Process for producing nitrophenol compound

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a process for producing a nitrophenol compound which is useful for a synthetic intermediate of a medicine having benzoxazine skeleton.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
In general, nitrophenol (mainly o- or p-isomer) has been hitherto obtained by reacting phenol with nitric acid in sulfuric acid medium [for example, U. Al-Obaidi and R. B. Moodie, J. Chem. Soc. Perkin Trans. II, 467 (1985)].
However, when this method is applied to a halogenated phenol compound, particularly a phenol compound substituted with bromine, substitution, isomerization, disproportionation and the like occur and the nitrated product becomes a mixture thereof with by-products such as isomers, debrominated products and the like, which results in a low yield.
Under these circumstances, in order to establish a process for producing a nitrophenol compound in a good yield with less by-products which is advantageous from the industrial viewpoint, the present inventors have intensively studied a method for nitrating a phenol compound to convert into a corresponding nitrophenol compound. As the result, it has been found that the objective nitrophenol compound can be obtained in a good yield by reacting a p-bromophenol compound with nitrous acid in a mixed solvent of water and water-insoluble or slightly soluble organic solvent. That is, according to the present inventors' knowledge, in such a nitration reaction, when a phenol compound is reacted with nitric acid in sulfuric acid medium according to a known method, the yield of the objective nitrophenol compound is low. However, it has been surprisingly found that a nitrophenol compound can be selectively produced in a high yield by reacting the phenol compound with nitrous acid in a mixed solvent of water and a water-insoluble or slightly soluble organic solvent.
Canadian Patent Specification No. 777,124 issued on Jan. 30, 1968 discloses that a 2,6-di-tertiary-alkylated 4-nitrophenol is obtained by causing diluted aqueous nitric acid to act on a solution of the corresponding di-tertiary-alkyl-phenol in a water-insoluble organic solvent, but there is no disclosure about the reaction of a p-bromophenol compound with nitrous acid in the specification.
In Collection Czechoslov. Chem. Commun. 29(6), 1374-1379 (1964) and Z. Anal. Chem., 199(4), 276-290 (1964), J. Gasparic discloses the reaction of o-bromophenol compound with nitrous acid in a slightly acidic medium, but does not disclose the use of a water-insoluble or slightly soluble organic solvent.
OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
The main object of the present invention is to provide an improved industrial process for producing a nitrophenol compound.
This object as well as other objects and advantages of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the following description.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, there is provided a process for producing a compound of the general formula: ##STR3## wherein R is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms which comprises reacting a compound of the general formula: ##STR4## wherein R is as defined above with nitrous acid in a mixed solvent of water and water-insoluble or slightly soluble organic solvent.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
As the alkyl group represented by R in the phenol compound (I) used as the raw material of the present invention, there are straight-chain or branched groups having 1 to 4 carbon atoms such as methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, t-butyl and the like. These compounds are commercially available or they can be readily prepared from a commercially available raw material according to a known method.
The water-insoluble or slightly soluble organic solvent to be used is that having solubility in water of not more than 10% by weight and any of such a solvent can be used in so far as it does not hinder the nitration reaction of the present invention. Examples of the solvent includes aliphatic hydrocarbons such as hexane, heptane, nonane, decane, dodecane and the like, cyclic aliphatic hydrocarbons such as cyclohexane, methylcyclohexane, ethylcyclohexane, t-butylcyclohexane, 1,1-dimethylcyclohexane, 1,2-dimethylcyclohexane, propylcyclohexane, isopropylcyclohexane and the like, chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, tetrachloroethylene, hexachloroethane, methylene chloride, dichloroethane, tetrachloroethane, trichloroethylene, 1-chlorobutane, 1,2-dichlorobutane and the like, ethers such as diethyl ether, diisopropyl ether and the like, and lower alkyl esters of aliphatic carboxylic acids such as ethyl acetate, propyl acetate, butyl acetate and the like. These organic solvents can be used alone or in combination thereof in any proportion, particularly, to use a mixture of n-hexane and isopropyl ether is preferred.
The process of the present invention is carried out in a two-phase system mixed solvent of water and the organic solvent. The mixing ratio of water and the organic solvent is appropriately selected. However, usually, a good yield can be obtained in the volume ratio of water: the organic solvent of 1:0.1 to 5, preferably, 1:0.5 to 1.
The process of the present invention is carried out by addition of a nitrite (e.g., an alkali metal salt of nitrous acid such as sodium nitrite, etc.) and an acid (e.g., sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, acetic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, trifluoroacetic acid, etc.) to a reaction system to form nitrous acid in the reaction system to effect nitration of the phenol compound (I) with nitrous acid. As the acid, it is preferred to use sulfuric acid. Usually, the nitrite is used in an amount of 2-fold mole or more, preferably 3-fold mole based on the phenol compound (I) and is used by dissolving it in 2 to 4-fold by volume of water (used as the water phase of the mixed solvent). It is preferred to use the acid in equal mole or more based on the phenol compound (I). Particularly, a good result can be obtained by addition thereof in 2 to 7-fold mole based on the phenol compound (I).
The order of the addition of the nitrite and the acid is not specifically limited. For example, the nitrite can be added to a mixture of the acid and the phenol compound (I) or, preferably, the acid can be added to a mixture of the nitrite and the phenol compound (I).
The reaction temperature and time are not specifically limited and they can be widely varied. For example, the objective nitrophenol compound (II) can be obtained in a high yield and a high purity by carrying out the reaction at -10.degree. to 100.degree. C., preferably, 0.degree. to 40.degree. C. for 20 minutes to 10 hours, preferably, 30 minutes to 3 hours.
The resulting nitrophenol compound (II) is isolated from the reaction system according to a known method such as solvent extraction, concentration, crystallization, recrysatllization, chromatography and the like and is used for synthesis of various kinds of medicines.
For example, according to the reaction scheme: ##STR5## 4-bromo-2-isopropyl-6-nitrophenol (II) is converted into 2-amino-6-isopropylphenol (III) by a known method and, according to the process described in EP-A-No. 0 234 018, this 2-amino-6-isopropylphenol can be converted into a benzoxazine derivative which is useful for a preventive or therapeutic agent for diabetic complication such as diabetic cataract, retinopathy, nephropathy, neurosis and the like.
The process of the present invention is extremely useful for an industrial manufacturing process because the objective nitrophenol compound can be obtained in high purity and high yield under gentle reaction conditions. As the results, in an industrial production of a final objective product by using the nitrophenol compound as a synthetic intermediate, the process of the present invention is very advantageous for production of the nitrophenol compound.
