production method | obtained from bromination of o-xylene: adding iodine and iron powder to o-xylene, cooling, dropping bromine, controlling the reaction temperature not to exceed 5 ℃, the reaction releases hydrogen bromide gas to be absorbed by alkali solution. After dropping, leave it overnight at room temperature, wash it with 5% sodium hydroxide solution until the red color fades, and then wash the oil layer with water and steam distillation to obtain 4-bromo-1, 2-dimethylbenzene. 75% yield. |
