In acetamide herbicides, chloroacetamides occupy the leading position, and have the advantages of relative high efficiency, low toxicity and low residue, so that the chloroacetamides occupy the important position in the pesticide industry and are more and more widely applied. However, the existing process has the disadvantages of multiple reaction steps in the process of preparing the dimethachlor, complex reaction and post-treatment, difficult control, poor process stability, difficult separation of impurities, low raw material utilization rate, low product yield, low production efficiency, high production cost and serious environmental pollution. There are three main processes reported in the literature for preparing dimethachlor:
route 1: reference Tetrahedron Letters, Vol.29, No.40, pp 5095-. Using 2, 6-dimethylaniline as a raw material, and using strong base sodium hydroxide to obtain an acylation product through an acylation reaction in the first step, wherein the yield is as follows: 96.5 percent; secondly, the acylation product is subjected to ring closure reaction to obtain a ring closure product, and the yield is as follows: 95.7 percent; thirdly, the ring-closing product is subjected to ring opening and etherification decarboxylation reaction to obtain the N- (2-methoxyethyl) -2, 6-dimethylaniline of the compound, and the yield is as follows: 95.5 percent, and the total yield of the first three steps is about 88 percent; and fourthly, preparing a product of dimethachlor from the compound N- (2-methoxyethyl) -2, 6-dimethylaniline. If the process is used for preparing the dimethachlor, the reaction steps in the process are as many as four steps, each step needs to be separately processed, the comprehensive yield is not high, the utilization rate of raw materials is not high, strong base sodium hydroxide is used in the first step of acylation reaction, the equivalent number of chloroformic acid-2-chloroethyl ester which needs to be consumed in the actual amplification process is large, meanwhile, the proportion of non-etherified byproducts in the third step is large, the control is not easy, the amplification is not easy, and the production efficiency is also low.

Although the reaction steps of the route are only two steps, when the substitution reaction is carried out in the actual amplification production process, the reaction temperature is as high as 170 ℃, the disubstituted by-products are difficult to control, the process stability and the repeatability are not good, the 2, 6-dimethylaniline raw material is difficult to completely convert, and the 2, 6-dimethylaniline and the product N- (2-methoxyethyl) -2, 6-dimethylaniline are difficult to separate.
Route 3: firstly, 2, 6-dimethylaniline is used as a raw material, and the 2, 6-dimethylaniline, a raw material of methoxyacetic acid or methoxyacetyl chloride, a solvent and an acylation reagent are subjected to condensation reaction to obtain an N- (2-methoxyacetyl) -2, 6-dimethylaniline product; and secondly, adding N- (2-methoxyacetyl) -2, 6-dimethylaniline, a reducing agent and a solvent into a reduction reaction kettle for reduction reaction to obtain an N- (2-methoxyethyl) -2, 6-dimethylaniline product. And thirdly, adding the N- (2-methoxyethyl) -2, 6-dimethylaniline, alkali and a solvent into a reaction kettle, and then dropwise adding chloroacetyl chloride for condensation reaction to obtain a dimethachlor product. The reaction steps in the process of preparing the dimethachlor are up to three steps, each step needs separate post-treatment, the post-treatment is complicated, and the amount of three wastes is large.

And then washing with water for 2 times, distilling the obtained organic layer in the reaction bottle under reduced pressure, evaporating the solvent to dryness, recovering toluene, discharging the material to obtain 97.5g of a product of dimethachlor, wherein the total yield is 95.3 percent, and the purity is 86.5 percent. The product was tested to contain about 10% of the incompletely converted starting material, 2, 6-dimethylaniline, and chloroacetyl chloride as a by-product.
As can be seen from the examples 1-3 and the comparative example 1, the comparative example 1 does not use a one-pot method, the post-treatment is complex, and the purity of the product can be ensured only by purifying the intermediate, so that the yield is obviously reduced; it can be seen from examples 1 to 3, comparative examples 2 and 3 that when the acylation reaction is performed by using strong alkali sodium hydroxide, the amount of chloroformic acid-2 chloroethyl ester is at least 1.2 times equivalent, and the amount of the strong alkali sodium hydroxide is 1.1 times equivalent, so that the raw material can be completely converted, and the purity of the product is reduced to below 97% because the intermediate is not purified.
While the invention has been described with respect to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
