Uses | Benzonitrile is usually used as a precursor for the synthesis of a variety of aromatic compounds and forms a stable coordination complex with transition metals. used as pesticides, dye intermediates and solvent antioxidants, etc. mainly used as intermediates for advanced coatings such as benzylmelamine, as well as intermediates for synthetic pesticides, aliphatic amines, benzoic acids, and as solvents for nitrile rubber, resins, polymers and coatings. The series of intermediates derived from benzylnitrile are mainly: benzylamine, benzamide, thiobenzamide, haloimide, imine ester, thioimine ester, amidoxime, hydrazine and so on. Mainly used for dyeing cotton and vitamin/cotton blended fabrics intermediates and solvents. |
production method | 1. benzoic acid method benzoic acid is obtained by ammoniation. The catalyst is alumina, and the reaction temperature is 250~350 ℃. 2. Ammonia oxidation method is obtained by oxidizing toluene with air in the presence of ammonia. Toluene is oxidized by vanadium-chromium catalyst at 350 ℃ and then rectified to obtain the finished product. Raw material consumption quota: toluene 2000kg/t, ammonia 1200kg/t. Other methods include diazotization of aniline hydrochloride and nitrous acid, and then react with cuprous cyanide; benzamide reacts with dichlorosulfoxide to prepare benzonitrile. In the above method, cuprous cyanide can be obtained by the action of copper sulfate and potassium cyanide. For example, 60g of copper sulfate, 50g of potassium cyanide and 90ml of water are prepared into cuprous cyanide solution, preheated to 60-70 ℃, 18.6g of aniline, 50ml of hydrochloric acid, 16g of sodium nitrite and 125ml of diazonium salt cold solution are added in batches under intense stirring, the reaction temperature does not exceed 60-70 ℃, and 16g of benzonitrile is separated to be obtained with a yield of 77%. |
