Description

The purification process of mesotrione
The present invention relates to reduce the novel method of impurity level in the mesotrione sample.
Mesotrione (2-(2 '-nitro-4 '-methyl sulphonyl benzoyl)-hydroresorcinol) is selective corn herbicide and has formula (I) structure:
Figure A20048002818500041
Shown in the reacting flow chart of the face that is prepared as follows of mesotrione, the reaction of 2-nitro-4-methyl alkylsulfonyl Benzoyl chloride and cyclohexanedione generates enol ester, with after rearrangement reaction generates mesotrione:
Figure A20048002818500042
2-nitro-4-methylsulfonyl Benzoyl chloride (NMSBC) is by corresponding 2-nitro-4-methyl sulfonylbenzoic acid (NMSBA) preparation, and NMSBA is again by oxidation 2-nitro-4-methylsulfonyl toluene (NMST) preparation.More detailed preparation route can be referring to US4695673.
But we have found that this method causes existing the impurity of undesirable level usually in final mesotrione product.A kind of method that we have found to reduce impurity is to make NMSBA carry out purification step before being converted into NMSBC, as described in detail among the WO02/076934.But purifying NMSBA can't always guarantee not contain in the finished product or contain enough low-level these impurity.
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide and reduce improving one's methods of impurity level in the mesotrione sample.
Therefore, the invention provides a kind of method that reduces impurity level in the mesotrione sample, described method comprises the steps:
(i) in water-containing solvent, form mesotrione enolate solution,
(ii) carry out one or more purification process, and
(iii) crystallization goes out the mesotrione of purifying from solution.
Randomly, this method can further comprise distilation steps, and it suitably carried out before forming the mesotrione enolate.Usually, this distilation steps will be only, although be not necessary, is used to prepare when not separating its product behind the mesotrione.
Can be by adding suitable alkali for example NaOH, KOH, NH 4OH, pyridine or triethylamine and form enolate solution aptly, form enolate by adding NaOH or KOH.Aptly, water-containing solvent is a water, but may need under the certain situation other solvent for example acetonitrile, methyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, dimethyl formamide etc. to guarantee the dissolving fully of mesotrione enolate.Mesotrione enolate solution forms at pH 6-13 aptly.
Described one or more purification process can be selected from following:
(a) filter,
(b) use suitable sorbent material such as absorption such as carbon, clay,
(c) extraction with an organic solvent, or
(d) decant.
Can carry out the purification process of any number of times and they can carry out with any order.Aptly, carry out at least two kinds of purification process and preferably at least three kinds.This purification process now is described in further detail.
Filter to remove any insoluble impurities that is retained in the mesotrione enolate solution.This filtration can be undertaken by any proper method well known by persons skilled in the art.
Adsorption treatment has been adsorbed the impurity in the mesotrione enolate solution.Be suitably with 1-30% and the mesotrione enolate solution that is preferably 8-11% with in batches or the successive mode contact several hours with carbon.The concentration of sorbent material solution is suitably 2-40% and preferred 10-20% with respect to the concentration of the mesotrione solution of enolate form.The pH of adsorption treatment is suitably pH 5 to 13, and is preferably pH9 to 11.
Carrying out organic solvent extraction anyly is dissolved in organic phase but is insoluble to the impurity of water to remove.Add organic solvent in the mesotrione enolate aqueous solution and some impurity will be preferably dissolved in the organic phase, remove organic phase then and throw aside." washing " mesotrione enolate aqueous solution several times with an organic solvent, as once, twice, three times, four inferior or in the adverse current king-post Continuous Contact.Unlikely needs are surpassed four times " washing ", may after " washing " of this number of times, be removed because be dissolved in all impurity of organic solvent.Suitable organic solvent is known to those skilled in the art, can comprise benzonitrile, acetonitrile/dimethylbenzene, dimethylbenzene, methylene dichloride, MIBK, ether, normal hexane and 1, the 2-ethylene dichloride.
In brief, decant is meant and removes any organic solvent from solution.If the mesotrione product does not separate after its preparation and do not carry out distilation steps, organic solvent is retained in the mesotrione enolate aqueous solution probably so.Removing organic solvent will remove and be dissolved in this organic solvent but any impurity in the water insoluble solution.
Optional distilation steps before forming mesotrione enolate solution, carry out aptly and will remove above-mentioned condensation/rearrangement reaction after residual any organic solvent.
Crystallisation step can carry out by any method known to those skilled in the art.For example, this operation can be method in batches, the method for half batch or the method for continuous crystallisation.Described crystallization adds sour example hydrochloric acid by reducing the pH of mesotrione enolate solution for example controlledly, carries out.Can use mesotrione seed assisting crystallisation process.Randomly, can add water-soluble solvent, because having of water-soluble solvent such as acetonitrile helps reduce the impurity level that exist this moment.
In specific embodiments of the present invention, this method comprises: distilation steps; Form mesotrione enol solution, preferred enolization potassium; One or more purification steps; And crystallization mesotrione.
In second specific embodiments of the present invention, this method comprises: form mesotrione enol solution, preferred enolization potassium solution; Decant, filtration and the adsorption treatment of carrying out with any order (although preferably at first carry out decant operation); And crystallization mesotrione.
By implementing method of the present invention, the impurity level in the final mesotrione product is reduced to acceptable level.
The further advantage of the inventive method is that it can be integrated among the preparation method of mesotrione, has eliminated the needs that separate thick mesotrione and carry out purifying afterwards thus.Therefore, the present invention provides the preparation/purification process of the integration of mesotrione on the other hand, and described method comprises the steps:
(i) make the reaction of cyclohexanedione and 2-nitro-4-methylsulfonyl Benzoyl chloride (NMSBC) form enol ester, with after rearrangement process obtains mesotrione;
