Problems solved by technology

[0004] With the development of environmental economy, the shortcomings of the above methods are becoming more and more manifested, mainly as follows: (1) The atom economy is not high; (2) The reaction selectivity is poor; (3) A large amount of waste acid and waste water are produced during the reaction process ; (4) The process of recycling nitric acid mixed acid consumes a lot of energy
In view of the increasing demand for 4-nitro-ortho-xylene, traditional production methods have been unable to meet its demand, and a method for highly selective synthesis of 4-nitro-ortho-xylene is urgently needed to replace
With the development of environmental economy, the traditional production method of 4-nitro-o-xylene is not sustainable and must be replaced by more environmentally friendly methods

Abstract

The invention relates to a high-selectivity synthesis method of 4-nitro-ortho-xylene. The 4-nitro-ortho-xylene is highly selectively synthesized from ortho-xylene (serving as a basic raw material) in the presence of a catalyst and a nitration reagent (which is nitrogen dioxide instead of nitro-sulfuric acid). The method provided by the invention comprises the following steps of: adding the ortho-xylene and the catalyst into a reactor; adding the nitrogen dioxide into the reactor, and then magnetically stirring the mixture for complete reaction; and after the reaction is ended, terminating the reaction by using a saturated sodium bicarbonate solution and carrying out extraction. By adopting the synthesis method provided by the invention, the yield and the selectivity of the reaction can be obviously improved by the catalyst added in the reaction process; and the synthesis method provided by the invention is mild in reaction condition, good in selectivity, high in yield and applicable to engineering application.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for synthesizing 4-nitro-ortho-xylene, in particular to a method for synthesizing 4-nitro-ortho-xylene with nitrogen dioxide nitration with high selectivity by using ortho-xylene as a raw material. Background technique [0002] 4-Nitro-o-xylene and 3-nitro-o-xylene are two isomers of mononitro-o-xylene. They are very important chemical intermediates and are widely used in dyes, medicines, plastics , rubber additives, rust removal, sterilization and plant growth regulators, etc. Among them, 4-nitro-o-xylene is an intermediate of the new herbicide N-methalin, vitamin B2 and 3,4-dimethylaniline, and its market demand is much greater than that of 3-nitro-o-xylene. [0003] At present, the industrial production of 4-nitro-o-xylene at home and abroad mainly adopts the traditional method of nitric acid and sulfuric acid mixed acid for nitration. Using ortho-xylene as raw material, a crude mixture containing 4-nitro-ortho-xy...
