Abstract
Herein, we report an optimized process for 2,4-dichloro-5-fluoroacetophenone, a key intermediate of ciprofloxacin. In the nitration step, the traditional mixed acid process was replaced by a microchannel continuous reaction technology. For the fluorination reactions, the traditional quaternary ammonium salt catalyst was replaced by a novel CNC+ catalyst, which led to improved catalytic efficiency, lowered reaction temperatures, and increased product yields. Furthermore, a cost-effective method for utilizing waste gases with high concentrations of nitrogen oxides was developed for the nitrochlorination reaction. In the acetylation step, magnetic materials featuring both Bronsted and Lewis acid sites were utilized to immobilize the bisacid site catalyst [HPhIm][FeCl4]/MPNs, replacing the traditional AlCl3 approach. The overall yield of this new sustainable process across all four steps reached 86.4%, marking a significant improvement of over 10% compared to the traditional method. Moreover, the new process has resulted in an 87% reduction in waste acid emissions and a remarkable 96% reduction in exhaust emissions.
期刊介绍:
The journal Organic Process Research & Development serves as a communication tool between industrial chemists and chemists working in universities and research institutes. As such, it reports original work from the broad field of industrial process chemistry but also presents academic results that are relevant, or potentially relevant, to industrial applications. Process chemistry is the science that enables the safe, environmentally benign and ultimately economical manufacturing of organic compounds that are required in larger amounts to help address the needs of society. Consequently, the Journal encompasses every aspect of organic chemistry, including all aspects of catalysis, synthetic methodology development and synthetic strategy exploration, but also includes aspects from analytical and solid-state chemistry and chemical engineering, such as work-up tools,process safety, or flow-chemistry. The goal of development and optimization of chemical reactions and processes is their transfer to a larger scale; original work describing such studies and the actual implementation on scale is highly relevant to the journal. However, studies on new developments from either industry, research institutes or academia that have not yet been demonstrated on scale, but where an industrial utility can be expected and where the study has addressed important prerequisites for a scale-up and has given confidence into the reliability and practicality of the chemistry, also serve the mission of OPR&D as a communication tool between the different contributors to the field.
