Preparation method of herbicide 3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyluracil

The invention discloses a preparation method of herbicide 3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyluracil. The method comprises the steps that a compound acetoacetic ester is taken as a raw material to react with an ammonia source to generate 3-amino-2-butenoic acid ethyl ester, the 3-amino-2-butenoic acid ethyl ester is reacted with tert-butylisocyanate to generate an intermediate, and the 3-tert-butyl-5-chloro-6-methyluracil is obtained after chlorination is conducted on the intermediate. The method has the advantages that the obtaining of the raw material is easy, the technology is brief, the method is economical and environmentally friendly, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
