The invention provides a preparation method of 1, 4-
butanediol diglycidyl ether, and relates to the technical field of
organic synthesis. According to the invention, an efficient Lewis acid catalyst is adopted in an etherification reaction stage of 1, 4-
butanediol and
epoxy chloropropane, then a catalyst is added through a main reaction, an aqueous alkali solution is dropwise added in a segmented mode, and negative-pressure closed-loop
reflux dehydration is conducted in a segmented mode, so that the
water content of a
reaction system is reduced, the reaction forward process is promoted, the prepared 1, 4-
butanediol diglycidyl ether product is low in hydrolytic
chlorine and high in yield, the residual alkali amount and TOC of
wastewater are reduced, the problems of too high residual alkali amount and high
organic matter content in
saline water are solved, and industrial clean production of the 1, 4-butanediol
diglycidyl ether is realized; and the preparation method has the advantages of stable process,
continuous production operation, avoidance of tedious
solid caustic soda feeding, high safety, low
raw material consumption and low production cost.
