The invention relates to a synthesis technology for 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzene
acetyl chloride, comprising the following steps of: putting
thionyl chloride, a catalyst and 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzene
acetic acid into a reaction kettle in batches, and controlling temperature to carry out reaction; and after the reaction, distilling (high vacuum) in a heating way in the reaction kettle, and acquiring a final product. The preparation method of the 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzene
acetic acid can comprise the following steps of: carrying out chloromethylation reaction by taking trimethylbenzene,
formaldehyde and concentrated
hydrochloric acid as raw materials, adding
toluene to extract after reacting, and washing to obtain a
toluene solution of 2, 4, 6-trimethyl
benzyl chloride; taking the
toluene solution of 2, 4, 6-trimethyl
benzyl chloride and the
sodium cyanide as raw materials, adding a
phase transfer catalyst, reflowing in a heating way to carry out
cyanation reaction, washing by adding water after reacting, distilling
oil phase to recover toluene and
mesitylene, and rectifying to obtain 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzene
acetonitrile; and hydrolyzing the 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzene
acetonitrile, centrifuging to obtain a 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzeneacetic acid crude product, and optionally selecting and carrying out the aftertreatment to obtain the 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzeneacetic acid. The content of the 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzene
acetyl chloride synthesized by the method disclosed by the invention is more than or equal to 98.0%, and the content of the 2, 4, 6-trimethylbenzene
acetonitrile is less than or equal to 0.5%.
