introduction
2-Chloro-1, 3-butadiene is a hydrocarbon organic matter and can be used as a monomer for making neoprene.
production method
(1) Vinyl acetylene obtained by dimerization of acetylene is obtained by adding hydrogen chloride. The production of 1t chloroprene consumes about 750kg of vinyl acetylene and 500kg of hydrogen chloride. (2) Dichlorobutene is obtained by chlorination of butadiene and dehydrochlorination: The dichlorobutene obtained by chlorination of butadiene is a mixture of 3, 4-dichlorobutene-1 and 1, 4-dichlorobutene-2. Since the preparation of chloroprene requires 3, 4-dichlorobutene-2, the 1,4-isomer needs to be converted into 3,4-isomer. The method is to distill the mixture in the presence of cuprous chloride at 130-145°C to convert the 1,4-isomer into a lower boiling point 3,4-isomer (from the top of the tower It can be used for dehydrochlorination to make chloroprene). 1, 4-dichlorobutene-2 is dehydrochlorinated with dilute alkali at 85°C to form 2-chloroprene.
