The invention provides a preparation method of dicapryl
carbonate, belongs to the field of preparation of dicapryl
carbonate, and can solve the problems of unstable
reaction system, low
raw material conversion rate, low catalyst efficiency, poor phase contact effect, many side reactions, low product purity and
poor quality in the existing preparation method of dicapryl
carbonate. The preparation method of dicapryl carbonate comprises the following steps: fully mixing n-caprylic
alcohol, a basic catalyst and a cosolvent, continuously dropwise adding low-grade dialkyl carbonate into the
mixed solution for 5-10 hours through a liquid material
distributor, carrying out ester exchange reaction, continuously extracting low-boiling-point substances, controlling the
reflux quantity, and carrying out reduced pressure
distillation to obtain the dicapryl carbonate. The method comprises the following steps: adding a cosolvent into a reaction solution, enabling the cosolvent with an initial addition amount to always exist in the reaction solution, after the reaction is finished, dealcoholizing by reduced pressure
distillation, and removing impurities by washing to obtain a crude product of dioctyl carbonate, and rectifying to obtain a dioctyl carbonate product. The preparation method is high in
raw material conversion rate and high in product yield, and the purity of the obtained product is gt; the content of impurities is low, and the method can be applied to preparation of
cosmetics.
