2-methyl-4-methoxyl diphenylamine (DPA for short) is mainly used as an important intermediate of pressure-sensitive dyes, medicines, rubbers and pesticides.
The traditional process for preparing 2-methyl-4-methoxy diphenylamine uses m-cresol as a starting material, and obtains 2-methyl-4-methoxy bromobenzene through dimethyl sulfate etherification and bromine bromination, then the 2-methyl-4-methoxy bromobenzene is condensed with acetanilide, and then the 2-methyl-4-methoxy diphenylamine is obtained through hydrolysis under the strong alkaline condition. The process has long route, complex reaction, low yield and more three wastes; methyl sulfate is used for m-cresol etherification, and is a highly toxic chemical; bromine is consumed in a large amount, and this increases the cost due to the high price of bromine. These factors limit the application of conventional processes.
The synthesis technology of 2-methyl-4-methoxy diphenylamine reported in the current literature mainly comprises the following steps: 2-methyl-4-methoxy aniline and halogenated benzoic acid are added with an acid binding agent to generate condensation reaction in toluene to prepare a target product, and the reaction process system is subjected to negative pressure water removal. And then carrying out acid washing and three times of water washing to obtain a target product, and decarboxylating to obtain the product 2-methyl-4-methoxy diphenylamine. The salt generated by the reaction with the acid binding agent is insoluble in toluene, so that a large amount of solids, even caking, can be generated in a system by adding all the acid binding agents at one time, seriously affects the smooth performance of experiments, and causes incomplete raw material conversion, low product yield, and the recovery of unreacted raw materials is time-consuming and labor-consuming, excessive alkali and salt in the product need to be washed for many times, and the production cost is high; the reaction needs high vacuum distillation and water separation, so the process has high energy consumption; and due to the negative pressure, the boiling point of the material is reduced, the reflux temperature of the system is lower, and the reaction is slower. Therefore, the preparation process is difficult to industrially popularize at present.
