Production method | Pentachlorophenol is obtained by reacting with nitric acid in chloroform. Mixing the dried pentachlorophenol in chloroform, slowly adding nitric acid at 15-17 ℃, reacting at 20-25 ℃ for half an hour, adding water, cooling to below 10 ℃, filtering, standing the filtrate to remove the water layer, Wash the chloroform layer to the pH6-7, recover the chloroform to dryness under reduced pressure, add benzene 0.4 times, heat and dissolve, add gasoline 0.4 times, cool, filter, wash with cold benzene-gasoline, then recrystallize with benzene-gasoline to obtain tetrachloro-o-benzoquinone. |
