Application | Chloroacetyl Chloride is an important intermediate of pesticide, which can produce insecticide dimethoate, omethoate, fungicide imazalil, metalaxyl, oxalachlor, herbicide alachlor, acetochlor, alachlor, butachlor, clachlor, trimethoprim, metolachlor, metolachlor, salbutamol, mefenozamide, etc, at the same time, it is also an important pharmaceutical intermediate, which can be used for the synthesis of chlordiazepoxide, diazepam, nitrazepam, lidocaine, praziquantel, mesocaine, thiazide, piperacillin, fluconazole, econazole and the like. It is used in the production of pesticide Dimethoate, fluoroacetamide, medicine, solvent, refrigerant, fire extinguishing agent, dyeing aid, lubricating oil additive, etc. Chloroacetyl Chloride is widely used, only herbicides have 3 series of more than 40 varieties need to consume Chloroacetyl Chloride. Chloroacetyl Chloride is a kind of active acylating agent and important organic synthesis intermediates, widely used in amino acids, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, dyes, additives, extraction solvents, refrigerants, fire extinguishing agents, lubricating oil additives, the synthesis of military toxic gases, especially in the most widely used pesticides, the amount is also the largest. It is an important intermediate for the synthesis of pesticide Oxadiazole, acetochlor, omethoate and so on. it can be used in organic synthesis, such as medicine, pesticide, extraction solvent, refrigerant, dyeing aid and lubricant additive. . Production of chloroacetophenone (tear gas), the preparation of amino acids. |
production method | obtained by chlorination of glacial acetic acid: primary chlorination: add glacial acetic acid into the chlorination Pan, slowly add chlorosulfonic acid, the temperature is raised to above 60 ℃, chlorine gas is introduced, the stirrer is started, and the temperature is kept at 98±3 ℃ for 8h (the amount of chlorine is 4-5kg/h), chlorine was stopped until a relative density of 1.37-1.40 was measured and cooling was performed. Secondary chlorination: put the dichlorodisulfide into the reaction Pan, wait for the temperature to drop to 50-60 ℃, start passing chlorine and stirring, control the reaction temperature at 48±3 ℃, pass chlorine until the reflux liquid is light yellow as the end point, the crude product was obtained. Finally, the product was obtained by distillation with a yield of about 80%. Secondary chlorination can also be by chloroacetic acid and benzoyl chloride reaction: In addition, with chloroacetic acid as raw material, by phosphorus trichloride chlorination, reaction temperature is 50-60 deg C; Or chloroacetic acid in sulfur powder, anhydrous zinc chloride in the presence, chloroacetyl Chloride can also be obtained by chlorination at 60 ℃, The yield was 85-93%. Chloroacetyl Chloride can also be obtained by the reaction of chloroacetic acid with chlorine and dichloromethane. There are several preparation methods. Chloroacetic acid as raw material chloroacetic acid in the presence of acid chlorinating agent slightly heated, can get Chloroacetyl Chloride, acid chlorinating agent phosphorus trichloride, phosgene, thionyl chloride, etc, the reaction temperature was 50 to 60 °c. The method has low cost and easy availability of raw materials. In industrial production, phosgene is also useful as acyl chlorinating agent, the reaction is convenient, no three wastes are produced, and the commonly used thionyl chloride in the laboratory is acyl chlorinating agent. In addition, the chloroacetic acid chlorine gas chlorination method can also be used, and the cost of the method is also low, but there is the formation of hypochlorous acid in the reaction process. ClCH2COOH + Cl2 → ClCH2COCl +[HOCl] glacial acetic acid is used as raw material to put glacial acetic acid into chlorination Pan, chlorosulfonic acid is slowly added, the temperature is raised to above 60 ℃, chlorine gas is introduced, stirring is started, and the temperature is continued, the reaction temperature was maintained at (98±3) ° C., and the reaction was carried out for 8 hours until the density of the reaction liquid phase reached 1.37 to 1.40, and the cooling with chlorine gas was stopped. Dichlorodisulfide was added to the above reaction solution, and chlorine gas was stirred until the temperature dropped to 50~60 ℃, and the reaction temperature was controlled (48±3)℃, chlorine gas time is about 5h, the reflux liquid shows light yellow as the end point to get the crude product, and finally by distillation to get the finished product. Reaction equation: CH3COOH + Cl2[HSO3Cl]→ ClCH2COOH + HCl4ClCH2COOH +3 Cl2[S2Cl2]→ 4ClCH2COCl +2SO2 ++ + 4HCl can also be used as catalyst with manganese dioxide and sulfur respectively, chloroacetyl Chloride can also be obtained by direct chlorination with acetic acid as raw material at secondary temperature. And acetic acid as raw material, and phosgene pipeline continuous reaction, can also produce Chloroacetyl Chloride. Reaction equation: CH3COOH + COCl2 → C1CH2COCl +}tCOOH acetyl chloride is added in a reaction pot with acetyl chloride as a raw material, and sulfuric acid is used as a catalyst, chlorine gas is introduced for chlorination to obtain Chloroacetyl Chloride. Reaction equation: CH3COCl + Cl2[H2SO4]→ ClCH2COCl + HCl the ketene and chlorine gas are respectively fed into the column reactor with ketene as raw material, and the reaction temperature is 15~30 ℃, the reaction is carried out in a certain solvent, and the reaction solution enters the storage tank, and then is distilled. The first fraction is acetyl chloride, then the solvent is distilled off, and then the product is obtained by distillation. Reaction equation: CH2C = O + Cl2 → ClCH2COCl this method is the most reasonable, Basically no three waste discharge, high product purity, high yield, purity of more than 99%, basically does not contain dichloroacetyl chloride, foreign montelukast company, Dow Chemical Company adopt this method to produce Chloroacetyl Chloride, the German BASF company uses phosgene chloroacetic acid method. The output of Chloroacetyl Chloride abroad is nearly 100,000 tons/a,40% ~ 60% for pesticides, 20% ~ 30% for medicine. |
