Method for continuously synthesizing buprofezin

The invention discloses a method for continuously synthesizing buprofezin, and belongs to the technical field of chemical synthesis. The method for continuously synthesizing buprofezin comprises the following steps: S1, continuously acylating N-methylaniline and phosgene in a solvent, and continuously deacidifying to obtain an acyl chloride solution; S2, carrying out continuous chlorination and continuous deacidification on the acyl chloride solution and chlorine under the action of an initiator to obtain a chloride solution; S3, adding buprothiourea, a catalyst and an acid-binding agent intothe chloride solution, carrying out continuous mixing reaction, crystallizing and drying a reaction product to obtain buprofezin of which the content is greater than or equal to 99.0% and the total yield is greater than or equal to 88% based on N-methylaniline. The method for continuously synthesizing buprofezin solves the defects caused by batch production in China, has the advantages of continuous reaction, high automation degree, small equipment size, high operation safety, few side reaction products, high conversion rate and good product quality, can effectively improve the production efficiency and reduce the production cost, and has very good popularization and application values.

Buprofenzin process for the preparation of

The invention relates to a preparation method of buprofezin, which comprises the following steps of actinism, chlorination, synthesis and distillation crystallization. The actinism step employs dioxane or chloroform, the chlorination step employs dioxane or N-chloromethyl-N-phenyl carbamyl chloride as a solvent; and the synthesis step employs organic amine to participate in condensation. According to the invention, dioxane, chloroform or N-chloromethyl-N-phenyl carbamyl chloride are employed as the solvents, so that good dissolving performance is provided to the raw material, and the dioxane, chloroform or N-chloromethyl-N-phenyl carbamyl chloride has little solubility to HCL and is in favor of reaction, the production yield can reach as high as more than 82%; organic amine is employed for replacing ammonium bicarbonate as alkali for synthesis reaction, and can be recovered so that the discharge of ammonia nitrogen in waste water is reduced.
