Description
PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION AND ISOLATION OF INTERMEDIATES OF CERTAIN MESOIONIC PESTICIDES
BACKGROUND FOR THIS DISCLOSURE
Mesoionic pesticides and methods for preparing them have been previously disclosed in, for example, WO 2009/099929 Al, WO 2011/017334 Al, WO 2011/017342 Al, WO 2011/017347 Al, WO 2012/092115 Al, WO 2013/090547 Al, WO 2017/189339 Al, and WO 2019/173173 Al. Triflumezopyrim is a mesoionic pesticide that is used against rice plant hopper, as well as other pests. Ammonium, potassium, sodium, other metal salts, and organic amine salts of 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanedioate may be used as an intermediate in the synthesis of triflumezopyrim. However, certain synthesis steps disclosed previously have one or more drawbacks for large-scale manufacture of triflumezopyrim. For example, WO 2013/090547 Example 2, located on page 38, discloses a process that, in general, includes does a saponification reaction followed by azeotropic removal of excess water in the presence of toluene to produce sodium 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)malonate. This process requires more operation units and longer cycle time, generates more waste, and thus limits the manufacturing capacity. Thus, there remains a need for alternative ways of preparing triflumezopyrim in high yield and high quality.
DETAIL DESCRIPTION FOR THIS DISCLOSURE
Triflumezopyrim has the following structure.
It is also known 2,4-dioxo-l-(pyrimidin-5-ylmethyl)-3-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-3,4-dihydro- 2/7-pyrido[l ,2-a]pyrimidin- 1 -ium-3 -ide.
Sodium 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanedioate has the following structure (hereafter also known as “STPP”). It is also known as sodium 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)malonate (hereafter also known as “STPM”).
In the following Scheme One:
sodium 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)mal onate is prepared from dimethyl 2-(3- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)malonate (hereafter also known as “DTPM”). STPM is prepared, in general, by conducting a saponification reaction followed by crystallization to obtain STPM in a higher yield and higher purity than the prior art. If desired, other alkyl substituents may be used such as diethyl 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)mal onate or dipropyl 2-(3- (trifluoromethyl)phenyl)malonate, as well as mixtures of alkyl substituents with or without DTPM
In Scheme One, DTPM and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) are mixed under conditions to produce STPM. In general, about 2 moles to about 8 moles of NaOH per mole of DTPM, preferably, about 2 moles to about 4 moles of NaOH per mole of DTPM, and more preferably, about 2 moles to about 3 moles of NaOH per mole of DTPM may be used. The NaOH is preferably a solution of sodium hydroxide in water of 5 to 50 weight percent (wt %) concentration, and even more preferably, a solution of sodium hydroxide in water of 10 to 40 wt % concentration.
In Scheme One, currently, temperatures from about 0 °C to about 50 °C may be used; preferably temperatures from about 5 °C to about 25 °C may be used. Currently, pressures from
about 10 kilopascals (kPa) to about 1000 kPa may be used; preferably pressures from about 50 kPa to about 150 kPa may be used, however, generally, ambient pressure is preferred.
The mixing of DTPM and NaOH is conducted in the presence a solvent. While a variety of solvents may be used, such as, for example, nonpolar hydrocarbon solvents, polar aprotic solvents, polar protic solvents, etc., it has been discovered that using isopropyl alcohol (also known as, propan-2-ol) as a solvent provides unexpected and important benefits. The amount of solvent used is from about 1 mole to about 32 moles of solvent per mole of DTPM, preferably, about 1 mole to about 16 moles of solvent per mole of DTPM, and more preferably, about 1 mole to about 4 moles of solvent per mole of DTPM may be used.
Following the mixing of DTPM with NaOH in the presence of a solvent, preferably isopropyl alcohol, a resulting mixture comprising STPM is further mixed with additional solvent, preferably isopropyl alcohol, under temperatures from about 5 °C to about 20 °C, preferably from about 10 °C to about 15 °C, and pressures indicated above. These conditions promote better crystallization of STPM to obtain higher yield and higher purity of STPM.
The amount of additional solvent used is from about 1 mole to about 50 moles of solvent per mole of STPM, preferably, about 1 mole to about 30 moles of solvent per mole of STPM, and more preferably, about 1 mole to about 4 moles of solvent per mole of STPM may be used. It should be noted that a mixture of different solvents may be used, such as, for example, a mixture of isopropyl alcohol with water or other alcohols such as ethanol.
In light of the above and the examples below the following additional details (D) are provided.

Prior art example: Preparation of sodium 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanedioate from 1,3 -dimethyl 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanedioate
The procedure in Example 2, located on page 38 of WO 2013/090547 Al, was recreated in order to determine the purity of the product, sodium 2-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]propanedioate, produced by this two-step procedure. This was done because the purity was not specified in the example. The yield obtained in conducting this procedure was 80% and the purity was 87.3%.
Example One: Preparing sodium 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)malonate (hereafter “STPM”) from dimethyl 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)malonate (hereafter “DTPM”)
To a 250 mL jacketed reactor was charged 25% sodium hydroxide (17.51 g, 109 mmol) and propan-2-ol (7.5 mL, 98 mmol). This reaction mixture was cooled to 10-15 °C. A mixture of dimethyl 2-(3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)malonate (15 g, 49.7 mmol, hereafter “DTPM”) and propan-2-ol (7.5 mL, 98 mmol) at 10-15 °C was slowly added (about 30 minutes) while maintaining the temperature of the reaction mixture between 10-15 °C. After this addition, the
reaction mixture was stirred at 15 °C for 30 minutes. The reaction mixture was then warmed to 21-23 °C and stirred for one hour until analysis by HPLC showed that the reaction was complete.
The reaction mixture was then cooled to 15 °C and propan-2-ol (45 mL, 589 mmol) was slowly added while stirring at 15 °C over 30 minutes. The resulting slurry was stirred for an additional one hour at 15 °C. Afterwards, propan-2-ol (60 mL, 785 mmol) was slowly added over 20 minutes at 15 °C and was stirred for three hours at 15 °C. The slurry was cooled to 5 °C and stirred for one hour. The slurry was filtered. The resulting solid was washed with propan-2- ol; the white filter cake was dried under nitrogen (N2)/vacuum for 30 minutes and then was dried under vacuum at 40 °C for 48 hours. The product, sodium 2-(3-trifluoromethyl)phenyl)malonate (14.3 g, 46.9 mmol, 94% yield) was obtained as a white solid (95.78 wt % purity).
The procedure as in Example One was conducted four other times except that instead of using propan-2-ol, a different solvent selected from methanol, ethanol, 1 -propanol, and n- butanol, was used.
A summary of the results of prior art example, the results of Example One, and the results of using the procedures of Example One with different solvents, is disclosed in Table One.
As can be seen from Table One, propan-2-ol is much better than the prior art example which is a two-step process with toluene as the solvent. In fact, the yield was 14% better, and the purity was almost 10% better. Furthermore, propan-2-ol provides much better yields and purity than any of the other solvents (methanol, ethanol, 1 -propanol, or //-butanol).
