Uses | o-dichlorobenzene is an important organic chemical raw material. It is the raw material of the insecticide trichloroinsecticidal ester in pesticides and is used to synthesize its intermediate 1-(3, 4-dichlorophenyl)-2,2, 2-trichloroethanol, and can also synthesize another important pesticide intermediate o-phenylenediamine. In addition, it is also used as a solvent for dye, medicine, resin, rubber and other operations, or as a rust remover, degreasing agent and so on. used in dye manufacturing, also used as organic synthesis intermediates and solvents widely used as intermediates in dyes, pharmaceuticals, pesticides and other industries m-dichlorobenzene is an important organic synthesis raw material, is the raw material of fungicides pyimazole, propiconazole and ethicyclazole, and is also the raw material of insecticide insecticide. Used in organic synthesis. The Friedel-Crafts reaction between m-dichlorobenzene and chloroacetyl chloride gives 2,4,ω-trichloroacetophenone, which is used as an intermediate of miconazole, a broad-spectrum antifungal drug. The chlorination reaction is carried out in the presence of ferric chloride or aluminum mercury, which mainly produces 1,2, 4-trichlorobenzene. In the presence of a catalyst, m-chlorophenol and resorcinol were hydrolyzed at 550-850°C. Using copper oxide as a catalyst, it reacts with concentrated ammonia at 150-200°C under pressure to form m-phenylenediamine. |
production method | 1. m-phenylenediamine reacts with sulfuric acid and sodium nitrite through diazotization to prepare diazonium salt, which is then chlorinated. 2. m-chloroaniline is formed by diazotization and chlorination. 3. Direct catalytic chlorination with m-dinitrobenzene. There are several preparation methods. Chlorobenzene is used as raw material for further chlorination to obtain p-dichlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene and m-dichlorobenzene. The general separation method uses mixed dichlorobenzene for continuous distillation, the top of the tower distillates para-and meta-dichlorobenzene, frozen crystallization to precipitate p-dichlorobenzene, and the mother liquor is rectified to obtain meta-dichlorobenzene, the tower kettle is crude o-dichlorobenzene, and then flash distillation in the flash tower to produce o-dichlorobenzene. At present, the mixed dichlorobenzene adopts the adsorption separation method, using molecular sieve as the adsorbent, and the gas phase mixed dichlorobenzene enters the adsorption tower, which can selectively adsorb p-dichlorobenzene, and the absorbent is meta-and ortho-dichlorobenzene. After rectification, m-dichlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene were obtained respectively. The adsorption temperature is 180~200 ℃, and the adsorption pressure is normal pressure. m-phenylenediamine diazo method m-phenylenediamine is diazotized in the presence of sodium nitrite and sulfuric acid. The diazotization temperature is 0~5 ℃, and the diazonium solution is hydrolyzed in the presence of cuprous chloride to generate m-dichlorobenzene. The m-chloroaniline method uses m-chloroaniline as raw material, diazotization is carried out in the presence of sodium nitrite and hydrochloric acid, and the diazo solution is hydrolyzed in the presence of cuprous chloride to generate m-dichlorobenzene. Among the above preparation methods, the most suitable for industrialization and lower cost method is the adsorption separation method of mixed dichlorobenzene. There are already production units in China for production. the preparation of o-dichlorobenzene mainly includes the recovery of by-products of chlorobenzene and diazotization of o-chloroaniline. Chlorobenzene by-product recovery Dichlorobenzene is produced during the production of chlorobenzene. According to the actual demand, the chlorination process conditions can be changed to adjust the ratio of chlorobenzene to dichlorobenzene. According to the current process control conditions and production conditions of chlorobenzene production, the ratio of chlorobenzene to dichlorobenzene is 30 ~(35: 1). The industrial separation methods of o-dichlorobenzene and p-dichlorobenzene mainly include rectification and crystallization. O-chloroaniline diazotization method using o-chloroaniline as raw material, through diazotization and replacement reaction. Add o-chloroaniline and hydrochloric acid to the reaction pot, mix well below 25 ℃, cool to 0 ℃, drop sodium nitrite solution, control the temperature at 0~5 ℃, stop feeding when the potassium iodide starch indicator turns blue, and obtain diazonium salt solution. Then the diazonium salt solution is added into the hydrochloric acid solution of cuprous chloride at 0-5 ℃, stirred evenly, heated to 60-70 ℃ for 1h, cooled and let stand for stratification, the oil layer is repeatedly washed with 5% sodium hydroxide and water, dehydrated with anhydrous calcium chloride, fractionated, and collected the fraction at 177-183 ℃ to obtain the product o-dichlorobenzene. Chlorobenzene is used as raw material for further chlorination of chlorobenzene, and p-dichlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene can be obtained at the same time, and p-dichlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene can be obtained by fractionation. |
