This application discloses a method for synthesizing
adipic acid dihydrazide, belonging to the field of
organic synthesis technology. The method involves adding
adipic acid, an
alcohol solution, and a strongly acidic cation exchange resin catalyst to a reaction vessel for esterification to obtain
adipic acid dialkyl ester. The adipic acid dialkyl ester, a co-catalyst, and hydrazine
hydrate are then subjected to a hydrazolysis reaction in a three-stage temperature-controlled process to obtain the final product, adipic acid dihydrazide. The co-catalyst
system significantly reduces the
activation energy of the hydrazolysis reaction, and the amount of hydrazine
hydrate used is greatly reduced. The high efficiency conversion and low addition amount of hydrazine
hydrate result in a significant reduction in the free hydrazine content of the product, making the process simpler, more energy-efficient, and
environmentally friendly. The three-stage
temperature control, from low-
temperature induction nucleation to the medium-temperature main reaction and then to high-temperature completion, balances reaction selectivity and conversion rate, avoiding
side reaction problems caused by insufficient zone control under isothermal
reaction conditions. The catalyst is widely available and cost-controllable, and the
process conditions are mild, making it suitable for industrial production.
