Description

Synthesis method of o-methyl benzoyl cyanide
Technical Field
The present invention relates to the field of organic synthesis. In particular to a novel synthesis method of o-methyl benzoyl cyanide.
Background
The trifloxystrobin belongs to strobilurin fungicides, and has the characteristics of high efficiency, broad spectrum, long lasting period and the like. The o-methylbenzoyl cyanide is a key intermediate for synthesizing trifloxystrobin, and the method reported in the literature at present is mainly prepared by taking o-methylbenzoyl chloride as a raw material and taking sodium cyanide, potassium cyanide and the like as cyaniding reagents.
The methods all need to use highly toxic cyanide, and the synthesis process has no characteristics of greenness, safety and the like. For example, the cyanidation synthesis methods described in chinese patents CN201210457928 and CN201811581239, etc. all use highly toxic cyanide as a cyanidation reagent; advanced Synthesis and Catalysis,2019,361(19),4474-4482 and Synlett,2006,15,2495-2497 report the use of potassium ferrocyanide as a cyaniding reagent and palladium acetate or silver iodide as a catalyst, which is expensive, costly to produce and not suitable for industrial production. Similarly, J.Braz.chem.Soc.2013,24(11),1739-1743 report benzoyl cyanidation, potassium ferrocyanide is used as a cyaniding reagent, and the reaction is carried out at a high temperature of 160 ℃, so that the energy consumption of industrial production is too high. Chinese patent CN201710177386 also reports a similar cyanidation synthesis method, potassium ferrocyanide and a phase transfer catalyst system are adopted for cyanidation reaction, and tests prove that o-methylbenzoyl chloride does not react under the synthesis method.
Therefore, an economic, environment-friendly and green and safe o-methyl benzoyl cyanide synthesis method is urgently needed in the field.
