Abstract
2-Hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine is prepared by reacting 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine with an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide in a sealed vessel at a temperature of at least 140 DEG C. under autogenous pressure.
Description
- This invention relates to a chemical process and, more particularly, to a process for
preparing 2-hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine which is useful in the manufacture of certain
agricultural products.
- Processes for preparing 2-hydroxypyridines by the hydrolysis of 2-chloropyridines are
described in the chemical literature. Thus, UK Patent No. 288,628 describes the preparation
of 2-hydroxypyridine by the hydrolysis of 2-chloropyridine with solid potassium hydroxide at
175°C. It also describes the preparation of 2-hydroxy-5-nitropyridine by the hydrolysis of the
corresponding chloropyridine with (a) concentrated hydrochloric acid in a bomb tube at
150°C and (b) 2-normal caustic soda lye under reflux.
- US Patent No.4,942,239 describes the preparation of 2-hydroxypyridine by the
hydrolysis of 2-chloropyridine with an aqueous concentrated potassium hydroxide solution in
the presence of a tertiary alcohol, such as tert-butyl or tert-amyl alcohol, under reflux at
atmospheric pressure. A solvent-based process has also been described for the preparation of
2-hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine in, for example, US Patent No. 3.609.158. In this patent
2-chloro-6-trifluoromethyl pyridine in dimethylsulphoxide (DMSO) is hydrolysed by heating
with aqueous sodium hydroxide under reflux.
- 2-Hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine can readily be prepared in good yield by the
alkaline hydrolysis of 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine in a solvent such as DMSO or tert-amyl
alcohol. On a large scale, however, solvent-based processes are generally undesirable
because of the environmental and safety implications and the need for solvent recovery
systems.
- Unfortunately, the treatment of 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine with 35%
hydrochloric acid at 150°C results in only a trace of hydrolysis and with aqueous sodium
hydroxide under reflux results in no hydrolysis at all. Treatment with solid base leads to
hydrolysis but the product is obtained in an unacceptable physical form.
- The process of the present invention is solvent-free, high yielding and provides the
product in a suitable physical form.
- Thus, according to the present invention, there is provided a process for the
preparation of 2-hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine which comprises reacting 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine
with two or more equivalents of an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide
whose strength is at least 10%w/v in a sealed vessel at a temperature of at least 140°C under
autogenous pressure.
- The alkali metal hydroxide is either sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, the
latter generally being the more effective. For maximum yield, the aqueous base solution
strength should be at least 10% w/v and is suitably in the range of 10 to 50% w/v, for
example, 10 to 20% w/v.
- More than two equivalents of base are required to ensure full conversion of the
pyridine to pyridone. About 2.2 equivalents have been found generally satisfactory, based on
pure pyridine starting material. A greater excess would appear unnecessary, while it may be
possible to reduce the excess slightly. Thus, the normal working range will be from 2,
preferably from 2.1, to 2.3 equivalents of base to pyridine starting material.
- The temperature of the reaction should be at least 140°C and is suitably 150°C -
160°C, typically 150°C. Below 150°C the rate of hydrolysis is reduced.
- The reaction is carried out in a sealed vessel, for example, in an autoclave whose
material of construction can withstand the effects of aqueous alkali at temperatures of up to
150°C and beyond and the autogenous pressures generated. Suitably the vessel is
constructed from a nickel alloy such as inconel, monel or hastelloy. Normally pressures of 4
to 5 bar are generated.
- In a typical small-scale process according to the present invention, 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine
is charged to an autoclave, which is sealed and pressure tested. The
pressure is released, the autoclave resealed and heated to 150°C. At least two equivalents of
aqueous alkali metal hydroxide are pumped to the autoclave and the reaction mixture held at
150°C - 160°C over 1 to 4 hours, for example 1 ½ to 2 hours, under self-generated pressure
of 4 to 5 bar. After reaction is adjudged complete, the reaction mixture is cooled, acidified
and the product filtered and washed with water.
- The 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine starting material is a known compound and
its preparation is described in the chemical literature. It may be prepared by the vapour
phase chlorofluorination of α-picoline as described in EP-A- or by the fluorination
of 2-chloro-6-trichloromethylpyridine (nitrapyrin) using hydrogen fluoride as described in
EP-A- or using antimony trifluoro-dichloride as described in US-A-.
- The main advantage of the present invention is that it provides a high-yielding
process for the hydrolysis of 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine in the absence of a solvent.
However, it has the additional advantage of being able to consume impure pyridine starting
material and produce a 'cleaned-up' product. This is achieved by the hydrolysis of impurities
in the feedstock to products having a higher water solubility than 2-hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine.
- Commonly, 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine feedstock contains impurities in
which there is an additional chlorine atom in the 3- or 5-position of the pyridine ring. Some
of these dichlorinated trifluoromethylpyridines are inseparable from 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine
by distillation. However, under the conditions of the present process, they
are hydrolyzed to water-soluble hydroxypicolinic acid derivatives which are readily removed
by acidification of the reaction mass and isolation of the precipitated product by filtration.
- It should be noted, however, that additional base is required to hydrolyze these
impurities. Four equivalents of base are needed for dichlorinated species. Therefore, the
precise amount of base used in the process should be calculated according to the level of
impurities in the feedstock.
- The invention is illustrated by the following Examples in which :-
g = grammes mmol = millimoles °C = degrees centigrade ml = millilitre HPLC = high performance liquid equiv = equivalent chromatography psi = pounds per square inch
EXAMPLE 1
- This Example illustrates the preparation of 2-hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine by
reacting 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine with aqueous potassium hydroxide at 150°C
under autogenous pressure.
- 2-Chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine (10.0g; 55.1 mmol; 1 equiv) was charged to a
100 ml Hastelloy C Parr reactor, the reactor sealed and pressure tested with nitrogen. When
a sealed system had been achieved, the pressure was released, the reactor resealed, and
heated to 150°C. Potassium hydroxide solution (10% strength; 68.0 g; 121.1 mmol; 2.2
equiv) was added via an HPLC pump over 1 hour, while the mixture was maintained at
150°C. Addition of base caused the pressure to rise to 5 bar. The reaction mixture was held
at this temperature and pressure for a further 5 hours . Following this period the reactor was
cooled, dismantled and sodium chloride (5g) added. The solution was cooled to 5°C,
acidified to pH 5-6 by the addition of concentrated sulphuric acid, filtered and pulled dry.
The filter cake was washed with water (10g), pulled dry, discharged and allowed to dry
overnight to afford 2-hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine as a colourless powder (9.5 g: 95%
strength; 92% isolated yield).
EXAMPLE 2
- This Example illustrates the preparation of 2-hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine by
reacting 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine with aqueous sodium hydroxide at 150°C under
autogenous pressure.
- 2-Chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine (8.05g at 98% strength; 43.2 mmol; 1 equiv) was
charged to a Parr reactor, pressure tested at 100psi. The pressure was released and the reactor
heated to 150°C. Sodium hydroxide solution (9.823% strength; 40.1g; 98.5 mmol; 2.28
equiv) was added via an HPLC pump over 2 hours 20 minutes and the reaction mixture
maintained at 150°C for a further 4 hours. The mixture was cooled, unreacted 2-chloro-6-trifluoromethylpyridine
extracted with methylene chloride, and the aqueous phase acidified
with hydrochloric acid and filtered to afford 2-hydroxy-6-trifluoromethylpyridine (5.615g;
93% strength; 73% isolated yield). Further product was obtained by extraction of the
filtrates with methylene chloride.
