Description

Novel efficient preparation process of 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol
Technical Field
The invention relates to a novel high-efficiency preparation process of 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol, belonging to the technical field of fine chemical engineering.
Background
2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol is a key intermediate for preparing transfluthrin. Transfluthrin belongs to a broad-spectrum pesticide, has extremely low acute and chronic toxicity, is widely applied to sanitary insecticidal products, and is an environment-friendly green pesticide. The literature reports that the preparation process of the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol mainly has six routes.
Route one: 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol is prepared by taking 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro terephthalic acid dimethyl ester as a raw material. 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro terephthalic acid dimethyl ester is reduced by sodium borohydride in glycol dimethyl ether solvent, and after hydrolysis of the off-white solid obtained by reduction, 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro p-hydroxymethyl benzoic acid (yield 82.6%) and 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro p-benzhydrol (yield 11.57%) are obtained. Decarboxylation of 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro-p-hydroxybenzoic acid in DMSO to give 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. The raw material 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro terephthalic acid methyl ester is prepared by hydrolyzing and methyl esterifying 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro terephthalonitrile. If the route is calculated by 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoroterephthalonitrile, the route is actually completed by five steps of reaction, and the route is long and poor in economy. Representative document is CN 201711008251.
And a second route: 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol is prepared by taking 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoic acid as a raw material. DE3714602 uses sodium borohydride as reducing agent/dimethyl sulfate as activating agent to obtain 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol by one-step reduction. CN1900037 uses sodium borohydride as a reducing agent and zinc chloride as an activating agent to obtain tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol by one-step reduction. In the processes, a large amount of expensive reducing agent sodium borohydride is needed, and in some processes, even 10 equivalents of sodium borohydride is used, so that the production cost is high.
And a third route: 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol is prepared by taking 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoyl chloride as a raw material. CN2006101010646 and CN109293478 etc. 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoyl chloride is used as raw material glycol dimethyl ether as solvent, sodium borohydride is reduced to obtain 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. The 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoyl chloride is prepared by reacting 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoic acid with thionyl chloride, and the process steps are more than one step of directly using the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoic acid as a raw material.
And a fourth route: 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol is prepared by taking 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluoro methyl benzoate as a raw material. In organic synthesis 2005,25,1125, sodium borohydride is used as a raw material to reduce methyl 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoate under the catalysis of elemental iodine to obtain 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. The reaction conditions are mild, but besides a large amount of sodium borohydride, a large amount of expensive iodine simple substance is used.
Route five: 1,2,4, 5-tetrafluorobenzene is used as a raw material to prepare 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. CN113292399 reports that 1,2,4, 5-tetrafluorobenzene and carbon tetrachloride are subjected to Friedel-crafts reaction to obtain 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorotrichlorotoluene, then the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorotrichlorotoluene is subjected to catalytic hydrolysis to obtain 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoyl chloride, the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzoyl chloride is subjected to Rosenmend reduction to obtain 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzaldehyde, and then the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzaldehyde is subjected to Pt/MgAl treatment2O4Hydrogenating and reducing the catalyst to obtain the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. The route uses the carbon tetrachloride which is difficult to obtain in the market and has higher market-scale yieldThe small 1,2,4, 5-tetrafluorobenzene uses expensive catalysts Pd and Pt, and hydrogen is used in the two reactions of the RosenMond reduction and the aldehyde reduction to alcohol, so that the large potential safety hazard exists. Thus, this route has advantages in terms of both cost and safety control.
Route six: the pentafluorophenylnitrile is used as a raw material to prepare the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. CN101462928 reports that pentafluorobenzonitrile is defluorinated under the action of active metal to obtain 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzonitrile, then the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzylamine is obtained through high-pressure catalytic hydrogenation, and the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzylamine is subjected to diazotization hydrolysis to obtain the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. Or the pentafluorobenzonitrile is firstly subjected to catalytic hydrogenation to obtain pentafluorobenzylamine, the pentafluorobenzylamine is subjected to diazotization hydrolysis to obtain pentafluorobenzyl alcohol, and the pentafluorobenzyl alcohol is subjected to defluorination by using an active metal to obtain the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol. According to the method, the pentafluorophenylnitrile is used as a raw material, and the 2,3,5, 6-tetrafluorobenzyl alcohol is obtained through three-step reaction, however, the conversion of cyano-group into benzylamine can be realized only through catalytic hydrogenation under a high-pressure condition, and the hydrogen pressure is as high as 10-20 atm. The high-pressure hydrogenation has great potential safety hazard. The second conversion of benzylamine to benzyl alcohol is achieved under diazotization conditions, which results in a large volume of high salinity wastewater. In addition, when the active metal is used for defluorinating the pentafluorobenzyl alcohol, a large amount of active metal reacts with acid to generate hydrogen, so that explosion and fire easily occur.
