Comparative example 1
U.S. patent document (publication No. US 4464381) discloses a preparation method of 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -3- (2-chlorophenyl) -propylene, which is characterized in that o-chlorobenzyl chloride is generated by chlorating o-chlorotoluene serving as a raw material by chlorine, then o-chlorobenzyl chloride and triphenylphosphine react to generate o-chlorobenzyl phosphate, and then the o-chlorobenzyl phosphate and p-fluoro acetophenone react under a strong alkaline condition to generate target products 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -3- (2-chlorophenyl) -propylene (namely 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -3- (2-chlorophenyl) chloropropene). However, the triphenylphosphine used therein is expensive, resulting in a relatively high cost. Most of the byproducts generated in the reaction are phosphorus-containing compounds, so that the pollution to the environment is large, and finally, the content and the yield of the target product 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -3- (2-chlorophenyl) -propylene are low (up to only 13 percent), so that the industrial production is difficult to realize.
Comparative example 2
The main process for producing 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -3- (2-chlorophenyl) chloropropene at home and abroad is to carry out Grignard reaction on p-fluoro-acetophenone or 4-fluoro-chloroacetophenone and o-chlorobenzyl, then carrying out dehydration reaction, and then carrying out chlorination to obtain the 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -3- (2-chlorophenyl) chloropropene. The specific flow is represented by the following reaction formula (5):
the Grignard reaction needed by the route belongs to a high-risk reaction, a large amount of solvent is needed, a lot of magnesium chloride or magnesium sulfate waste salt is difficult to treat, and the yield and quality of the Grignard reaction are low, which is difficult to succeed. The second step of dehydration reaction needs to add acetic anhydride, acetic acid, concentrated sulfuric acid and the like, and is also pollution-free and seriously affects the production environment.
Comparative example 3
One prior art route for the production of 2- (4-fluorophenyl) -3- (2-chlorophenyl) chloropropene is shown in the following formula (6):
the route can generate a large amount of phosphorus-containing wastewater, is also a high-pollution process, and is difficult to follow and is not suitable for industrial production.
