Background technology
Difluoroethanol contains the special construction of difluoromethyl, therefore makes its different in kind in other alcohols, can participate in multiple organic synthesis, is particularly useful for synthetic fluorine-containing medicine, agricultural chemicals and dyestuff, is one of important intermediate of fluorine-containing fine chemicals.2,2-difluoroethanol normal temperature is down colourless liquid, 96 ℃ of boiling points, and fusing point-28.2 ℃, relative density 1.71, specific refractory power 1.338, acid suitable with phenol, water-soluble, sour, ethanol, ether equal solvent, poisonous, stable in properties.
The synthesis method of now existing difluoroethanol, as follows:
People such as W.G.Reifenrath [W.G.Reifenrath. J.Med Chem., 23 (9), (1980), 985-990], and people [Booth, Harold such as Booth Harold; Readshaw, Simon A. Tetrahedron, 1990, vol.46, #6p. 2097-2110] in the anhydrous diethyl ether solvent, realized reduction equally to difluoroacetic acid with the methyl boron mercaptide.
People [Schrems, Otto such as Schrems Otto; Oberhoffer, Helmut M. Journal of Physical Chemistry, 1984, vol.88, #19p.4335-4342] with tetrahydrochysene lithium aluminium difluoroacetic acid is reduced into difluoroethanol.
With NaBH
4– ZnCl
2System can be reduced to difluoroethanol with difluoroacetic acid under the reflux state very smoothly in THF, the NaBH of stoichiometry such as a reaction needs
4With ZnCl
2[Mariappan Periasamy. Journal of Organometallic Chemistry2000, (609): 137 – 151]; With NaBH
4– I
2The reduction system difluoroacetic acid is a solvent with THF, can obtain difluoroethanol at ambient temperature.[Lv Hongfei, Bian Ming open favour. chemistry and bonding, 2007,29 (4): 284-288]; With NaBH
4– ZrCl
4System at room temperature also can be reduced to alcohol with acid, can obtain higher productive rate.[M..Lewis.?J?Chem?Res.,Miniprint,?2001,(8):844-856]。
The shortcoming of above synthesis method is that the market price of some reagent is higher in the reaction, causes its synthetic cost to improve; And the last handling process of difluoroethanol reaction is wanted the water cancellation, because difluoroethanol and water sepn difficulty cause its productive rate obviously to descend, makes it in suitability for industrialized production, can not obtain higher income, this method only be applicable to batch than hour preparation.
O is starting raw material than people [patent France200680047867] such as Xi Na, R Corvidaes with two fluoracyl chlorides; It is characterized in that catalyzer that this method is included in significant quantity exists hydrogenation down to meet the acetyl halide of following formula, this catalyzer comprises at least a periodictable VIII family element that is deposited on the electrodeless carrier of the solid with acid matter.In said formula, X representes the halogen atom except that fluorine atom.
The shortcoming of this synthesis method is that the market price of catalyzer is expensive, will consider synthetic cost aspect selection of catalysts and the consumption; And reaction will be carried out under certain pressure, and condition is comparatively harsh, and is not economic and practical in suitability for industrialized production.
Gloomy 4 to the 8 purpose gacs that just waited people [patent JP61268639] will be adsorbed with massfraction 0.5% with RfCOX are packed into the reaction tubes of one meter of internal diameter 1 cm long; Put in the reaction unit of 170 ℃ of thermostatically heating; Feed difluoro carboxylic acid halides and hydrogen to reactor; React 24 h, can obtain corresponding fluoroethanol.
The shortcoming of this synthesis method is, owing to be gas-phase reaction, makes its bad control in reaction process, and reaction treating processes in early stage and reaction unit are all comparatively complicated, and it is not economic and practical to take all factors into consideration this working method.
People such as Lewis [Lewis. J Chem Res., Miniprint 8 (2001), 844-856] obtain difluoroethanol through the sodium borohydride reduction ethyl difluoro; People [Tamura, Kenji such as Tamura Kenji; Yamazaki; Takashi. Journal of Fluorine Chemistry; 2005; Vol.126; #6p.918-930] and [patent EP2298723A1; 2011], and equally ethyl difluoro is reduced into difluoroethanol with sodium methoxide respectively through in tetrahydrofuran solution, reacting with tetrahydrochysene lithium aluminium.[patent EP1820789A1,2007] feed H through with catalyst rhodium/carbon in autoclave
2The reduction of difluoroacetic acid methyl esters is obtained difluoroethanol.People such as Henne [JACS, 74 (1952), 1426-8] and [patent US221859A1,2009] prepare difluoroethanol with hydride reduction two fluoracyl chlorides and difluoro chloroacetyl chloride.
The shortcoming of this type of reduction reaction is that post-processing stages needs water to carry out cancellation, and then uses ether extration; Cause productive rate obviously to descend; And also contain a certain amount of moisture in the difluoroethanol extract, water and difluoroethanol azeotropic are difficult to obtain the lower product of water content.The gas phase reaction under high pressure, conversion unit is had relatively high expectations, and reaction treating processes in early stage and reaction unit are all comparatively complicated.
People [Smith, Peter such as Smith Peter; Donovan, William H. Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, 1995, vol.33, #5p.395 – 405] through using the catalyzer titanium chloride, vinylidene is made difluoroethanol with hydroperoxidation.
The shortcoming of this type of reaction is, catalyzer market price is more expensive, and hydrogen peroxide agent is dangerous, and reactant is gas, and certain difficulty is arranged in the operation, and productive rate is undesirable.
In sum, these reactions or some cocatalyst, solvent market price are higher, cause its synthetic cost to improve; Or the method more complicated is closed in some reaction; Or have the comparatively shortcoming of difficulty of difluoroethanol last handling process, and totally cause its productive rate obviously to descend, can not make high-quality product.
