Definitions
- This invention pertains to a new chemical process and some of the specific new practices thereof.
- the invention is more particularly directed to a new chemical process for preparing certain l-(substituted-hydrocarbyl)-3,4,5-tribromopyrazoles having the following structural formula:
- n is an integer O, l, 2, or 3
- R is hydrogen, alkyl of from 1 to 5 carbon atoms, inclusive, the total number of carbon atoms in the group being not more than 9
- A is the carboxyl group or a carboxylic amide group of the formula group is a saturated heterocyclic amino group of from 3 to 7 ring atoms, inclusive, having a total of not more than carbon atoms.
- the new process of the invention comprises a combination of reaction practices for preparing the l- (substituted-hydrocarbyl)-3,4,5-tribromopyrazoles of Formula I.
- the first practice of the integral process which pertains to preparation of pyrazole is known, and it is not critical in the process because pyrazole prepared in various ways can be used as the starting compound. This first practice is broadly described by Copenhaver in US. Pat. No. 2,515,160 issued July 1 l, 1950, for preparing pyrazole by reaction of a l,1,3,3-tetraalkoxypropane with a mineral acid addition salt of hydrazine hydrate.
- Copenhaver practice is advantageous in the combination process of this invention however, because it has been found that there is no necessity for separation and recovery of the pyrazole produced.
- the process of the invention is continued utilizing the aqueous reaction medium started with.
- the known Copenhaver practice is functionally combined with the second and a third specific reaction practices which are new according to this invention to give a new and better synthesis of the desired compounds.
- the new second reaction practice is directed to the bromination of pyrazole, and in contrast to published methods, furnishes tribromopyrazole in one step under exceedingly mild conditions.
- the yields of the desired product are excellent substantially quantitative in some cases.
- the third and final reaction practice of the combination process involves in situ N-alkylation of the 3,4,5-tribromopyrazole to give the desired compounds.
- the new process of this invention is characterized by utilization of the relatively inexpensive and ubiquitous reaction medium, water; the use of economical alkali metal hydroxide bases, preferably sodium hydroxide; and facile recovery of the desired product.
- These characteristics coupled with in situ preparation of pyrazole by the Copenhaver method and further in situ preparation of 3,4,5-tribromopyrazole by applicants new method provide a truly significant advance in the art of preparing the useful compounds of Formula I.
- the compounds are herbicides, especially the l-(alkanoamide)-3,4,5-tribromopyrazoles.
- a Copenhaver-type substantially aqueous reaction medium having the pyrazole in solution is first made alkaline to liberate the pyrazole from its hydrochloride salt. It is then treated with bromine and aqueous alkali metal hydroxide in order to impart a negative charge on the lnitrogen atom, which accelerates the bromination process. Furthermore the aqueous alkalimetal hydroxide also serves to neutralize the hydrogen bromide formed during the reaction. Bromine is added while the temperature of the aqueous mixture is maintained at about 35 C. Lower or higher temperatures can beused, but the guiding principle is to add the halogen slowly so that a runaway exothermic reaction will not occur.
- alkali metal hydroxide is added to the substantially aqueous reaction mixture in order to promote the prospective alkylation at the nitrogen atom of the pyrazole ring with an a, B, 'y, or A-monohalogenated alkanoamide or alkanoic acid.
- the N-alkylation reaction is promoted by heating the substantially aqueous reaction medium containing 3,4,5-tribromopyrazole, alkali metal hydroxide, and haloalkanoamide or haloalkanoic acid.
- the reaction is completed within an hour and upon cooling, followed advantageously by chilling, the desired l-(substitutedhydrocarbyl)-3,4,5-tribromopyrazole is recovered by conventional methods.
- alkali metal hydroxide component of the reaction mixtures sodium hydroxide is preferred. Potassium hydroxide can be used in the same way. Other alkali'metal hydroxides are suitable but relatively expensive.
- Copenhaver pyrazole synthesis and use in situ is an optional, though advantageous, step even though the remainder of the process of the invention can be utilized separately.
- the halogenation procedure and subsequent N-alkylation are effected in the same advantageous way no matter what the source of the pyrazole.
