Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable the separation and purification of chlorotoluene preventing the corrosion of a distillation column caused by the formation of hydrogen chloride, by distilling a nucleus-chlorination reaction mixture of toluene in the presence of DMSO, thereby suppressing the decomposition and polymerization of a side-chain chlorination product. CONSTITUTION:A reaction mixture produced by the nucleus-chlorination of toluene and containing a slight amount of side-chain chlorinated by-product is added with 0.0001-1wt.% of DMSO and distilled according to conventional distillation process to effect the separation and purification of monochlorotoluenes such as o- or p-isomer and various kinds of dichlorotoluenes without causing the corrosion of the distillation column made of iron, nickel, etc., nor lowering the distillation efficiency caused by the decomposition of the side-chain chlorinated product and the deposition of polymers. The obtained chlorotoluene is useful as a production intermediate for pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals.

(Prior art and problems) Monochlorotoluene can be produced by nuclear chlorination of toluene in the presence of a chlorination catalyst such as iron chloride and antimony chloride, but at this time, in the chlorotoluene mixture, Around 200 ppm of side chain chlorinated products such as benzyl chloride and chlorobenzyl chloride are produced as by-products.

This side chain chlorinated product has high reactivity and is easily decomposed.
Polymerization occurs and even during storage at room temperature, it gradually decomposes and produces color and turbidity, and when processed at high temperatures such as during distillation, this tendency is further accelerated and even insoluble and infusible compounds are produced. is recognized. These are caused by the fact that the side chain chloride easily decomposes and causes a dehalogenation reaction to produce diphenylalkyl-type metals.Although there is no established theory for the formation diagram of the dehydrohalogenation reaction, This is thought to be caused by moisture, dust, light, heat, metal contamination, and even hydrogen halides produced by decomposition.

- When attempting to separate and purify chlorotoluene, the distillation column required for distillation requires approximately 200 plates because the boiling points of the two compounds are very close, and the material of the distillation column is inevitably made of metals such as iron or nickel. I have no choice but to choose.

Therefore, if a chlorotoluene mixture containing even a small amount of side chain chloride is repeatedly distilled in a distillation column made of metal such as iron or nickel, the decomposition of the side chain chloride will occur. As a result, a problem arises in that the distillation column is corroded by the generated hydrogen chloride, and further problems occur such as a reduction in distillation efficiency due to the adhesion of the generated decomposition products and polymers in the distillation column.

In addition, as a method to prevent corrosion of the distillation column, by heating a chlorotoluene mixture containing side chain chlorides with sodium hydroxide in an autoclave before the distillation process, the generated side chain chlorides are removed. However, this method has problems such as the production of wastewater containing organic matter, which is difficult to treat.

(Means for Solving the Problems) In view of the current situation, the present inventors have conducted intensive research in order to obtain a method for industrially separating and purifying chlorotoluene by suppressing the decomposition double polymerization of side chain chlorinated products. As a result of repeated steps, by adding dimethyl sulfoxide to a chlorotoluene mixture containing chlorinated side chains and distilling them, the decomposition9 polymerization of chlorinated side chains was suppressed, and chlorotoluene was separated and purified without generating hydrogen chloride. Based on this finding, the present invention was completed.
