TITLE
A novel method for preparation of Carbamic Acid-(chlorocarbonyl)-[(4-Trifluoromethoxy) phenyl] methyl ester (I)





BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
The present invention pertains to the preparation of Carbamic Acid-(chlorocarbonyl)-[(4-Trifluoromethoxy) phenyl] methyl ester (I) which is an intermediate in the preparation of an arthropodicidal oxadiazine e.g. (II)
Oxadiazines such as those disclosed in WO 9211249 and WO 9319045 are important arthropodicidal compounds and effective preparative methods are needed.
Compound (I) is used for the preparation of compound (II), which is a particularly advantageous arthropodicidal Oxadiazine

(II)
Preparation of compound (I) is reported in literature by reacting p-Thfluoromethoxy aniline carbamate [Compound (III)] with Phosgene in presence of base.





1

US patent 5510505 discloses a preparation of compound (I) by treating compound (III) with a base such as sodium hydride or sodium methoxide and the solvent like benzene, toluene and then treating with an excess of Phosgene at -10 to 100°C. Drawback of this procedure is handing of sodium hydride, which is not only a hazardous compound but causes fire when exposed to atmosphere. Phosgene is a highly toxic compound and requires very special operating conditions.
Present invention overcomes all these problems by avoiding use of either Sodium hydride/Sodium methoxide or Phosgene.The present invention permits use of trialkyl amines and Triphosgene/Diphosgene as a phosgene source which is comparatively safe for handling.
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
According to present invention, compound (I) is prepared by reaction of compound (III) with Triphosgene (CI3OC3OOCI3) or Diphosgene (CIC2OOCI3) instead of phosgene gas in the presence of aliphatic tertiary amines with C1-C4 alkyl or aromatic amines like pyridine, picolines, N,N-Dimethyl aniline as bases using aromatic hydrocarbon like chlorobenzene, toluene or xylene as a solvent at -10CC to 50°C. Handling of Triphosgene or Diphosgene is safe as compared to Phosgene gas.
DETAILS OF INVENTION
The compound of formula (I) can be prepared by the process of this invention which comprises the process variations as describe below.
The phosgene source is used in the process is Diphosgene (CIC2OOCI3) or Triphosgene (CI3OC3OOCI3), preferably Triphosgene
The amount of Diphosgene/Triphosgene can be 3-5 moles per mole of p-Trifluoromethoxy Aniline carbamate (III), preferably 2.5 - 4 moles per mole.
The solvent used in the process of this invention can be any non reactive hydrocarbon aromatic solvent. Most preferred are toluene, xylene, chlorobenzene, dichlorobenzene.
The quantity of solvent used for reaction is 500 ml to 3000 ml. per mole of p-Trifluoromethoxy Aniline Carbamate(lll), preferably 1000 ml. per mole.
The base used for reaction is aliphatic tertiary amines with C1-C4 alkyl groups like Triethyl amine, Tributyl amine. Tri-isopropylamine or aromatic amines like pyridine, picolines, N.N-Dimethyl aniline, preferably Triethyl amine or Pyridine
2

Quantity of base is used is 1-5 moles of base per mole of p-Trifluoromethoxy Aniline Carbamate (III) preferably 1-2 moles per mole.
The reaction is carried out at -10°C to 50°C at ambient pressure, preferably at a temperature between -10°C and 25°C, more preferably between -5°Cand15°C.
The process accordingly to the invention can be carried out batch wise. A solution of Triphosgene in solvent is added into mixture of p-Trifluoromethoxy Aniline and base in solvent at -10°C. Temperature of reaction mass raised to ambient temperature and stirred. The final product Carbamic Acid-(chlorocarbonyl) - [(4-Trifluoromethoxy) phenyl] methyl ester (I) is isolated by drowning in 2 N HCI soln. followed by layer separation, concentration and crystallization with hexane.
The examples which follow are given by way of indication in order to illustrate the invention.
