw material mixture at the time of addition may be set to the addition temperature.
(addition time)
The time for adding thiophosgene in the present invention is appropriately adjusted by those skilled in the art as long as it is 0.25 hours (i.e., 15 minutes) or more. In particular, from the viewpoint of improving the yield, the lower limit of the addition time in the present invention is as follows: preferably 0.5 hours or more, more preferably 1.0 hours or more, further preferably 2.0 hours or more, and particularly preferably 3.5 hours or more. In particular, from the viewpoints of byproduct suppression, economic efficiency, and the like, the upper limit of the addition time in the present invention may be, for example: preferably 48 hours or less, more preferably 36 hours or less, further preferably 24 hours or less, and particularly preferably 12 hours or less. The range of the addition time in the present invention can be appropriately adjusted by a person skilled in the art by combining the above-mentioned lower limit and upper limit. As a combination of the upper limit and the lower limit of the addition time, for example, there can be exemplified: preferably 0.5 to 48 hours, more preferably 1.0 to 36 hours, further preferably 2.0 to 24 hours, and particularly preferably 3.5 to 12 hours. However, the present invention is not limited to these combinations. Here, the "addition time" refers to a time from the start of the addition of thiophosgene to the reaction system to the end of the addition of the total amount to the reaction system.
The following conditions are particularly preferred as the time for adding thiophosgene.
The addition time (h) x (addition temperature (DEG C) -45) is not less than 10
Further, the addition rate of thiophosgene is preferably 10 mol/hr or less based on 1 mol of the dihaloalkane compound of the formula (2).
Further, thiophosgene is preferably added under the following conditions.
1 or more than the above-mentioned addition rate (mol/hr) × (the above-mentioned addition temperature (. Degree.C.) -45) or more than 400
4. The composition of the trifluoromethylsulfanyl haloalkane compound of the present invention will be described.
The trifluoromethylthio haloalkane composition of the present invention contains a trifluoromethylthio haloalkane compound represented by the above formula (1) and a bis (trifluoromethylthio) alkyl compound represented by the above formula (3).
The bis (trifluoromethylthio) alkyl compound of formula (3) is a by-product in the production process of the present invention, but does not inhibit the reaction in the production of the alkylphenyl sulfide derivative of formula (1) in the subsequent step, and therefore there is no problem even if formula (3) is contained. The composition of the present invention can be used as a raw material in an alkylphenyl sulfide derivative.
In the composition of the present invention, the content of the compound of formula (3) is usually 1 time or less, preferably 0.1 time or less, more preferably 0.01 time or less on a weight basis with respect to the content of the compound of formula (1). When the ratio of the compound of formula (3) to the compound of formula (1) exceeds 1 time, the ratio of by-products becomes too high, and the ratio of the compound of formula (1) becomes low in the subsequent step, so that the reactivity tends to be lowered.
5. The method for producing an alkylphenyl sulfide derivative (subsequent step) will be described.
The trifluoromethylsulfanyl haloalkane compound of formula 1 can be used for the production of an alkylphenyl sulfide derivative. The alkylphenyl sulfide derivative is useful as a pest control agent or an intermediate thereof. The alkyl phenyl sulfide derivative can be produced by the following formula.

The results of example 5 show that, when 1, 5-dibromopentane having bromine atoms at both ends of the alkyl chain is reacted as a raw material, a mixture of (5-bromopentyl) trifluoromethylsulfide as a target compound, 1, 5-bis ((trifluoromethyl) thio) pentane having trifluoromethylthio) groups at both ends of the alkyl chain, and 1, 5-dibromopentane as an unreacted raw material is obtained.
In example 6, thiophosgene and potassium fluoride in an amount 2 times that used in example 5 were used to conduct the reaction, and as a result, the reaction rapidly proceeded to quantitatively obtain 1, 5-bis ((trifluoromethyl) thio) pentane.
In example 7, a reaction was carried out using 1 in 2 out of the amount used in example 5 of thiophosgene and potassium fluoride, and as a result, (5-bromopentyl) trifluoromethylsulfide was obtained in a yield of 73%. The result of example 7 was better than that of example 5, but 51% of the unreacted raw material remained.
1, 5-dibromopentane as a raw material is a known substance, and it is described in the literature (for example, the Journal of Organic Chemistry,51 (12), 2206-2210 (1986), etc.) or in the catalogues of reagents, etc. that 1, 5-dibromopentane has a boiling point of 111 to 112 ℃/15mmHg and 221 ℃/760mmHg. On the other hand, the boiling point of (5-bromopentyl) trifluoromethylsulfide was measured, and the results were 90 ℃/15mmHg (measured value) and 210 ℃/760mmHg (calculated value).
As described above, 1, 5-dibromopentane and (5-bromopentyl) trifluoromethylsulfide have boiling points very close to each other, and separation and purification based on a distillation operation are difficult. Therefore, from the viewpoint of industrial production, it is preferable to reduce the unreacted raw materials as in examples 1 to 4.
