At present, the synthesis of o-nitrobenzaldehyde has more starting materials, mainly including o-nitrotoluene, o-nitrobenzyl alcohol, benzaldehyde, o-nitrobenzyl diacetate, o-nitrobenzoic acid and the like. The synthesis method using the o-nitrobenzol as the raw material has the shortest synthesis route and the highest efficiency.
In patent document CN 108164421 a; the method uses about 60 percent nitric acid as an oxidant, and oxidizes the o-nitrobenzyl alcohol to prepare the o-nitrobenzaldehyde at the temperature of 65-70 ℃, nitrous oxide is generated in the process, the corrosion to production equipment is great, and a great part of o-nitrobenzoic acid is generated due to the strong oxidizing property of the nitric acid, so that the yield of the product is only about 70 percent, and meanwhile, the waste liquid containing nitrate radicals is generated, and the requirement on environmental protection facilities is high.
In patent document CN 105585540a, the swern oxidation method is used to prepare o-nitrobenzaldehyde, the swern reagent used needs to be synthesized in multiple steps, the reaction needs to be carried out at-15 ℃, and the reaction yield is 76.6%.
In patent document CN 105439867a, o-nitrobenzyl alcohol is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide under reflux condition to obtain o-nitrobenzaldehyde, the reflux time is 20-30 hours, the reaction time is long, and o-nitrobenzaldehyde by-product is also generated.
Therefore, in the existing method for preparing o-nitrobenzaldehyde by oxidizing o-nitrobenzyl alcohol, the oxidation condition is too strong, the generation of o-nitrobenzoic acid by-products cannot be avoided, or the used oxidizing reagent needs to be synthesized in multiple steps, the treatment cost of the generated waste liquid is higher, and the large-scale and safe production of o-nitrobenzaldehyde is limited.
