Application | dimethyl phosphite can be directly used in the synthesis of organophosphorus pesticide trichlorfon, herbicide glyphosate, etc, it can also be used for the synthesis of other phosphorus-containing intermediates, such as O,O-dimethylphosphoryl chloride, O,O-dimethylthio (alcohol) ammonium phosphate, etc. In addition, it is also an important raw material for organic synthesis, used in the production of organic phosphoric acid corrosion inhibitors, plastic additives, dye additives and textile flame retardants. used as lubricant additive, adhesive and some organic synthesis intermediates. For the synthesis of pesticides omethoate, methyl phosphorus and herbicide glyphosate. This product is an important intermediate of solid glyphosate, trichlorfon, dichlorvos, rice blast, omethoate and other pesticides; It is also used in the production of organic phosphoric acid corrosion inhibitor, plastic additives, dye additives and flame retardants. |
production method | is obtained by reacting methanol with phosphorus trichloride. The preparation method is obtained by direct reaction of methanol with phosphorus trichloride. 3CH3OH + PCl3 →(CH3O)2POH + 2HCl + CH3Cl the traditional domestic process is divided pot drop, intermittent operation. Since the reaction is a severe exothermic reaction, the reaction speed is fast and the reaction is completed instantaneously, the operation is frequent, the labor intensity is high, the production cycle is long, the equipment utilization rate is low, and the production capacity is limited. On this basis, the continuous production process is realized through process transformation, the total yield is more than 80% (based on phosphorus trichloride), and the content is more than 95%. The key in the continuous process is to make the phosphorus trichloride and methanol in full contact, and the jet reactor can be used to meet this requirement. The content of crude dimethyl phosphite obtained by continuous synthesis deacidification is about 70%, and the acidity is about 10%. It needs further neutralization with ammonia, and the protective agent dichloroethane needs to be added in the neutralization process. The neutralized by-product ammonium chloride can be reused for fertilizer use, and the dichloroethane can be recycled by distillation under reduced pressure. |
