Description
(I) technical field

(II) background of the invention
Aceclofenac, chemical name 2- ((2, 6-dichlorophenyl) amino) phenylacetoxyacetic acid, english name: aceclofenac, structural formula:
in the traditional aceclofenac synthesis reaction, a heat conduction heating method is adopted, the reaction is usually heated to a higher temperature, the energy consumption is high, the traditional reaction time is longer, more impurities are generated in the acidolysis process, and the aftertreatment is difficult.
CN2007192213 discloses a preparation method of aceclofenac, which comprises the steps of using diclofenac sodium and tert-butyl chloroacetate, heating and reacting under the action of triethylamine to obtain tert-butyl aceclofenac, and carrying out acidolysis with formic acid to obtain aceclofenac. The method has the advantages of low reaction rate and low reaction yield.
The microwave is electromagnetic wave with frequency of 300 MHz-300 KMHz. The vibration frequency of the microwave is similar to the dipole vibration frequency of the substance molecules. In a microwave magnetic field, the molecular dipoles vibrate in a manner that the magnetic field vibrates in a manner that matches the vibration of the magnetic field, but the vibration lags behind the magnetic field, so that the molecules of matter absorb electromagnetic energy and vibrate at high speed, billions of times per second, to generate heat energy.
Most of the existing organic matters are polar and nonpolar compounds, polar molecular organic matters have a dipole effect, and when microwaves encounter polar molecules, high-speed violent oscillation of the molecules can be caused to generate a large amount of molecular heat; the nonpolar molecules generate induced and dispersed dipoles due to the existence of polar medium molecules, and can also generate vibration under the action of a high-frequency alternating electric field such as microwave to generate molecular heat. The traditional heating mode is to heat the substance from outside to inside by conduction, convection, radiation and other modes, the heating process is slow, and the system is heated unevenly. The chemical reaction under the assistance of the microwave generates molecular heat by promoting the vibration of substance molecules, so that the heating efficiency is high, and the system is uniformly heated. The reaction has the characteristics of low energy consumption, short reaction time, high reaction yield and the like.
