Overview | thionyl chloride (SOCl2), also known as thionyl chloride, sulfur oxychloride, sulfur oxychloride, under normal temperature and pressure for colorless or light yellow liquid, irritating odor. Relative density 1.676, melting point -104.5 °c, boiling point 78.8 °c. Water easily decomposed into sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride. Dissolved in benzene, chloroform and carbon tetrachloride. Decomposition was initiated by heating to 150°C and complete at 500°C. Thionyl chloride is sometimes confused with sulfuryl chloride (SO2Cl2), but their chemical properties vary widely. The ability of the chlorine atom to replace a hydroxyl group or a sulfur group is significant. Thionyl chloride can react with hydroxy-containing phenols or alcohols to form the corresponding chlorides; And with Grignard reagents to form the corresponding sulfoxide compounds. The molecular configuration of thionyl chloride is pyramidal, in which the sulfur (VI) Center contains a pair of lone pair electrons. COCl2 is in a planar configuration. SOCl2 does not exist in nature due to the strong reaction of thionyl chloride with water. |
purification | chloride sulfoxide (SOCl2) crude often contains sulfuryl chloride, sulfur chloride and sulfur dichloride and other impurities, such as higher purity of chloride sulfoxide, it is necessary to add sulfur powder, reflux, and resteam to obtain high purity thionyl chloride. The specific reaction is not very clear, with my analysis, may be to prevent the distillation process, the decomposition of thionyl chloride into two sulfur chloride, sulfur dioxide and chlorine. A specific purification method is as follows: after heating and refluxing 4.5 ml of thiosulfonic acid powder together with G of thiosulfonic acid powder, a colorless pure product is obtained by using a high efficiency fractionation column twice. Distillation may also be performed in the presence of triphenyl phosphite. Impurities removed should be sulfuryl chloride, sulfur monochloride and sulfur dichloride |
Application | thionyl chloride (SOCl2) is an important organic chemical intermediates, mainly used in medicine, pesticide, dye Industry and organic synthesis industry, as a chlorinating agent. Consumption structure: the pharmaceutical industry accounted for 25%, the pesticide industry accounted for 50%, the dye industry accounted for 5%, other industries accounted for 20%, pesticide industry is the main consumption area of thionyl chloride in China, mainly used for the production of anti-inverted Amine, valerate, fenvalerate, demethrin, fenvalerate, urea, isocarbophos, fenpropathrin, endosulfan, deltamethrin, chlorpyrifos, oxazolidinone, quetiapine and warfarin, etc. since thionyl chloride can interact strongly with water, it can react with hydrous salts of metal chlorides to produce anhydrous metal chlorides. MCln · xH2O + x SOCl2 → MCln + x SO2 + 2x HCl The chlorine oxide of the metal can be obtained by heating and refluxing the thionyl chloride and the transition metal oxide: WO3 +2SOCl2 → WOCl4 +2SO2 thionyl chloride is widely used to convert carboxylic acids and alcohols to the corresponding acid chlorides and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Compared with other reagents (such as phosphorus pentachloride), thionyl chloride is often the preferred reagent, because its reaction product sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride are gaseous, easy to separate. Excess thionyl chloride can be removed by distillation. RC(= O)-OH + O = SCl2 → RC(= O)-Cl + SO2 + HCl R-OH + O = SCl2 → R-Cl + SO2 + HCl sulfonic acid reacts with thionyl chloride to produce sulfonyl chloride. Sulfinic acid reacts with thionyl chloride to produce sulfinyl chloride. Phosphonic acid reacts with thionyl chloride to produce phosphonyl chloride. thionyl chloride can be reacted with a mono-substituted formamide to form the corresponding isonitrile. The amide can react with thionyl chloride to form iminoyl chloride, and the first-order amide will continue to be dehydrated into nitriles when co-heated with thionyl chloride. used in pharmaceuticals, pesticides and dyes and other industries, mainly used in the production of isocarbophos, fast killer, deworming, indomethacin, vitamin A and so on used as a chlorinating agent for organic synthesis, for example, chlorination of alcohol hydroxyl groups, chlorination of carboxylic acids, chlorination of acid anhydrides, chlorine substitution of organic sulfonic acids or nitro compounds. Production of acyl chloride. Manufacture of pharmaceutical intermediates, such as anthelmintic, odorless, bleomycin. It is also used as a dehydrating agent and a solvent. It is mainly used in the manufacture of acyl chlorides, and also used in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, etc. |
Application | acyl chloride is an important carboxylic acid derivative in organic synthesis, drug synthesis and other aspects have important applications. At present, the commonly used raw materials for preparing acyl chloride are thionyl chloride, phosphorus trichloride, phosphorus pentachloride and phosgene, etc. Because of the advantages of mild reaction conditions, good purity and high yield, the synthesis of acyl chloride from thionyl chloride is widely used. Using thionyl chloride to carry out the "acylation reaction" of substituted benzoic acid is a common unit operation. In the existing process, the substituted benzoic acid is added to the organic solvent for dehydration, after completion of the dehydration, an excess of thionyl chloride was added dropwise. In order to ensure the completion of the reaction, the thionyl chloride is generally added dropwise in excess of 15-25%, and the excess thionyl chloride and the solvent are recovered after the completion of the reaction. |
quenching method | under stirring, add to a large amount of ice water (can not be added back), confirm the reaction and then neutralize with alkali, for phosphorus oxychloride that does not react with ice water immediately, it can be slowly poured into water at room temperature to confirm that the reaction is finished, then it is added, ice cooling is added from time to time, and finally neutralization with alkali under cooling. During the treatment, it can only be slowly added to water (alkali solution), and water must not be added to the above compounds. |
synthesis method | at present, the industrial production method of thionyl chloride (SOCl2) mainly includes chlorosulfonic acid method, sulfur dioxide gas phase method and three kinds of phosphorus oxychloride production method. consumption quota: production method, raw materials and specifications consumption quota/t · t-1 chlorosulfonic acid process chlorosulfonic acid (95%) 1.1 liquid chlorine (99%) 0.91 sulfur powder (99.5%) 0.42 sulfur dioxide gas phase sulfur (99.5%) 0.22 liquid chlorine (99%) 0.88 sulfur dioxide (99%) 0.44 phosphorus trichloride (98%) 1.3 liquid chlorine (99%) 0.66 sulfur dioxide (99%) 0.64 |
