Description

Preparation method of glufosinate-ammonium
Technical Field
The application relates to the field of pesticide herbicides, in particular to a preparation method of glufosinate-ammonium.
Background
Glufosinate was developed and produced by the germany helter company under the chemical name 4- [ hydroxy (methyl) phosphono ] -DL-homoalanine, and is a glutamine synthesis inhibitor and a nonselective contact herbicide. The action mechanism is to inhibit the activity of glutamine synthetase in plants, which leads to the inhibition of glutamine synthesis, nitrogen metabolism disorder and ammonium ion accumulation, thus interfering with the metabolism of plants and leading to the death of the plants.
The glufosinate has the characteristics of wide weed control spectrum, low toxicity, high activity, good environmental compatibility, small drift and the like, and can prevent and kill more than 100 annual and perennial broadleaf weeds and grassy weeds such as crabgrass, ryegrass and the like. The active action speed of the herbicide is slower than that of paraquat but better than that of glyphosate, and the herbicide is a nonselective herbicide which coexists with the glyphosate and the paraquat.
The glufosinate-ammonium molecule contains a chiral carbon and has two different configurations, namely L-glufosinate-ammonium and D-glufosinate-ammonium, wherein only L-isomer has herbicidal activity, is easier to decompose in soil, has low toxicity to human beings and animals, and can greatly reduce environmental stress, so that the activity and the control effect on resistant weeds are better than those of common glufosinate-ammonium.
In recent years, with the remarkable problems of paraquat inhibition and glyphosate resistance, the global glufosinate resistance gene is further introduced into tens of crops such as rice, wheat, corn, beet, tobacco, soybean, cotton, potato, tomato, rape and sugarcane, and the like, so that the substitution process of glufosinate for the other two is accelerated. Although most of the glufosinate commercial products sold on the market at present are racemates thereof, with technical innovation and progress, the L-glufosinate enters the mainstream market to be impossible.
The existing method for preparing chiral pure L-glufosinate mainly comprises a chemical method and a biological method. Wherein the chemical method comprises a chemical resolution method and a chemical synthesis method.
The preparation of L-glufosinate by chemical synthesis can be further subdivided into: adopts an asymmetric synthesis method and a total synthesis method which takes L-amino acid obtained by natural or fermentation as a raw material. The latter has high purity chiral center, so that the method has more convenient synthetic route and good ee value maintaining characteristic than other methods, and is more and more important for domestic and foreign enterprises and research institutions.
The patent specification with publication number of US5442088A discloses a method for obtaining L-glufosinate-ammonium hydrochloride by performing ring-opening chlorination, esterification and Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction on amino-protected L-homoserine lactone serving as a raw material and methyl phosphorous diester, and finally hydrolyzing and refining.
Figure BDA0004162995390000021
The multistep reaction process unit is convenient to operate, but the activity of chlorinated substrates of Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction raw materials is low, the process can be usually carried out at a high temperature, meanwhile, the chlorinated alkane byproducts and methyl phosphodiester are subjected to side reaction at a high temperature, so that the unit consumption is greatly increased, and in addition, the excessive value of L-type enantiomers is reduced due to racemization of part of raw materials or products.
Patent specification publication No. CN113490671B discloses: amino protected or unprotected halogenated homoserine ester is taken as a raw material, condensed with methyl phosphonite monochloro ester, cyclized by intramolecular Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction to obtain an intermediate, and then hydrolyzed to obtain the L-glufosinate-ammonium.
Figure BDA0004162995390000022
In the synthetic route, the Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction inevitably generates halogenated hydrocarbons, the small-molecule halogenated hydrocarbons are 3 types of carcinogens and have a destructive effect on ozone in the atmosphere, and in addition, diethyl methylphosphinate is still needed for in-situ preparation of monochloromethylphosphonate.
The patent with the application number of CN202310033931.0 provides a synthetic route for preparing glufosinate-ammonium by taking halogenated homoserine and derivatives thereof as raw materials, condensing, cyclization, hydrolysis and refining with methyl phosphoramidite and analogues thereof. The route can avoid halogenated hydrocarbon byproducts in Michaelis-Arbuzov reaction due to different reaction mechanisms, and the reaction temperature is reduced due to the improvement of the activity of a reaction substrate, so that the L-configuration content of a product is improved, but the hydrolysis process of the method brings ammonium salt and other byproducts which are unfavorable for the purification of the product and the improvement of the yield.
In recent years, with the problems of paraquat forbidden and glyphosate resistance, the demand of glufosinate is increased year by year, so that the development of the glufosinate synthesis method which has the advantages of mild reaction conditions, higher yield, lower cost and simple operation has extremely important significance for herbicide use reduction and synergy.
