The invention discloses a method for preparing 3-hydroxypropyl
nitrate by
continuous flow, the 3-hydroxypropyl
nitrate is continuously prepared by a three-
step method of monoacetylation,
nitration and
hydrolysis, and the prepared compound can be confirmed by a 1H NMR (
nuclear magnetic resonance) characterization method. Meanwhile, through a two-step
continuous flow reaction technology and a two-step online continuous
separation technology which are connected in series,
continuous production is realized, and key reaction parameters such as material mixing, heating and
retention time can be accurately controlled, so that the product quality is improved, impurities are controlled, the
chemical reaction is allowed to react in a higher temperature range without temperature runaway, and the product quality is improved. The
reaction speed can be increased in reaction
thermodynamics, the production efficiency is improved, heat accumulation of kettle type reaction is avoided, and the reaction is
safer; the post-treatment process of the
flow chemistry is always online, so that the reaction is cleaner, automatic and online
sample collection is convenient to realize, reaction parameters are convenient to change, optimal
reaction conditions are convenient to find, and the process exploration and substrate screening efficiency is greatly improved.
