NOVELTY - 4-chloro-6-(2-cyanophenoxy)pyrimidine is reacted with 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methoxy-methacrylate in amide, ether, sulfoxide or ketone solvent, in presence of copper catalyst or tertiary amine catalysts in an inert gas atmosphere, to obtain (E)-2-(2-(6-(2-cyanophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yloxy)phenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate. The obtained product is reacted with methanol, heated at 70 degrees C for 2 hours, cooled to 0-5 degrees C, filtered, and filter cake is washed with cold methanol and dried, to obtain azoxystrobin.    USE - Synthesis of azoxystrobin (claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The method efficiently and economically provides azoxystrobin, using simple process.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - 2-Chlorobenzonitrile and 4,6-dihydroxy-pyrimidine in molar ratio of 1:0.9-1.1 are reacted in amide, ether, sulfoxide or ketone solvent in presence of palladium or copper catalyst in atmosphere of inert gas, reacted at 80-200 degrees C for 10-15 hours, cooled to room temperature, and catalyst is recovered by filtration, to obtain 4-hydroxy-6-(2-cyanophenoxy)pyrimidine. The obtained compound is reacted with organic base e.g. triethylamine, trimethylamine or pyridine in presence of chloride chlorination agent, reacted at 50-120 degrees C for 3-8 hours, cooled to room temperature, solvent is removed by reduced pressure and precipitated, to obtain 4-chloro-6-(2-cyanophenoxy)pyrimidine. The obtained compound is reacted with 2-(2-hydroxyphenyl)-3-methoxy-methacrylate in molar ratio of 1:1-1:2 in amide, ether, sulfoxide or ketone solvent, in presence of copper catalyst or tertiary amine catalysts in an inert gas atmosphere, reacted at 40-90 degrees C for 2.5-4.5 hours, then cooled to room temperature, precipitated, washed using water and concentrated under reduced pressure, to obtain (E)-2-(2-(6-(2-cyanophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yloxy)phenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate. The obtained product is reacted with methanol, heated at 70 degrees C for 2 hours, cooled to 0-5 degrees C, filtered, and filter cake is washed with cold methanol and dried, to obtain azoxystrobin.
