Practical Method For Manufacturing 3 3 Difluoro 2 Hydroxypropionic Acid
Abstract:
2Provided is a practical method for manufacturing 3 3 difluoro 2 hydroxypropionic acid which is important as an intermediate for medical and agricultural chemicals. By reacting a 4 4 difluoro 3 oxobutanoic acid ester with chlorine (Cl) a 4 4 difluoro 2 2 dichloro 3 oxobutanoic acid ester is obtained. By then reacting with an acid 3 3 difluoro 1 1 dichloro 2 propanone is obtained. Finally by reacting with a basic aqueous solution 3 3 difluoro 2 hydroxypropionic acid can be manufactured.

Specification
Entitled practical production method of 3,3-difluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid
Technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a practical method for producing 3,3-difluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid.
Background technique
[0002] 3,3-difluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid is an important compound as a pharmaceutical and agrochemical intermediates. For example, can be easily derived from the compound 3,3-difluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid amide, they are used as intermediates for phosphodiesterase 10 inhibitors (Patent Document 1).
[0003] As a typical preparation method of 3,3-difluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acids, there is a method oxidation decomposing furan skeleton (Non-patent Document 1).
[0004] As a conventional technique related to the chlorination step of the present invention, the 4,4,4-trifluoro-3-oxobutanoic acid ester from 4,4,4-trifluoro-2,2-dichloro-3-oxobutanoic acid ester there is a method for producing (Patent Document 2, non-Patent Document 2).
[0005] As the prior art related to reducing coal process of the present invention, 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,1 from 4,4,4-trifluoro-2,2-dichloro-3-oxobutanoic acid ester there is a method of producing a dichloro-2-propanone (Patent Document 2).
[0006] Further, as the prior art related to the pressurized alkali decomposition process of the present invention, 3,3,3 trifluoromethoxy 1,1-dichloro-2-propanone 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-hydroxypropionic acid there is a method of producing the (Patent Document 3).

Problems that the Invention is to Solve
[0009] The method according to Non-Patent Document 1, the number of reaction steps were not longer practical.
[0010] An object of the present invention, medical important 3,3-difluoro-2-hydroxy acid as a pesticide intermediates, under mild reaction conditions which can be employed industrially, short steps and high productivity over the prior art in is to manufacture.
Means for Solving the Problems
[0011] The present inventors have made intensive studies to solve the above problems, 4,4-difluoro-3-oxobutanoate ester by reaction with chlorine gas 4,4-difluoro-2,2-dichloro -3 - converted into oxobutanoic acid ester, by subsequently reacted with an acid to give 3,3-difluoro-1,1-dichloro-2-propanone, by finally reacting with a basic aqueous solution 3,3-difluoro 2-hydroxypropionic acid was newly found can be produced. The present invention consists of three steps shown in Scheme 1, the first step chlorination step, the second step Gensumi step, the third step is a pressurized alkaline decomposition process. Further, as useful intermediates in the production process of the present invention, 4,4-difluoro-2,2-dichloro-3-oxobutanoic acid ester of the novel compounds was also newly found.
[Formula 1]
[0012] In each step employed in the present invention, when comparing with Patent Document 2 and Patent Document 3 and Non-Patent Document 2, there has been chemically it is expected from problems.
[0013] For example, the invention is described in Patent Document 2, and severe reaction conditions are employed in the chlorination step, and the ester moiety is also considerably chlorinated as a side reaction (see the following scheme). 4,4-difluoro-3-oxobutanoate ester as the starting material substrate of the invention, the 4-position and further comprising a hydrogen atom, alpha-position proton of the carbonyl group, are recognized as likely functional group is halogenated there. Therefore, employing the reaction conditions of Patent Document 2 as it is, in the raw substrate material of the present invention, to think that even 4-position as well as the ester moiety is chlorinated are common. In the industrial practice, the amount of chlorine gas is increased by side reactions, undesirable from the standpoint of cost and chlorinated waste. Of course, the purification operation is also complicated due to the purity of the desired product.
[Formula 2]
[0014] Further, Patent Document 2, harsh reaction conditions also in reducing coal process has been adopted in the industrial practice, there is a material limitations and a large amount of waste sulfuric acid treatment problem for high temperature reactions.
[0015] The invention described in Non-Patent Document 2, a relatively expensive sulfuryl chloride as the chlorinating agent is used in large excess, it is moderate yield even by further long reaction time. Further with diethyl ether special flammables as the reaction solvent.
[0016] Patent Document 3, the raw material substrate is 3,3,3-trifluoro-1,1-dichloro-2-propanone, is an object of the present invention 3,3-difluoro-1,1-dichloro-2-propanone the difference revealed structural features (see the following scheme). Comparing the both sides of the substituent of the carbonyl group, whereas in the substrate of Patent Document 3 is a clear area to be alkali decomposition pressure (CF 3 groups
