Background
2,4, 5-Trifluoro-phenylacetic acid is an important intermediate for synthesizing sitagliptin, and the methods reported in the literature mainly comprise the following steps:
a. The synthesis of 2,4, 5-trifluorobromobenzene into Grignard reagent, coupling with allyl bromide, and oxidizing double bond to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluorophenylacetic acid is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3, 6870067, which discloses a synthesis method of trifluoropropyl acetic acid, wherein 2,4, 5-trifluorobromobenzene is prepared into Grignard reagent, reacted with allyl bromide, and oxidized with periodic acid under catalysis of trichloro nails to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluorophenylacetic acid. However, the Grignard reaction in the method usually adopts low-boiling point volatile solvents such as diethyl ether, is easy to explode, has poor production safety, unstable Grignard reagent and low product yield, and the catalyst ruthenium trichloride and oxidant periodic acid used are expensive, so that the method is not suitable for industrial production.
B. The preparation process of 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid includes chloromethylating 1,2, 4-trifluoro-benzene to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluoro-benzyl chloride, forming corresponding Grignard reagent, and reacting with carbon dioxide to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid, and Chinese patent CN101092345 discloses the preparation process of 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid, which includes chloromethylating 1,2, 4-trifluoro-benzene to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluoro-benzyl chloride, and reacting with carbon monoxide in the presence of catalyst to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid.
C. The preparation method comprises the steps of preparing 2,4, 5-trifluorobenzyl benzene from 1,2, 4-trifluorobenzyl benzene serving as a raw material through chloromethylation reaction of paraformaldehyde/zinc chloride/hydrochloric acid, directly carbonylating the 2,4, 5-trifluorobenzyl benzene under the catalysis of cobalt sodium tetracarbonyl and the action of CO/methanol/NaOH to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluorobenzyl acid, synthesizing 2011,18 (3) and 4-6 in literature, wherein m (C 6H3F3) is 1.0:0.875-0.865 when the 2,4, 5-trifluorobenzyl benzene is prepared from 1,2, 4-trifluorobenzyl acid serving as a raw material through chloromethylation, carbonylation and hydrolysis, and the reaction time is 10 h, and m (C 7H4F3 Cl) is 1:0.275-0.25 when the 2,4, 5-trifluorobenzyl acid is synthesized. Under the condition, the total yield of the product is above 60%, and the mass fraction of the 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid is above 99%. The method has strong chloromethylation reaction corrosiveness, serious pollution and lower yield. The catalyst of the carbonylation reaction, namely cobalt sodium tetracarbonyl, is high in price and not easy to obtain, and the catalyst and CO are extremely toxic, and the catalyst and CO need pressurizing equipment, so that certain industrialization difficulty exists.
D. Chinese patent CN116730824B discloses a synthesis method of 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid, which comprises the steps of mixing 1,2, 4-trifluoro-benzene with a catalyst AlCl 3, dropwise adding ethylene oxide liquid at the temperature of 5 ℃, heating to carry out Friedel-crafts alkylation reaction to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid, carrying out catalytic reaction on the 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid and hydrogen peroxide under the catalysis of sodium molybdate to obtain an oxidation product 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid, filtering the 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid, adding the filtered 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid into a sodium hydroxide solution, carrying out heat preservation stirring, cooling the standing liquid, adjusting acid, converting sodium trifluoro-phenylacetate into free acid, crystallizing, filtering and drying to obtain 2,4, 5-trifluoro-phenylacetic acid solid. However, ethylene oxide is inflammable, explosive, toxic and poor in safety, meanwhile, the temperature of Friedel-crafts reaction is 100-120 ℃, the reaction condition is more severe, the selectivity of the polysubstituted Friedel-crafts alkylated impurities is higher, so that the impurities of the product are more, sodium aluminate is used as a catalyst, and the safety is poor.
In summary, the existing preparation method of 2,4, 5-trifluoro phenylacetic acid has the following problems that 1, the prepared intermediate format reagent is unstable, the yield of the final product is about 60%, the reaction yield is low, and the raw materials such as ruthenium trichloride serving as a catalyst and periodic acid serving as an oxidant are expensive. 2. The chloromethylation process has the advantages of strong corrosiveness, more three wastes and the like, and is based on the purposes of improving the reaction yield, reducing the production cost, being good in environmental friendliness and the like.
