摘要

An efficient continuous flow process was developed for synthesizing (E)-O-(3-chloro-2-propenyl)hydroxylamine, a crucial intermediate of clethodim. This continuous flow manufacturing approach encompasses three chemical transformations from the simple and readily accessible material, hydroxylamine hydrochloride. Through a systematic series of screening tests conducted under various flow conditions, the traditional batch synthesis route was successfully simplified. The amide condensation reaction was achieved in just 70 s at room temperature within the flow system. Additionally, the chloroamination step was streamlined using a microreactor, significantly reducing the required reaction time and enhancing heat transfer efficiency. Finally, (E)-O-(3-chloro-2-propenyl)-hydroxylamine was furnished in 70% isolated yield with a purity of 96%, a total residence time of 18 min and 12.84 g/h throughput.
