production method | 1. O-chlorotoluene method O-chlorotoluene as raw material, in the presence of phosphorus trichloride, through chlorine gas. Add O-chlorotoluene to the reaction pan, add 3% of phosphorus trichloride, boil at 90 ℃, enter dry chlorine, react with light and chlorine for 16h, absorb chlorine and increase weight by 85-90%, the reaction end point is when the reaction temperature reaches 210-220 ℃ and the density of the reaction liquid phase reaches 1.53(20 ℃). After discharging chlorine and hydrochloric acid gas, distillation was performed under reduced pressure to collect a 135-137 ° C. (2kPa) fraction to obtain O-chloro-trichlorotoluene. The chlorination reaction may also be carried out in the presence of phosphorus chloride. The yield was 74%. 2. Toluene chlorination method toluene and titanium tetrachloride are cooled to about 10 °c to start chlorine, and the reaction temperature is controlled at 15-20 °c. Chlorine was passed until the reaction liquid phase reached a density of 1.078-1.082, the reaction solution was washed with water to pH 6-7, dried with anhydrous calcium chloride, and then the fraction at 156-160 ° C. Was distilled to obtain O-chlorotoluene (containing p-chlorotoluene) with a content of about 77%. Then according to the above method, add phosphorus pentachloride chlorine gas chlorination, can also prepare the product. |
