Application | Chloroisobutane is an important raw material for organic synthesis. Because its structural chlorine atoms are very active, it can react with aromatic amines and aliphatic amines to remove hydrogen chloride to generate corresponding amines. Therefore, it can be used as an intermediate for medicines, pesticides, additives, etc., as well as as solvents and refrigerants. |
preparation | 1) after adding a certain amount of thionyl chloride into a 250mL three-neck bottle, adding a small amount of pyridine and keeping a constant temperature at the reaction temperature. 2) add a certain amount of isobutanol into the dropping funnel, adjust the piston to drop it into the mixed solution of thionyl chloride-pyridine, stir, absorb the reaction tail gas with NaOH dilute solution, and record the reaction time after dropping. 3) After the reaction is completed, the supernatant is taken through alkali washing, water washing, drying and distillation, and the fraction at 68~72 ℃ is collected to calculate the yield of chloroisobutane. |
Use | Used as a catalyst component and solvent for propylene polymerization and used in organic synthesis Used as a solvent and also used in organic synthesis Used as pharmaceutical raw materials, plasticizers, solvents, pesticide raw materials, dewaxing agents, analytical chemical reagents, and can also be used in the rubber industry. Used as a catalyst component for propylene polymerization, organic synthesis and as a solvent |
Production method | It is obtained by the reaction of isobutanol and thionyl chloride. Preheat thionyl chloride first and slowly add isobutanol. After adding, heat and reflux for 10-12h until the temperature is stable at about 70 ℃, cool and distilled, wash and dry the crude product, fractionate at normal pressure, and collect the fraction at 67.5-69 ℃ as the finished product. The product can also be made by reacting isobutanol and hydrochloric acid in the presence of zinc chloride. |
