Description

Preparation method of high-selectivity 4-chloro-2-methylphenol
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of organic synthesis, in particular to a preparation method of high-selectivity 4-chloro-2-methylphenol.
Background
4-chloro-2-methylphenol has wide application, is an important chemical raw material for organic synthesis and fine chemical intermediates, and is widely applied to various fields of medicines, pesticides, solvents, dyes, pigments, mildewproof agents, surfactants, spices and the like. The synthesis method comprises the steps of introducing chlorine gas under the action of Lewis acid (lithium chloride, copper chloride and aluminum chloride) to generate a mixture of 4-chloro-2-methylphenol, 6-chloro-2-methylphenol and 4, 6-dichloro-2-methylphenol, and has low reaction selectivity and high rectification cost due to small difference between boiling points of raw materials and products. The preparation of 4-chloro-2-methylphenol proposed in US patent 2494993 can be purified by secondary distillation, but the process gives low product yield and purity. US patent 4429168 reports that monochlorophenol can be isolated by complexation with compounds, but this process is too costly to be suitable for industrial production. It has been reported in the Japanese literature (Japanese society for chemical industries, 1987, (9): 1753-1755) that cuprous chloride produced by the reaction is converted into copper chloride again by the action of chlorine gas, which is introduced into an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution of phenol and copper chloride, and reacted at a high temperature, and hydrochloric acid is also produced as a by-product. The process has the main problems that the solubility of chlorine in water is low, a large amount of chlorine needs to be introduced, the chlorine has strong oxidizability and corrosivity and is easy to leak, the chlorine is one of the most dangerous chemicals in China, and meanwhile, the process needs to add large excess copper chloride, and the yield can only reach 81.8%.
