synthesis | the organic synthesis process of brospar mainly adopts the following methods: first, nitromethane and formaldehyde are condensed to form an intermediate, 2-nitro-1, 3-propanediol, and then bromination reaction is carried out with bromine to obtain brogopol product; second, the bromination reaction of nitromethane with bromine is carried out to prepare a bromitromethane intermediate, and a single brogopol product is obtained by directly condensing with formaldehyde. method-the process route of nitromethane and formaldehyde condensation first, and then bromination reaction with bromine to obtain brogpol product. The reaction mechanism of this process is as follows: FIG. 1 is the first synthesis method of brogopol. The use of this principle for the preparation of brospall reports, the first found in 223, in anhydrous alcohol, in the presence of alkali metal, the role of nitromethane and formaldehyde, condensation reaction, the resulting basic salt of the intermediate nitroalcohol was isolated and taken up in an organic solvent to give brogpole. Similar synthetic methods have been reported in Germany and France in 1970. methods the intermediate of bromonitromethane was prepared by bromination reaction of dinitromethane with bromine firstly, and the pure monobromonitro methane was directly condensed with formaldehyde to obtain the synthesis process of brogopol product. The process principle of this method is as follows: FIG. 2 is the second synthesis method of brolpol. In 1990, the United States and the United States in 1991, the preparation methods of halogenated nitroalcohols and brominated nitroalcohols were proposed successively. In this method, the bromination reaction of nitromethane with bromine is proposed to prepare a bromitromethane intermediate, and then a bromboer product with high purity is prepared by chemical reaction of bromonitromethane with formaldehyde. The intermediate monobromonitromethane obtained by this method is very stable and easy to purify. The obtained product has less impurity content, simple post-treatment, and does not require any organic solvent in the crystallization process. The product has large crystal size, good crystal form and high purity, which meets the requirements of British Pharmacopoeia BP2000 standard and can fully meet the needs of export. The yield of the process is about 88% ~ 90%. |
Process Improvement | The traditional synthesis method of brospall mainly through the first addition and then bromination, in the bromination reaction must use ethyl acetate, non-polar toxic flammable solvents such as carbon tetrachloride or dichloroethane; The formation of the basic salt of the intermediate nitroalcohol in the addition reaction is unstable, and these shortcomings are extremely unfavorable for industrial production. Therefore, it is necessary to improve the synthesis route, first of nitromethane bromination reaction to generate a stable intermediate product of bromonitromethane, and then the addition reaction to generate brogpo. The intermediate bromonitromethane synthesized by the new method is an important organic chemical product. At present, there is no production of this product in China, which has a very broad development prospect. |

production method | by nitromethane and formaldehyde, bromine reaction, there are two kinds of operation process. (1) nitromethane, 30% formaldehyde, calcium chloride and sodium hydroxide are added to the reaction device according to the molar ratio of 1:2:2:2, A solution of bromine and dichloroethane was added dropwise below 0 °c. After 1H addition, the amount of bromine was equimolar to nitromethane. The dichloroethane layer was separated and the dichloroethane was distilled off. A white solid (crude) was obtained. The aqueous layer of the reactant was extracted with ether, and the ether in the ether extract was distilled off to obtain a further portion of the crude product. The crude product was combined and recrystallized from diethyl ether to obtain a pure product. (2) preparation of 2-nitro-1, 3-propanediol The nitromethane and 30% formaldehyde solution are added to the Reflux reaction device at a molar ratio of 1:2, and then 2% potassium carbonate is added, heated and refluxed for 1H, cooled and crystallized. Extract with diethyl ether, dry, distill off diethyl ether to give 2-nitro-1, 3-propanediol. This was then dissolved in methanol, 20% sodium methoxide in methanol was added, and the mixture was stirred at 20 ° C. To precipitate sodium 2-nitro-1, 3-propanediol. The sodium salt is filtered off and suspended in dry diethyl ether for bromination: bromine is added dropwise to a suspension of sodium 2-nitro-1, 3-propanediol in diethyl ether below 0 °c, after dropping, stir for 10min. Filtration and evaporation of the ether gave 2-bromo-2-nitro-1, 3-propanediol. put metered amount of nitromethane, formaldehyde, water and ethanol into the reaction kettle, and add 40% liquid alkali Dropwise under cooling. At this time, solid precipitates out, part of the water and ethanol were distilled off under reduced pressure. After cooling, crystallization, filtration and drying, the yield of advanced bromonol was ≥ 70%, and the content was about 93%. |
