production method | is obtained by chlorination of o-toluidine. A variety of chlorination methods are available. O-toluidine hydrochloride 4-chloro-o-toluidine can be obtained by chlorine reaction using chlorobenzene as solvent at 50-60 ℃. It can also be obtained by acylation followed by chlorination and hydrolysis. O-toluidine and chlorobenzene were mixed and stirred, acetic anhydride was added dropwise, the reaction was stirred at 70-80 ° C. For 1.5h, cooled, and chlorine was passed at about 50 ° C., at which time a large amount of white solid was suddenly generated. The passage of chlorine was stopped, concentrated hydrochloric acid and water were added, and the mixture was stirred and refluxed at 95 ° C. For 2H. It was cooled to room temperature and neutralized with alkali solution. The yield was more than 70%. Another method is to react o-toluidine hydrochloride with a mixed gas of hydrogen chloride and oxygen (or chlorine and oxygen) in an acidic medium. |
