Synthesis method of bixafen
Technical Field
The invention belongs to a synthesis method of bixafen, and relates to a preparation method of bixafen serving as a pyrazole amide fungicide.
Background
The Bixafen is a pyrazole amide succinic acid dehydrogenation mediator inhibitor developed by Bayer company, the action mechanism of the Bixafen is a novel cereal bactericide, the mitochondrial inhibitor disturbs the electron transfer function of a complex II in respiration, the Bixafen mainly acts on the prevention and treatment of leaf rust and leaf spot, and is expected to become an important variety for the resistance treatment of the bactericide, and the Bixafen has the effects of 'incomparable', long-acting and broad-spectrum disease prevention and treatment with a mixture of prothioconazole. The compound agent has positive effects on plant physiology, can enhance stress resistance and increase yield, and combines the foliar protection of a patent emulsion formula to improve the crop coverage rate and rain resistance.
At present, two main methods exist for preparing bixafen, namely, a method for preparing intermediate 3 ', 4' -dichloro-5-fluoro-2-benzidine by carrying out Suzuki coupling reaction on 2-bromo-4-fluoroaniline and 3, 4-dichlorobenzoic acid serving as raw materials in the presence of a palladium catalyst. Then the benzidine intermediate and 1-methyl-3-difluoromethyl-4-pyrazole formyl chloride are subjected to acylation reaction to obtain the target product. The total yield of the route is about 63%, european patent WO2008145740 describes the method, but the raw materials 2-bromo-4-fluoroaniline and 3, 4-dichlorobenzoic acid adopted by the route are expensive, and the Suzuki reaction needs to adopt an expensive palladium catalyst, so that the technical scheme has high cost, is not beneficial to industrial production, and prevents the popularization of the high-efficiency pesticide variety.
The other is to construct benzidine intermediate by diazotizing 3, 4-dichloroaniline as raw material and coupling with p-fluoroaniline, then acylating with 1-methyl-3-difluoromethyl-4-pyrazole formyl chloride to generate target product with total yield of 55.8% (for example Chemistry-A European Journal,2012,18 (37): 11555-11559), but the coupling reaction of diazonium reagent and p-fluoroaniline by the method has extremely low conversion rate, the reaction process is not easy to control, a large amount of tar byproducts are generated in the reaction process, purification difficulty is caused in the subsequent process, and serious problems of large amount of solid waste and the like which are unfavorable for industrial production are caused. And then (Journal of Organic Chemistry,2014, vol.79, #5, 2314-2320) further improves the method, adopts stannous chloride to reduce diazonium salt to form biphenyl hydrazine hydrochloride solid, and then adds the biphenyl hydrazine hydrochloride solid into a reaction system for oxidative coupling, but the yield of the method is lower than 44%, the adopted stannous chloride is expensive and difficult to store, and in the practical application process, new tin metal oxychloride pollution is introduced into the nature, so that the method is unfavorable for realizing two principles of economy and environmental protection in industrial production.
