Synthesis of fipronil sulfide, an active metabolite, from the parent insecticide fipronil

A convenient procedure for the synthesis of fipronil sulfide, one of several active metabolites identified from the insecticide fipronil, has been developed. Reduction of fipronil with trifluoroacetic anhydride-sodium iodide in acetone, followed by flash chromatography afforded fipronil sulfide in 60% yield and >99.9 percent purity. This represents the first direct synthesis of this key metabolite from fipronil.

A convenient conversion of pyrazolyl disulfide to sulfides by sodium dithionite and synthesis of sulfoxides

Indirectly introduce trifluoromethylthio-, alkylthio-, and trifluoromethylsulfinyl to pyrazole ring by a convenient reaction of a pyrazolyl disulfide with F3CBr and alkyl halides in the presence of sodium dithionite at room temperature. Followed by selective oxidation with H2O2 or trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCCA) to give trifluoromethylsulfenyl phenylpyrazole, alkylsulfenyl phenylpyazole, trifluoromethylsulfinyl phenylpyrazole 4a (a highly efficient insecticide named fipronil) and ethylsulfinyl phenylpyrazole 4c derivatives, respectively.

Method for preparing fipronil

The invention relates to a method for preparing fipronil. The method comprises the following steps: taking 2-bromo-1,3-dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)benzene as an initial raw material, reacting the initial raw material with 5-amino-4-((trifluoromethyl)sulfenyl)-1H-pyrazol-3-formonitrile, wherein the product does not need to be treated; and further reacting to obtain the target product fipronil. Compared with the traditional synthetic method, the method disclosed by the invention takes Cu as a catalyst, and is more efficient and relatively high in yield. Moreover, the operating method is simple and convenient, and the reaction conditions are mild.

Preparation method of 5-amino-1-(2,6-dihydro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-(trifluoromethylmercapto)-1H-parazole-3-nitrile

The invention discloses a preparation method of 5-amino-1-(2,6-dihydro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-(trifluoromethylmercapto)-1H-parazole-3-nitrile, which comprises the following steps: (1) adding 5-amino-3-cyano-1-(2,6-dichloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-parazole, trifluoromethyl sulfinate, an organic solvent, and a phosphorus-containing iminazole liquid to a reactor, mixing under stirring, and cooling the mixture in an ice bath; and (2) dropwise adding phosphorus trihalide or an organic solution of phosphorus trihalide to the reactor under stirring, reacting at 30-60 DEG C for 1-5h under stirring, quenching the reaction with ice water, extracting with an extracting agent, washing, drying and concentrating to obtain 5-amino-1-(2,6-dihydro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl)-4-(trifluoromethylmercapto)-1H-parazole-3-nitrile. The method is simple and convenient to operate, and can obtain the effects of good yield and purity, etc.
