Embodiment 1

[0017] Add 20mg of elemental iodine and 10mg of iron powder into 30ml of toluene solution. Under the condition of avoiding light, uniformly and slowly pass chlorine gas for about 3-5 hours. The temperature range of the whole process is controlled within the range of 40-50℃, and the intermediate gas phase is monitored until the end of the reaction. Samples were taken for gas chromatography. The detection results are as follows: the conversion rate of toluene is 99.91%, the content of o-chlorotoluene is 68.1%, the content of p-chlorotoluene is 29.21%, the content of m-chlorotoluene is 0.15% and the total content of polychlorinated toluene is 2.45%.

Embodiment 2

[0019] Add 10mg of elemental iodine and 30mg of iron powder into 30ml of toluene solution. Under the condition of avoiding light, uniformly and slowly pass chlorine gas for 3-5 hours. The temperature range of the whole process is controlled within the range of 40-50℃, and the intermediate gas phase is monitored until the reaction is completed. Samples were taken for gas chromatography. The test results are as follows: the conversion rate of toluene is 99.95%, the content of o-chlorotoluene is 64.95%, the content of p-chlorotoluene is 32.34%, the content of m-chlorotoluene is 0.13% and the total content of polychlorinated toluene is 2.53%.

Abstract

The invention provides a novel method for preparing o-chlorotoluene through chlorinating toluene. The technical scheme is as follows: the method comprises the steps of taking a mixture of elemental iodine and iron powder as a catalyst under dark conditions, adding the catalyst into a toluene solution, slowly introducing chlorine gas, controlling the temperature of a whole chlorination process to be 40-50 DEG C, and controlling an introduced chlorine gas volume so as to enable the toluene conversion ratio to be not lower than about 99%. According to the method, after the catalyst is applied to toluene chlorination, the percent content of o-chlorotoluene in a product is increased effectively, the content ratio of o-chlorotoluene to p-chlorotoluene reaches 2.0, the content of m-chlorotoluene is lower than 0.2%, and the total content of poly-chlorotoluene is lower than 5.0%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemistry and relates to a new method for preparing o-chlorotoluene by selective chlorination of toluene. Background technique [0002] Ortho-chlorotoluene (OCT) is an important raw material intermediate for pesticides, dyes, medicines and paints, and a medium-boiling organic solvent with good performance. At present, o-chlorotoluene is being increasingly widely used in organic synthesis. For example, direct application of o-chlorotoluene can synthesize thiazole compounds, high-pressure greases and oils, insulating paints for colleges and universities, etc. The indirect application of o-chlorotoluene can synthesize o-chlorobenzyl chloride, o-chlorobenzonitrile, o-toluidine, phenylacetic acid, o-chlorobenzoic acid, o-cresol and other valuable intermediates in pesticides, dyes, medicines and dyes. [0003] In recent years, with the intensification of the subsequent product development of o-chlorotoluene, ...
