Use | Used as a pesticide intermediate 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine is an intermediate of imidacloprid and acetamiprid, referred to as monochloride, used to synthesize the next intermediate 2-chloro-5-chloromethylpyridine. |
production method | there are many synthesis methods of 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine. according to the different raw materials used, there are mainly the following three routes. Using N-benzyl-N-acrylylacetamide as raw material, N-benzyl-N-acrylylacetamide and phosphorus oxychloride were stirred and reacted at 100 ℃ for 16h to obtain 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine with 67.5% yield. Aminopyridine is used as raw material. The methanol solution of 2-amino-5-methylpyridine is first saturated with hydrogen chloride, and then the mixture of methyl nitrite and hydrogen chloride is introduced to obtain 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine. Methyl nitrite can also be replaced by nitroso chloride or chlorobenzene as a solvent. Using 3-methylpyridine-N-oxide as raw material. Depending on the chlorinating agent used, there are four different ways to choose from. Phosphorus oxychloride is used as chlorinating agent. 3-methylpyridine-N-oxide reacts with phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of an organic base to produce 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine, and has a by-product 2-chloro-3-methylpyridine. Add a certain amount of 3-methylpyridine-N-oxide and solvent into the reaction kettle, add phosphorus oxychloride and organic phosphorus at -10 ℃, after dropping, react at -2 ℃ for 5h, hydrolyze, desolvate, distill to obtain crude products, and then freeze and crystallize to obtain fine monochloride. COCl2 can also be used instead of POCl3 as chlorinating agent. N,N-diethylamino phosphorus oxychloride as chlorinating agent. At room temperature, a dichloromethane solution containing 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine-N-oxide was treated with N,N-diethylaminooxyphosphorus and diisopropylamine dissolved in dichloromethane to obtain a mixture containing 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine-82%, 2-chloro-3-methylpyridine-12% in 83% yields. Phthalyl chloride is used as chlorinating agent. Phthalyl chloride was added dropwise to a mixture containing 3-methylpyridine-N-oxide, triethylamine and dichloromethane for reaction to obtain a mixture containing 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine 84% and 2-chloro-3-methylpyridine 16% with 85% yields. Organic salt is used as intermediate. 2-chloro-5-methylpyridine can also be prepared from n-propionaldehyde, methyl acrylate and morpholine. At present, some domestic enterprises also adopt this method. |
