Description

Method for preparing o-chloronitrotoluene mixture
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of preparation of o-chloronitrotoluene, in particular to a method for preparing an o-chloronitrotoluene mixture.
Background
The o-chlorotoluene is used as a raw material for nitration, and the obtained product is o-chloronitrotoluene. Ortho-chloronitrotoluene contains mainly four isomers. O-chloronitrotoluene is an important intermediate or raw material in the fields of dyes, pesticides, medicines and the like. At present, common preparation means are as follows: beta zeolite is used as a catalyst to nitrify the o-chlorotoluene, so that the o-chloronitrotoluene is obtained.
Chinese patent discloses a method for catalyzing and nitrifying o-chlorotoluene by modified beta zeolite [ application number: cn201810605976.X, publication No.: CN108658775a includes: adding a solvent into a container under stirring, and then sequentially adding o-chlorotoluene, acetic anhydride, fuming nitric acid, a modified beta zeolite molecular sieve catalyst and silica supported perfluorinated sulfonic acid resin; and heating and refluxing for 1-9 h, and stopping the reaction.
Chinese patent discloses that direct nitration of o-chlorotoluene produces CLT acid [ application number: CN201010252894.5, publication No.: CN101906057a ]. In the technical scheme of the patent, the nitration process of the o-chlorotoluene is as follows: 1.0 to 1.1 mol of nitric acid, 10 to 30 g of acid beta zeolite are added into a reaction bottle, 1 to 1.3 mol of acetic anhydride is dripped into the reaction bottle at the temperature of 10 to 15 ℃ under stirring to react for half an hour, 1.0 mol of o-chlorotoluene is dripped into the reaction bottle at the temperature of 10 to 25 ℃ for 1 to 2 hours, the reaction is carried out for 30 minutes at the temperature of 25 ℃ after the dripping is finished, and the reaction is continued for 4 to 8 hours at the temperature of 30 to 45 ℃. Filtering while the zeolite is hot, and washing the acid beta zeolite with acetic acid for 2 to 3 times.
Although the technical proposal can effectively nitrify the o-chlorotoluene, the impurities are difficult to be effectively stripped by adopting the method, so that the product contains more impurities. The impurities comprise organic solvents added in the nitration process, including acetic anhydride and nitric acid ester. At the same time, such organic solvents are themselves corrosive and can easily introduce some other uncontrollable impurities during the production process. The impurities also contained added catalyst (zeolite beta). The catalyst is eventually separated for reuse. However, there is always a small portion of catalyst remaining during the separation process, and the remaining catalyst becomes part of the impurities.
In summary, the foregoing technical solutions are difficult to apply industrially on a large scale.
