Conventionally, difenoconazole is developed from 2,4-Dichloroacetophenone followed by etherification, bromination, ketal reaction and nucleophilic substitution, with an overall yield of about 70%.
However, Zhejiang Heben's new process of synthesizing difenoconazole has more advantages than the conventional method mentioned above. In detail, beginning with 3,4' -dichlorodiphenyl ether, difenoconazole is synthesized by acylation, condensation and cyclization, with a total yield of about 81%. What's more, the purity of difenoconazole can reach over 97%. Besides high yield and purity, this new method has other advantages, such as easy operation, short reaction time, little "three wastes", etc.
Zhejiang Heben constructed a 100t/a difenoconazole technical production line as early as 2007, thereafter the company has gradually expanded its capacity to the current about 450t/a, says Mr. Li, Sales Manager of Zhejiang Heben. Moreover, most difenoconazole technical of Zhejiang Heben is exported to the overseas market.
