Application | This product is mainly used as a cationic dye intermediate for the production of cationic orange 2GL, cationic red BL, cationic red 2GL, when used in dye production, it is often first methylated to further prepare n-methyl-2-phenylindole. The methylating agent was dimethyl sulfate, and the reaction was carried out in a chlorobenzene solvent at 60-65 ° C. The yield was 83.5%. 2-phenylindole is also used as a heat stabilizer for emulsion polyvinyl chloride. used as PVC cellophane stabilizer and dye intermediate |
production method | 2-phenylindole is prepared by condensing phenylhydrazine with acetophenone and then ring-closing in the presence of zinc chloride. In addition to the Fisher method described above, bromoacetophenone can be heated to react with an excess of aniline, or N-(2-methylphenyl) benzamide and sodium ethoxide can be heated at 360-380 °c in air, 2-phenyl Indole can be prepared. Raw material consumption quota: acetophenone (98%)735kg/t, phenylhydrazine (free 100%)675kg/t, xylene 900kg/t, glacial acetic acid 15kg/t, zinc chloride 1230kg/t, hydrochloric acid (30%)810kg/t. |
