A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF TRICLOPYR BUTOTYL

Abstract A process for the production of trichlopyr-butotyl where trichloro pyridinate in solvent medium is reacted with butoxy chloro acetate in presence of phase transfer catalyst at reflux temperature; and the water present in trichloro pyridinate is removed as an azeotrope; and the reaction is continued till all butoxy chloro acetate is consumed; and the solvent is first removed by distillation at atmospheric pressure; and the product trichlopyr-butotyl is then distilled under vacuum. The yield of trichlopyr-butotyl obtained is 82 % ( based on butoxy chloro acetate) with a purity of 92 %; Dated : 27 08 2003

SUMMERY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for preparing
triclopyr-butotyl
corresponding to the formula

A process for the production of trichlopyr-butotyl wherein sodium
trichloro pyridinate in solvent medium is reacted with butoxy chloro
acetate in presence of phase transfer catalyst at reflux temperature;
and water present in trichloro pyridinate is removed as an
azeotrope; and the reaction is continued till all butoxy chloro acetate
is consumed; and the solvent is first removed by distillation at
atmospheric pressure; and the product trichlopyr-butotyl is then
distilled under vacuum.
A mixture of 1.39 parts by wt of sodium trichloro pyridinate; 9.95
parts by wt of solvent hexane and 0.55 parts by wt of catalyst triethyl
benzyl ammonium chloride (TEBA) are charged into the flask; 1.0
part by wt of butoxy chloro acetate is added slowly at temperature
between 65 - 67 °C and the water present in trichloro pyridinate is
removed continuously as hexane-water azeotrope; After all the water
is removed, the contents are cooked at temperature between 60 - 70
°C to react all butoxy chloro acetate; The reaction mass is heated
and solvent hexane is distilled out first; The product triclopyr-
butotyl is then distilled off under vacuum between 5-10 torr ;

EXAMPLE - 1 :
A mixture of 1.30 parts by wt of sodium trichloro pyridinate; 9.31
parts by wt of solvent hexane and 0.51 parts by wt of catalyst tetra
butyl acetyl bromide (TBAB) are charged into the flask; 1.0 part by
wt of butoxy chloro acetate is added slowly at temperature between
65 - 67 °C and the water generated during reaction is removed
continuously as hexane-water azeotrope; After all the water is
removed, the contents are cooked at temperature between
60-70 °C to react all butoxy chloro acetate; The reaction mass is
heated and solvent hexane is distilled out first; The product
triclopyr-butotyl is then distilled off under vacuum between 5-10
torr ; The yield of trichlopyr-butotyl obtained is 82 % (
based on butoxy chloro acetate) with
purity of 98 %;
