Uses | Chloroisopentene, or 1-chloro-3-methylbutene-2, is an intermediate for the preparation of chrysanthemum acid by the Martel method. It is also an intermediate for the preparation of dichlorochrysanthemum acid by the phase mode method. Used as intermediate of pesticide, medicine and perfume |
Production method | The preparation method is to react isoprene with concentrated hydrochloric acid in the presence of catalyst CuCl, or pass hydrogen chloride into isoprene. A mixture of 1-chloro-3-methylbutene-2 and 3-chloro-3-methylbutene-1 can be obtained, the latter can be transposed at room temperature to obtain 1-chloro-3-methylbutene-2. The reaction equation is shown in the figure: CuCl is added as a catalyst in concentrated hydrochloric acid solution, and the catalyst is dissolved by intense stirring, then the temperature is controlled below 20 ℃, isoprene is added dropwise, after dropping, it is maintained at 20 ℃, then stirring is continued for 0.5h, the reaction is finished, the organic layer is quickly separated, neutralized and dried with anhydrous Na2CO3, and unreacted isoprene and low boiling substances generated by side reactions are evaporated at normal pressure, then the 79 ℃/40 kPa fraction is collected by vacuum distillation, which is the product (chloroprene B. p.105 ~ 115 ℃). Hydrogen chloride can also be introduced into isoprene, the reaction temperature is 0~10 ℃, the temperature of hydrogen chloride is -5 ℃, the content of isoprene in the reaction liquid is controlled by gas chromatography to determine the end point of the reaction, and the translocation is stirred at room temperature for about 4 hours. |
