This invention relates to a method for preparing 2',4-dichloro-2-aminodiphenyl
ether, belonging to the field of
chemical synthesis technology. The preparation method is as follows: S1, m-
dinitrobenzene undergoes selective hydrogenation to obtain m-
nitroaniline; S2, in a
solvent, m-
nitroaniline reacts with N-chlorosuccinimide to obtain 2-chloro-5-
nitroaniline; S3, 2-chloro-5-nitroaniline, o-
nitrophenol, a base, and a
solvent undergo a co-heated reaction to obtain 2',4-dinitro-2-aminodiphenyl
ether; S4, 2',4-dinitro-2-aminodiphenyl
ether is dissolved in a
solvent, and FeCl3 solution,
sodium chloride, and Oxone are added. The reaction is catalyzed under
ultraviolet light to obtain 2',4-dichloro-2-aminodiphenyl ether. The preparation method of this invention uses readily available raw materials, has good reaction efficiency, produces less waste, is cleaner and more
environmentally friendly, and has a high conversion rate, making it suitable for industrial application.
