The invention provides a preparation method of triphenyl
bismuth, which specifically comprises the following steps: step 1, in a
nitrogen atmosphere, adding a 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution and a catalyst into
magnesium powder, then adding
chlorobenzene, stirring at
room temperature, then slowly adding the 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution of the
chlorobenzene, and after dropwise adding is completed, carrying out a reaction for 2-4 hours; continuously reacting to obtain a 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution of phenylmagnesium
chloride; step 2, slowly adding the 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution of phenylmagnesium
chloride obtained in the step 1 into the 2-methyltetrahydrofuran solution of
bismuth trichloride at
room temperature, heating to continue reaction after dropwise adding is completed, and cooling to
room temperature after the reaction is completed to obtain a triphenylbismuth
mixed solution; and step 3, slowly adding pure water into the triphenyl
bismuth mixed solution obtained in the step 2 to carry out
quenching reaction, then separating out a water phase, concentrating an organic phase to obtain a crude product, and crystallizing and purifying the crude product with
ethanol to obtain a pure triphenyl bismuth product. The
process operation steps are reduced, and the process
wastewater amount is reduced.
