production method | is obtained by nitration of M-xylene. The M-xylene was cooled to below 10 °c and the pre-cooled mixed acid (56.5% sulfuric acid, 28.5% nitric acid, 15% water) was added in portions. The first batch of mixed acid was added at 15-17 °c for about 3H; The second batch of control temperature was 17-25 °c, added at 2H; The third batch was kept at 25-30 °c, added at 1H. After addition, the mixture was incubated at 30 ° C. And stirred for 2H. The mixture was allowed to stand and layered, and the nitrated oil in the upper layer was taken and washed with water until it was not acidic to Congo red test paper. The crude fraction at 105-145 ° C. (14.6kPa) was collected by distillation under reduced pressure, and then the crude fraction at 100-110 ° C. (13. 3kps fraction) was collected as 2-nitrom-xylene. |
