Description

Preparation method of herbicide intermediate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of pesticide intermediate compound preparation, and in particular relates to a preparation method of a topramezone intermediate 4-substituted-3-aldehyde-2-methylbenzoate compound.
Background
Topramezone is a benzyl ester pyrazolone herbicide originally developed by basf, and belongs to p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) inhibitors [1-3]. The English name is topramezone, the Chinese name is topramezone or topramezone, and the commodity name is CampusR or "bud guard". Can effectively prevent and remove annual grassy weeds and broadleaf weeds in corn, is safe to corn, but the application range of the herbicide is gradually widened to crops such as rice, sugarcane and the like, and can be safely compounded with other pesticides. The global topramezone market size in 2018 was about 1.09 billion dollars, the total amount of active ingredients applied was about 269.35t, with the corn field market being 65.55% and other crops being about 34.45%. The topramezone has excellent drug effect and wide market prospect, but the extremely difficult synthesis process makes the topramezone have high selling price and therefore limits the wide application of the topramezone.
The preparation process of the topramezone reported at present mainly comprises the following two steps:
Route 1:
Route 2:
Wherein the preparation of compound (8) in scheme 1 (see patent: US 20026469176) requires the construction of the isoxazole ring via ultra low temperature reactions, and the scheme also uses highly toxic carbon monoxide and expensive metallic palladium catalysts, resulting in high costs. Compound (7) in scheme 2 is reported as the following preparation method:
1) See patent nos.: US6100421
The bromination reaction step in the route has low selectivity, so that separation and purification after the reaction are difficult;
2) See patent nos.: CN201410083163
The source of the initial raw materials in the route is difficult, the preparation is also referred to the method in US20026469176, and simultaneously, the reaction of n-butyllithium at the ultralow temperature of minus 100 ℃ to minus 60 ℃ is used in the process of converting into carboxyl, so that the industrial production is difficult;
3) See patent nos.: CN201910517379
The starting materials in this route are likewise of difficult origin and, during the reaction of hydroxylamine with nitrile groups, inevitably lead to large amounts of impurities due to the double reactive functions of hydroxylamine.
In conclusion, the existing method has the defects of large three wastes, high cost, bad production environment and the like when the topramezone intermediate compound is prepared.
3- (4, 5-Dihydro-3-isoxazolyl) -2-methyl-4- (methylsulfonyl) benzoic acid is a conventional important intermediate compound for preparing topramezone, and research on a proper preparation method thereof reduces the synthesis cost of topramezone and is a hot spot problem which is continuously researched by a person skilled in the art.
