Use | 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene can be used as an intermediate for the synthesis of 2, the intermediate 3-chloro-2-methylaniline of 6-dichloro-benzylchloride and the herbicide quinclorac. intermediates in organic synthesis. used in the synthesis of 3-chloro-2-methylaniline, 2, 6-dichlorobenzaldehyde and so on |
production method | is obtained by chlorination of O-nitrotoluene. O-nitrotoluene and anhydrous ferric chloride (catalyst) were added into the reactor, and chlorine was introduced into the reactor at 50-60 °c until the relative density of the reactants reached 1.27-1.29(48-50 °c). Or 1.31-1.32(26-28 °c). It was washed three times with 5% hydrochloric acid, then twice with water, and finally adjusted to pH 7 by adding liquid alkali. The water layer was separated and distilled off, followed by fractional distillation under reduced pressure. The fraction at 120-150 ° C. (5.33-8.0kPa) was collected and cooled to precipitate crystals. The final product was obtained by filtration. The yield was more than 40%. The preparation method is to obtain 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene by chlorination of O-nitrotoluene. O-nitrochlorobenzene, Catalyst iodine and anhydrous ferric chloride were added to the reactor, and chlorine was introduced at 50~60 °c until the relative density of the reactants reached 1.27~1.29 (48~50 °c). Wash with 5% hydrochloric acid for 3 times, then wash with water for 2 times, and finally add alkali solution to adjust pH = 7. The water layer was separated and distilled off, followed by fractional distillation under reduced pressure. The fraction of 120 to 150 ° C./5.3 to 8 kPa was collected, cooled, and crystals were precipitated, followed by filtration to obtain 2-chloro-6-nitrotoluene. |
