The invention discloses a production
route which is concise and green in
route, low in cost and easy to industrialize to prepare 2,4-difluorobenzylamine. The
route comprises the following four steps:a) by taking m-difluorobenzene as an initial
raw material, under
catalysis of lewis acid, carrying out a Foucault
alkylation reaction with
ethylene oxide so as to prepare an intermediate 2,4-difluorobenzene
ethanol; b) carrying out a second step of reactions on the product of the step a) without separation or purification, and oxidizing the 2,4-difluorobenzene
ethanol to generate 2,4-difluorobenzene
phenylacetic acid; c) enabling the product 2,4-difluorobenzene
phenylacetic acid of the step b) with
sulfoxide chloride and an
ammonia gas to react so as to prepare 2,4-difluorophenylacetamide; d)under induction of
bromine, enabling the product 2,4-difluorophenylacetamide of the step c) to react with a
sodium hypochlorite solution, and carrying out Hofmann degradation, thereby obtaining a target product 2,4-difluorobenzylamine. The preparation method disclosed by the invention is simple and easy in
raw material obtaining, concise in route, green and
environmentally friendly, low in cost and easy in industrial production.
