use | p-chlorophenol is mainly used in pesticide, medicine, dye, plastic and other industries, as well as denatured agent of alcohol and selective solvent of refined mineral oil. It can also be used for microscopic analysis and plant growth promoters. Used to synthesize dyes, react with dilute nitric acid to form 1. dinitroliates are dye intermediates; a variety of dyes can be further synthesized, such as neutral brilliant green BL and so on. It is used to make dyes and drugs, as a denaturant of alcohol and a selective solvent for refined mineral oil. In the pesticide industry, it is mainly used for the synthesis of tripiconine, midacone, wool fungicide, anti-shrein (multifunctional plant growth regulator), propionate phosphorus (systemic insecticide), poisonous mouse phosphorus, Insecticide, mite egg ester (non-systemic acaricide), acaricide ester, acaricide ether; used in the pharmaceutical industry to carboxylate sodium 5-chloro-2-hydroxybenzoate, synthesis of antamine, p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid and other drugs; it is also used to synthesize the antioxidant BHA (butyl hydroxyanisole) and so on. o-chlorophenol is an intermediate of the insecticide profenofos. Used in organic synthesis. O-chlorophenol is obtained by phosgenation to obtain o-chlorophenyl chloroformate, which is an intermediate of carbamate insecticides. used in medicine, pesticides and dyes and other organic synthesis raw materials used in medicine, pesticides and dyes and other organic synthesis raw materials |
production method | p-chlorophenol has various preparation methods, which can be divided into the following types according to different raw materials: (1) phenol direct chlorination method: phenol is directly chlorinated to generate p (o, m) chlorine (benzene) phenol three isomers, which are separated to obtain p-chlorophenol. According to the difference of chlorinating agent and solvent used, it is divided into the following three methods: (a) thioyl chloride method: after heating and melting phenol, cooling to 40 ℃, slowly adding thioyl chloride, adding about 40-45min, stirring for 4h, heating to 30-40 ℃ for 4h, heating to 40-45 ℃ for 4h, absorbing the reaction tail gas with alkali solution, cooling to room temperature after reaction, washing with water, 10% sodium carbonate solution and water in turn, and distilled under reduced pressure, the 110-115 ℃(2.67kPa) fraction was collected to obtain p-chlorophenol. The method also produces 25-30% by-product o-chlorophenol. (B) Benzene solvent method: benzene is used as solvent, chlorine is used as chlorinating agent, and phenol is directly chlorinated to prepare this product. (C) Solvent-free chlorination method: using iron, bromine, etc. as catalysts, chlorine gas is passed into molten phenol, and chlorinated directly to prepare monochlorophenol. After the reaction solution is washed, it is distilled under reduced pressure to collect the fraction with p-chlorophenol content ≥ 95%. (2) p-dichlorobenzene hydrolysis method: using p-dichlorobenzene as raw material and benzene as solvent by hydrolysis with water or alcohol. (3) Chlorination solution mixed with o-chlorophenol and 2, 4-dichlorophenol is obtained by chlorination of sodium phenol. Decompression fractionation, collect 85-132 ℃(2.0kPa) high boiling point fraction, cool it to below 10 ℃, then p-chlorophenol is precipitated and separated. (4) It is obtained by diazotization and copper chloride replacement of p-aminophenol. (1) It is obtained by chlorination and acidification of sodium phenol. Stir the mixture of sodium phenol, water and ice, slowly add sodium hypochlorite solution below 20 ℃, control the temperature below 20 ℃, leave it overnight at room temperature, add concentrated hydrochloric acid under stirring to acidify to pH 2, wash once, then wash with 5% sodium carbonate solution until the pH of the washing solution is 4-5, after cooling, separate out the oil layer, carry out atmospheric fractionation, and then distill under reduced pressure to obtain the finished product. (2) Chlorination of phenol with chlorine. The molten phenol is added to benzene under stirring, and chlorine is introduced at 26±2 ℃ until the relative density of the chlorinated liquid phase reaches 0.954(23-25 ℃). After removing hydrogen chloride, the benzene is steamed out for recovery, steamed to 125 ℃(21.3kPa), cooled to 60 ℃, fractionated under reduced pressure, and collected at 75 ℃(2.67-3.33kPa) to obtain o-chlorophenol. The chlorination reaction also produces p-chlorophenol and 2, 4-dichlorophenol, which are collected as high boiling substances during vacuum fractionation and can be used as by-products after separation. The yield of o-chlorophenol (above 95%) is nearly 50%, and the yield of p-chlorophenol (above 95%) is about 25.5%. o-chlorophenol is a co-product for the production of p-chlorophenol. chlorinated phenol is obtained by chlorination of phenol, and p-chlorophenol and o-chlorophenol can be obtained by separation. |
