Detailed Description
In order to make the technical scheme of the present invention better understood by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Examples:
Referring to FIG. 1, a process for preparing 4,6, 7-trifluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid comprises the steps of:
S1, dropwise adding sodium nitrite solution into a mixture of 2,3, 5-trifluoroaniline and inorganic acid to carry out diazonium reaction, adding a reducing agent to carry out reduction reaction after the diazonium reaction is finished, and finally refining to obtain the 2,3, 5-trifluorophenylhydrazine. The reaction temperature of the diazo reaction is 0-10 ℃, and the reaction temperature of the reduction reaction is 0-30 ℃; the molar ratio of the 2,3, 5-trifluoroaniline, the inorganic salt, the sodium nitrite and the reducing agent is 1:2.0-4.0:1.0-2.0:0.5-3.0; the inorganic acid is hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid or acetic acid, and the reducing agent is sodium sulfite, sodium bisulphite or tin dichloride.
In the specific embodiment, 50.0 g (corresponding to 0.34 mol) of 2,3, 5-trifluoroaniline is firstly accurately weighed in a room temperature environment, and the method is an organic raw material with special chemical property and structure, and has wide application prospect in the fields of medicine, pesticide and material science; subsequently, 124.0 g (calculated to contain 1.02 mol of pure hydrochloric acid) of a 30% hydrochloric acid solution was measured, which not only served as reaction medium, but also acted as catalyst, which was essential for the subsequent diazotisation reaction.
The two raw materials are transferred into a dry and clean three-neck flask, and a stirring device is started to fully and uniformly mix the two raw materials to form a uniform reaction system. In order to ensure that the subsequent reaction can be carried out under the optimal condition, a cooling device is adopted to slowly reduce the temperature of the reaction liquid to a low temperature range of 0-5 ℃, and the step is important to control the reaction rate and reduce the generation of byproducts.
Under the low-temperature environment, 130.0 g (converted to contain 0.374 mol of sodium nitrite) of 20% sodium nitrite solution is slowly added into a three-neck flask in a dropwise adding mode, and in the dropwise adding process, the change of a reaction system is closely focused, so that moderate dropping speed is ensured, and side reactions caused by overhigh local concentration are avoided.
After the dripping is completed, keeping the temperature of the reaction system at a low temperature for about 2 hours, giving enough time for the reactants to perform sufficient diazotization reaction, and successfully preparing the target product, namely diazonium salt solution after the diazotization reaction is completed. The solution presents special color and property, and provides important raw materials and intermediates for subsequent organic synthesis reaction.
At room temperature, 97.0 g of sodium bisulphite (the amount of which is precisely calculated to be 0.935 mol) is accurately weighed, which is a salt commonly used in chemical synthesis and has specific chemical properties and reactivity, and the sodium bisulphite is slowly added into 250 g of purified water prepared in advance, and a stirring device is started, so that solid particles can be quickly and uniformly dissolved in water, and a clear and transparent sodium bisulphite solution is formed.
In order to adjust the pH of the solution to a specific range, a 30% strength sodium hydroxide solution was used as the regulator. The pH of the sodium bisulphite solution was adjusted to 6 by dropwise addition of sodium hydroxide solution and monitoring the pH of the solution in real time, which is critical for the subsequent diazotisation reaction and the stability of its product.
Immediately after the solution reached the desired pH, the sodium bisulfite solution was cooled to a low temperature of 0-5 ℃ to slow down the reaction rate and facilitate adequate contact and reaction of the reactants, followed by dropwise addition of the already carefully prepared diazonium salt solution to the cooled sodium bisulfite solution. In order to maintain the PH of the reaction system at ph=6, sodium hydroxide solution was simultaneously added dropwise to neutralize acidic substances generated by the addition of diazonium salt.
After the completion of the dropping process, the reaction system was returned to room temperature and kept at that condition for 6 to 8 hours to ensure that the diazotization reaction and the subsequent chemical reactions thereof were sufficiently and thoroughly carried out. Through the series of precise operations and fine regulation, the mixed solution in the expectation is finally obtained, and the solution not only provides important raw materials and intermediates for the subsequent chemical synthesis step, but also fully shows the necessity and importance of precise control on the reaction conditions in the chemical experiment.
In the mixed solution system, the pH value of the solution is accurately adjusted to 3 by accurately controlling the adding amount of the concentrated hydrochloric acid. The key point of the step is that non-target compounds in the mixed solution are separated out in the form of salt or the solubility of the non-target compounds is changed by utilizing the acid-base reaction principle, and the target compounds 2,3, 5-trifluoro-phenylhydrazine can be kept relatively stable or slightly changed.
And then fully mixing the solution by mechanical stirring to ensure that the acid-base reaction is uniformly carried out and promote the effective precipitation of solids. After the completion of the stirring, the solid-liquid two phases were successfully separated by a fine filtration operation, to obtain a solid mixture containing the objective product and possible impurities.
Next, in order to further extract pure 2,3, 5-trifluorophenylhydrazine from the solid, the resulting solid was redissolved in a suitable amount of deionized water to form a new aqueous system. Subsequently, a sodium hydroxide solution was slowly added dropwise to this aqueous system, and the pH of the solution was continuously monitored until it reached around 8. This step aims at advantageously changing the solubility of the target compound 2,3, 5-trifluoro-phenylhydrazine by adjusting the alkaline environment of the solution, thereby facilitating the subsequent extraction and separation.
After the pH adjustment is completed, dichloromethane is selected as an extractant, and the dichloromethane has good selectivity and solubility to a target product. The target product is efficiently transferred from the aqueous phase to the organic phase by multiple extraction operations. Then, the methylene dichloride solution containing the target product is concentrated, most of the solvent is evaporated, and finally the relatively pure 2,3, 5-trifluoro phenylhydrazine product is obtained, the weight of the product is 16.87 g, and the corresponding yield is about 80%.

S2, mixing the 2,3, 5-trifluoro phenylhydrazine obtained in the step with toluene or xylene to obtain a mixed solution, and carrying out reflux reaction on the mixed solution and methyl acetoacetate under an acidic condition to obtain phenylhydrazone; adding phenylhydrazone, a solvent and a reducing agent into a three-neck flask, and preparing 4,6, 7-trifluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester through rearrangement and deamination;
The reaction temperature of S2 is 100-115 ℃ or 130-150 ℃; the molar ratio of 2,3, 5-trifluoro phenylhydrazine to methyl acetoacetate is 1:1.0-2.0; the solvent is ethanol, dimethylformamide or dichloromethane; the reducing agent is zinc chloride, acetic acid, hydrochloric acid, activated clay, zinc powder, hydrochloric acid, polyphosphoric acid, zinc chloride, polyphosphoric acid, boron trifluoride acetic acid solution, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid and cuprous chloride.
In a specific embodiment, methyl pyruvic acid-2, 3, 5-trifluoro phenylhydrazone is prepared by reacting 2,3, 5-trifluoro phenylhydrazine with methyl acetoacetate under the condition of room temperature. First, 20.0 grams (i.e., 0.123 mol) of 2,3, 5-trifluorophenylhydrazine, an important organic synthetic intermediate, has a unique fluorine substituent, and imparts its special chemical properties. 2,3, 5-trifluoro-phenylhydrazine was then added to a 500 ml three-necked flask containing 100ml of toluene solvent. Toluene is used as a reaction solvent, so that reactants can be effectively dissolved, and a proper reaction environment can be provided.
After stirring sufficiently to ensure uniform dispersion of 2,3, 5-trifluorophenylhydrazine in toluene, 17.18 g (i.e., 0.148 mole) of methyl acetoacetate was accurately measured and slowly added to the reaction system via a dropping funnel. This step requires careful control of the drop rate to ensure that the reaction proceeds smoothly and to avoid side reactions caused by local overheating or too fast a reaction.
After the completion of the dropwise addition, the whole system was heated uniformly to a reflux state. Reflux is a heating mode commonly used in chemical experiments, and can effectively utilize the steam heat of a solvent to keep a reaction system within a constant temperature range, thereby being beneficial to the reaction. Under this condition, the reaction mixture was allowed to react for 5 hours with heat preservation to ensure that the reaction was sufficiently carried out, and after the completion of the reaction, most of the solvent and unreacted raw materials in the reaction system were removed by a concentration technique such as distillation under reduced pressure, to finally obtain crude methyl pyruvic acid-2, 3, 5-trifluorophenylhydrazone having a weight of 30.0 g. Although the product at this stage is crude and contains some impurities, it has provided an important raw material basis for the subsequent purification steps.
The crude methyl pyruvic acid-2, 3, 5-trifluoro phenylhydrazone obtained in the previous step, 200ml of ethanol as a solvent and 5.0 g of ZnC l 2 (as a catalyst) were sequentially added to a 500 ml three-necked flask. The addition of ethanol not only provides the necessary dissolution environment for the reaction, but also helps promote adequate contact and reaction of the reactants. Subsequently, the reaction mixture was thoroughly stirred using a magnetic stirrer to ensure uniform mixing of all the components to form a uniform reaction system, during which the reactants were observed to gradually dissolve in ethanol to form a pale yellow or pale brown solution. Then, the reaction system was gradually warmed to a reflux state. The reflux operation helps to maintain the temperature in the reaction system stable and to accelerate the reaction rate. And (3) maintaining the reflux state, and simultaneously carrying out heat preservation treatment on the reaction until the raw materials are completely reacted. In this process, the temperature change of the reaction system and the progress of the reaction are required to be closely focused, and if necessary, the reaction end point can be confirmed by sampling analysis.
After the reaction was completed, the reaction system was naturally cooled to room temperature. At this point, the reaction products and possibly by-products will precipitate as solids or as precipitates. The solid product can be separated from the solvent and unreacted raw materials in the reaction liquid by the filtration operation. The solid obtained after filtration was 4,6, 7-trifluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester, which was dried and weighed to 18.0 g, corresponding to a yield of about 80%.

S3, dissolving the 4,6, 7-trifluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid methyl ester obtained in the S2, then reacting with sodium hydroxide solution, purifying after the reaction is finished to obtain the 4,6, 7-trifluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid, wherein the reaction temperature of the reaction is 70-100 ℃.
In a specific embodiment, 18.0 g of crude methyl 4,6, 7-trifluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylate was precisely weighed as a starting material at room temperature, and then added to a 250 ml three-necked flask together with 50 ml of ethanol. Ethanol is used as a solvent, which not only contributes to the dissolution of the raw materials, but also provides a good reaction medium.
Next, 40.0 g (i.e., 0.25 mol) of 25% sodium hydroxide solution was slowly added to the reaction system. Sodium hydroxide acts as a strong base and serves to catalyze the hydrolysis in this reaction, converting methyl ester groups to carboxylic acid groups. Continuous stirring is required during the addition to ensure adequate mixing of the sodium hydroxide solution with the reactants and to control the rate of addition to avoid localized overheating.
After stirring uniformly, the reaction system is gradually heated to a reflux state. The refluxing operation helps to keep the temperature in the reaction system constant and promotes the hydrolysis reaction. And (3) maintaining the reflux state, and simultaneously carrying out heat preservation treatment on the reaction until the raw materials are completely reacted. In the reaction process, the reaction progress needs to be periodically sampled and detected to ensure that the reaction is fully carried out.
After the reaction is completed, the reaction system is naturally cooled to room temperature, and concentrated to remove most of the ethanol solvent. Subsequently, the residue was extracted with dichloromethane to separate an organic layer. Then, the pH value of the aqueous layer was adjusted by adding an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid, and the produced 4,6, 7-trifluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid was precipitated as a salt. The solids were collected by filtration and washed with water thoroughly to remove residual impurities and solvents.
Finally, the filter cake was dried in an oven to constant weight to give 15.2 g of pure 4,6, 7-trifluoro-1H-indole-2-carboxylic acid in about 90% yield.
