[ Synthesis procedure ]
In the synthesis step (a) of the present application, sulfuryl fluoride, ammonia gas and triethylamine are reacted in the presence of a solvent in a reaction apparatus to obtain a mixture containing (SO)2F-NH-SO2F)·Et3N, triethylamine hydrogen fluoride and triethylamine stream α 1;
in some embodiments, in step (a), the reaction between sulfuryl fluoride, ammonia and triethylamine involves primarily the following main reactions:
6SO2F2+3NH3+5Et3N→3(SO2F-NH-SO2F)·Et3N+2Et3N·(HF)n
wherein n is an integer of 1 to 12;
at the same time, the following side reactions are also accompanied:
6NH3+3SO2F2+5Et3N→3NH2-SO2-NH2+2Et3N·(HF)n
wherein n is an integer of 1 to 12.
In some embodiments, in step (a), the ratio of sulfuryl fluoride: ammonia gas: the molar ratio of triethylamine is (1.5-3.5) to 1 (1-6), and can be (2-3) to 1 (1-5). In the present application, when the ammonia gas is excessive, side reactions are liable to occur, so that the reaction mixture becomes turbid, resulting in difficulty in subsequent filtration. Meanwhile, in order to lighten the color of the material, the contact between sulfuryl fluoride and triethylamine for a long time needs to be avoided. Therefore, preferably, in step (a), acetonitrile and triethylamine are firstly added into the reaction device, then partial ammonia gas is introduced, preferably 2% -15%, preferably 3% -10% of the total amount of ammonia gas is introduced, and finally the reaction is carried out by introducing ammonia gas and sulfuryl fluoride simultaneously.

Too high temperature and pressure can lead to more side reactions, and in addition, too high temperature and solvent are easy to vaporize, thus causing too large pressure in the reaction kettle and influencing safe production.

Optionally, the internal pressure of the evaporator is from-0.01 MPa to-0.1 MPa. In this context, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the water used in the condenser contains 30-50% by weight of an anti-freezing liquid, which may be ethylene glycol, glycerol.

In some embodiments, in step (c), oil phase α 3 further comprises 5 wt.% to 15 wt.% water.
In some embodiments, in step (c), αWater (W)Comprises 75-80 wt% of water and 20-25 wt% of triethylamine hydrogen fluoride salt.

Unexpectedly, the inventors have discovered that extraction with an extraction column can be achieved for impurity ions (e.g., F)-) Better separation. After the treatment of the static mixer, the content of F ions in alpha 3 is more than or equal to 1000ppm, and more LiOH needs to be consumed in the subsequent alkalization process; however, the content of F ions in alpha 3 is less than or equal to 100ppm after the treatment of the extraction tower.
In the present application, the determination of the F ion content and the water content in the stream is a method well known to the art, for example the determination of the F ion content by alizarin complex colorimetry, the determination of the water content by Karl Fischer's method.
