Technical background: phenoxy acetic acid ester is the very important compound of a class, they are widely used in medicine and agricultural chemicals.For example, CN102718727 discloses the activator that both can be used as glucokinase containing the phenoxy acetic acid ester compound of urea groups, can be used as again the activated receptor activator of peroxidase vegetation.CN102532058 discloses containing the phenoxy acetic acid ester compound of benzo [1,2,3] thiadiazoles-7-carboxylic acid ester groups and can be used as Plant activator.In addition, 2-(5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic ester is also the important intermediate of synthetic N-phenyl phthalmide weedicide flumioxazin.
The method of synthetic phenoxy acetic acid ester compound has two kinds conventionally.The first is the nucleophilic substitution reaction based on phenol compound and halogenated acetic acids ester, and the second is the aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction based on halogenated aryl hydrocarbon and oxyacetic acid ester compound.
There is nucleophilic substitution reaction in G.C.Finger report 3-fluorophenol and Mono Chloro Acetic Acid for example under sodium hydroxide effect, generates 3-fluorobenzene fluoroacetic acid, and yield is 73%.Then nitrated 2-(5-fluoro-2, the 4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic acid that obtains of 3-fluorobenzene fluoroacetic acid, yield is 30%.(J.Am.Chem.Soc,1959,81,1,94-101)。Although this method can be prepared 2-(5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic acid, raw material 3-fluorophenol used is more expensive, and overall yield is low.
EP0415641 discloses taking the fluoro-2-nitrophenols of 5-as starting raw material, and under the effect of salt of wormwood, with methyl bromoacetate generation nucleophilic substitution reaction, yield is 93%.Then the further nitrated generation 2-of the fluoro-2-nitrophenoxyacetic acid of 5-ester (5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) methyl acetate, yield is 98%.Although this method overall yield is higher, use the fluoro-2-nitrophenols of expensive 5-, therefore and be unfavorable for suitability for industrialized production another kind of raw material methyl bromoacetate has strong impulse effect to eyes, skin, mucous membrane and respiratory tract.
JP1989075452 and EP0237899 disclose the synthetic method of another kind of 2-(5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic ester.The method is chloro-2 with 1,5-bis-, and 4-dinitrobenzene is starting raw material, first with glycolic acid esters back flow reaction in salt of wormwood, crown ether and acetonitrile system, generates 2-(5-chloro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic ester, and yield is 73.9%.The 2-that obtains (5-chloro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic ester carries out fluoridation again in DMSO with Potassium monofluoride, generate 2-(5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic ester, and yield is 89.9%.The method has successfully been utilized the sucting electronic effect of dinitrobenzene on phenyl ring, and aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction can be carried out.But the method is used expensive glycolic acid esters as raw material, simultaneously because chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons activity is not high, so the first step productive rate is not ideal enough.In addition in order to obtain 2-(5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic ester, need further fluoridation.This fluoridation requires higher to conversion unit, produce the sulfur-bearing three wastes, is unfavorable for suitability for industrialized production.
JP1992305556 discloses with 1,5-bis-fluoro-2 simultaneously, and 4-dinitrobenzene is raw material, under the effect of the triethylamine of salt of wormwood and catalytic amount, there is aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction with Butyl Glycolate, generate 2-(5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) butylacetate, yield is 92%.This method has solved chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons and the not high problem of glycolic acid esters reaction yield, but the raw material Butyl Glycolate using is expensive.
EP0237899 also discloses with 1,5-bis-fluoro-2, and 4-dinitrobenzene and oxyacetic acid are raw material, under alkali effect, aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction occur, and generates 2-(5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic acid.But concrete reactions steps and yield are not open.CN101948389 uses same processing method subsequently, and fluoro-2 with 1,5-bis-, 4-dinitrobenzene and oxyacetic acid are raw material, and under alkali effect, reaction generates 2-(5-fluoro-2,4-2,4-dinitrophenoxy) acetic acid, and yield is between 28-81%.Fluoro-2 due to 1,5-bis-, 4-dinitrobenzene is quite active under alkaline condition, if there is any water in reaction system, water meeting and oxyacetic acid generation competing reaction, first hydrolysis produces nitrophenols by product, and this by product causes poisoning of catalyst in hydrogenation reaction subsequently.Therefore, this technique needs the strict moisture of controlling raw material, alkali and whole system.Raw material oxyacetic acid is easy deliquescence in air not only, and high temperature easily decomposes while dewatering.All of these factors taken together causes this method to be unfavorable for suitability for industrialized production.
Summary of the invention
One of object of the present invention is to overcome the existing deficiency of preparing phenoxy acetic acid intermediate technology, from the hydroxy acid solution and the organic amine that are cheaply easy to get, and dehydration salify, then react synthetic phenoxy acetic acid with halogenated aryl hydrocarbon.This invention has not only solved the high problem of anhydrous oxyacetic acid cost, has effectively controlled the moisture in reaction system simultaneously.Not only suppress so to a great extent to produce in aromatic nucleophilic substitution reaction hydrolysising by-product nitrophenols, improved reaction yield simultaneously.Another object of the present invention is on the novel process basis of preparing at phenoxy acetic acid, further to develop the more efficient synthesis of phenoxy acetic acid ester.
