Pyraclostrobin crystal form and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of medical crystallization, and particularly relates to a pyraclostrobin crystal form and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Pyraclostrobin (pyraclostatin), also known as Pyraclostrobin, N-methoxy-N-2- [ l- (4-chlorophenyl) -3-pyrazolyloxymethyl]Phenyl carbamic acid methyl ester of formula C19H18ClN3O4Molecular weight is 387.82, and chemical structural formula is:
pyraclostrobin is a Strobilurin fungicide that was first developed and synthesized by BASF corporation, germany, for controlling phytopathogenic fungi. It achieves the bactericidal effect by inhibiting the respiration of the mitochondria of fungi. Acting on the Qo-center of cytochrome b blocks the transfer of electrons from cytochrome b to cytochrome c1, thereby preventing the production of ATP. The low degree, high efficiency and broad spectrum of pyraclostrobin are not available for other classes of fungicides. The worldwide sales in 2011 reaches $ 7.9 million, and is the second place in the methoxy acrylate bactericide market. In 2004-2013, the composite annual growth rate is as high as 13.61%, which is more than twice of the composite annual growth rate of 6.51% in the global crop pesticide market.
Pyraclostrobin was used as a seed treatment agent by monsanto in 2009 with consent from basf. 31 months and 3 years in 2013, the 250g/L pyraclostrobin EC obtains formal registration of 'plant health effect' on corn in China. Pyraclostrobin not only has broad-spectrum bactericidal activity, but also is a plant health care product, is the first product registered for plant health action by the United states environmental protection agency, European Union and China, is a model of a new concept of 'treating diseases and strengthening bodies without diseases', and is about to become a hotspot and focus of scientific research and market attention.
At present, pyraclostrobin is obtained by taking o-nitrotoluene as an initial raw material and performing condensation reaction with 1- (4-halogenated phenyl) -3-pyrazole alcohol by a condensation method or a post-condensation method. Because the product directly obtained in the last stage is a brownish red oily substance, the market pyraclostrobin with stable property can be obtained only by further crystallization process.
Patent CN 101203136a discloses four crystal forms of pyraclostrobin. The pyraclostrobin crystal IV is prepared by taking a mixture of a completely water-soluble organic solvent and water as a solvent for cooling crystallization or taking water as an anti-solvent for elution crystallization, and becomes the most stable crystal form of pyraclostrobin. Form I is typically prepared by cooling a melt of pyraclostrobin with a purity of at least 95%. The preparation method of the crystal form II is similar to that of the crystal form IV, but the duration of the crystallization process is shorter than that of the crystal form IV. Form III, however, is prepared by maintaining the melt at room temperature for a longer period of time, similar to the preparation of form I. The patent also proposes the use of form II or form IV in combination with a suitable liquid phase and a carrier for the preparation of aqueous suspension concentrates for crop protection. In patent CN 1025955879B, pyraclostrobin and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid are prepared into a crystalline complex (the molar ratio is 2: 1-1: 1), and compared with the single pesticide, the melting point is remarkably improved, so that the preparation method is more beneficial to the production of suspension concentrates, emulsion concentrates and granular preparations. The patent CN 104365590A discloses a method for continuously preparing pyraclostrobin suspending agent, and the obtained product has high raw material utilization rate, good performance and low cost.
In conclusion, pyraclostrobin has attracted extensive attention and application due to its excellent bactericidal activity and plant growth promoting health effect. In the developed crystal forms, the crystal form I and the crystal form III both use a melt crystallization method, and are not suitable for industrial production due to long production period of melt crystallization, difficult control of operation conditions and low crystallinity of the obtained crystals; the crystal form II is a metastable state of the crystal form IV, the instability of the crystal form II also determines that the crystal form II is not suitable for large-scale industrial production, and the product of the crystal form IV is often accompanied with the existence of the crystal form II, so that the purity is reduced. And in terms of the crystal form obtained at present, the granularity is often small, the fluidity is poor, and the processing of pesticide preparations is not facilitated.
Therefore, the pyraclostrobin crystal form which is unique in crystal form, good in stability, high in crystallinity, large in particle size, good in fluidity and good in water solubility needs to be invented, and the preparation period is shortened, so that the pyraclostrobin crystal form can be better applied to industrial production.

The invention discloses a new pyraclostrobin crystal form, wherein an X-ray powder diffraction pattern of the new pyraclostrobin crystal form has characteristic peaks at diffraction angles 2 theta of 9.3 +/-0.1, 14.5 +/-0.1, 14.7 +/-0.1, 15.0 +/-0.1, 18.0 +/-0.1, 18.4 +/-0.1, 18.7 +/-0.1, 22.2 +/-0.1, 22.6 +/-0.1, 24.8 +/-0.1 and 25.8 +/-0.1 degrees, which are shown in figure 1.

The pyraclostrobin crystal has a characteristic endothermic peak at 64.3 +/-3 ℃ in a Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) spectrum, is the melting point of the crystal, and is shown in figure 2.
The preparation method of the new pyraclostrobin crystal form comprises the following steps of: dissolving pyraclostrobin in an organic solvent to form a clear solution, wherein the concentration of the solution is 0.001-0.1 g/mL, evaporating and crystallizing at 30-50 ℃, stopping evaporation until the residual volume of the solution is 50-80% of the initial volume of the solution, then cooling and crystallizing, cooling the material to-5 ℃, maintaining for 0.5-2 hr, filtering, washing and drying crystal slurry to obtain the pyraclostrobin crystal form.
The organic solvent is selected from A solvent or the mixed solvent of A solvent and B solvent. Wherein the A-type solvent is one or a mixture of cyclohexane, n-hexane and n-octane; the B solvent is selected from one of methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, acetonitrile, acetic acid, acetone, dichloromethane, methyl tert-butyl ether or ethyl acetate, and in the mixed solvent of the A solvent and the B solvent, the volume fraction of the A solvent is more than or equal to 50%.
In the method, the seed crystal is added when the solution is evaporated until the residual volume of the solution is 85-95% of the initial volume of the solution, and the addition amount of the seed crystal is 5-10% of the mass of the initial pyraclostrobin.
In the method, the operation time of evaporation crystallization is 2-6 hr.
In the method, the cooling rate of the cooling crystallization is 5-10 min/DEG C.
The washing liquid is selected from a solvent A used for crystallization, water or a mixture thereof.
The drying is carried out at 10-40 ℃ for 2-8 hr.
The pyraclostrobin crude product is dissolved in an organic solvent, and then is subjected to evaporative crystallization to saturate the solution, so that crystals are separated out, and the solubility of the product in the solvent can be further reduced by cooling crystallization, and the yield of the product is increased. Product nucleation growth is formed by evaporation of the solvent and a decrease in temperature. The driving force for nucleation and growth of crystals is the degree of supersaturation (Δ c ═ c-c)*Concentration-equilibrium concentration or solubility) resulting from evaporation of the solvent and reduction of temperature. The faster the evaporation or cooling rate, the faster the supersaturation increases, the easy explosion to form nuclei or oil, the product viscosity is larger,drying is difficult and the crystal purity is poor. According to the change rule of the solubility curve, the supersaturation degree is always in a uniform level, and a physical and chemical stable environment which is favorable for crystallization nucleation and growth is created, so that high process yield and good stability are ensured.
Compared with other crystal form processes, the method has the advantages of high crystal purity, mild conditions, good repeatability and short operation period. The yield of the crystallization process is 92-95%, and the purity of the product is 99.9% by HPLC detection. The crystal is white and rod-shaped, the surface is smooth and the edge is regular, the product has no coalescence, and the granularity is 150-200 mu m, as shown in figure 3. The solubility of the pyraclostrobin crystal in water at 20 ℃ is 0.000212g/100ml of water, the crystal form IV is 0.000198g/100ml of water, and the solubility is improved by 7.07%. The crystal has unique crystal form, good stability and water solubility, high crystallinity, large granularity, good fluidity and short preparation period.

The XRD pattern is expressed in the interplanar spacing d. The data of the XRD pattern expressed in diffraction angle 2 θ is converted into data expressed in interplanar spacing d according to the bragg equation n λ 2dsin θ.
