Fipronil (120068-37-3) production method

There are two main synthetic routes for the industrial production of the insecticide fipronil. One is to use 2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylaniline as the raw material, which is diazotized to obtain a diazonium salt, and then combined with 2,3- The second product is obtained by reacting ethyl dicyanopropionate; the second product is obtained by reacting 2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenylhydrazine as raw material with fumaronitrile and then oxidizing it.

1.1 2,6-Dichloro-4-trifluoromethylaniline

There are three main synthesis routes for 2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylaniline: ① p-trifluoromethylaniline method. Direct chlorination of p-trifluoromethylaniline in a solvent gives 2,6-dichloro-4-trifluoromethylaniline. This method is simple and convenient, but trifluoromethylaniline is relatively expensive and the production cost is relatively high. This method is mainly used in foreign countries. ② p-Chlorotrifluorotoluene method. p-Chlorotrifluorotoluene reacts with dimethylformamide and NaNH2 at a certain temperature and pressure to obtain N,N-dimethyl p-trifluoromethylaniline, which is then chlorinated under light, demethylated and ring chlorinated Obtain the target product. This method has longer steps and a larger amount of "three wastes". ③3,4-Dichlorotrifluorotoluene method. 3,4-Dichlorotrifluoromethylaniline is used as raw material, reacted with dimethylformamide and sodium hydroxide in a pressure kettle, and chlorinated, demethylated and ring chlorinated under light conditions to obtain the product. Many domestic scientific research institutions are researching and developing this route. This route is more reasonable, the product quality is high, and the amount of "three wastes" is reduced to a certain extent.

1.2 2,6-Dichloro-4-trifluoromethylphenylhydrazine

The main direction of the research is to use p-chlorotrifluoromethylbenzene as raw material, undergo deep chlorination in the presence of ferric chloride to obtain 3,4,5-trichlorotrifluoromethylbenzene, and then react with hydrazine hydrate to obtain 2,6-dichloro -4-Trifluoromethylphenylhydrazine.

1.3 Ethyl 2,3-dicyanopropionate

There are two main methods for synthesizing ethyl 2,3-dicyanopropionate: step-by-step method and one-step method. The step-by-step production process is more cumbersome. During the production process, highly toxic substances harmful to the human body are produced and the amount of "three wastes" is relatively large. Therefore, the one-step method is mainly used for production. The one-step synthesis process is: mix sodium cyanide and the solvent absolute ethanol. After fully dissolving, add paraformaldehyde. After dissolving, add ethyl cyanoacetate. The feeding ratio of sodium cyanide, paraformaldehyde, and ethyl cyanoacetate is: 1:1:0.91(m:m). Then use hydrochloric acid to acidify, then extract and wash with water to obtain the crude product, and finally distill to remove the solvent to obtain the product. Several domestic companies, including Taizhou Tianyuan Chemical Co., Ltd., use this method to produce ethyl 2,3-dicyanopropionate.

Which one is better, fipronil (120068-37-3) or imidacloprid?

1. The insecticide fipronil is generally more effective than imidacloprid, but fipronil is toxic to aquatic organisms and can only be used in dry fields. Although imidacloprid is generally less effective, it causes less environmental pollution. Each has its own pros and cons and can be used according to the actual situation.

2. The insecticide fipronil is effective against sucking insects with mouthparts (such as aphids) and some lepidopteran pests. There are four main categories of underground pests in my country, namely cutworms, wireworms, mole crickets, and grubs. Among them, small cutworms, wireworms, mole crickets, and grubs. Cutworms are the larvae of lepidopteran pests, and fipronil suspension seed coating can be used to control corn grubs.

3. Imidacloprid is mainly used to control homopteran piercing-sucking mouthparts pests, and it is also widely used in sanitary insecticides.

Fipronil (120068-37-3) Precautions

The insecticide fipronil is very effective in controlling rice borer and leaf roller, but it is extremely unfriendly to the environment, that is, it will affect butterflies, dragonflies, etc. around the crops.
