Embodiment 1

[0045] Add 50 g of raw materials o-cresol and 200 g of water into the reaction flask, add 62 g of liquid caustic soda, stir until clarified, then raise the temperature to 120° C., control the same temperature, and add dropwise a pre-prepared sodium chloroacetate aqueous solution (containing 44 g of chloroacetic acid, 100g of water), add in about 5 hours, keep warm for 2 hours until the reaction is complete; add hydrochloric acid to the bottle until the system pH = 1, then add 700ml of dichloroethane for extraction, keep at 50°C, let stand to separate layers, Collect the lower organic phase as the MPA feed solution for the next step reaction.

[0046]Add the MPA feed liquid obtained above into the reaction flask, add 0.2 g of the catalyst 1-isopropyl-4-methylimidazole phosphate, start stirring, keep the feed liquid temperature at 70°C, keep warm and start to pass chlorine gas until the raw material is completely converted Stop aeration, consume 35g of chlorine gas, cool to 10°C...

Embodiment 2

[0049] The difference from Example 1 is:

[0050] Add all the MPA solution obtained in Example 1 to the reaction flask, add 1 g of the catalyst 1,3,4-tri-n-pentyl imidazolium tetrafluoroborate, start stirring, keep the temperature of the feed liquid at 30°C, and start to pass chlorine gas while keeping warm until Stop aeration after the conversion of raw materials is complete, consume 47g of chlorine gas, cool down to 5°C, filter, and dry to obtain 84.3g of product MCPA, with a purity of 96% and a yield of 87.3% (calculated as o-cresol).

[0051] Wherein, o-cresol: the weight ratio of chlorine is 1.5.

[0052] EXAMPLES According to the Guidelines for Safety Risk Assessment of Fine Chemical Reactions (Trial Implementation) in the "Guiding Opinions of the State Administration of Work Safety on Strengthening the Safety Risk Assessment of Fine Chemical Reactions", the risk of the reaction process is assessed as Level 1.

Embodiment 3

[0054] The difference from Example 1 is:

[0055] Add all the MPA solution obtained in Example 1 to the reaction flask, add 0.7 g of catalyst 2-ethyl-4-isopropylimidazolium bromide, start stirring, keep the temperature of the material liquid at 58 ° C, keep warm and start to pass chlorine gas until the raw material is converted Completely stop aeration, consume 40g of chlorine gas, cool to 0°C, filter, and dry to obtain product MCPA85.1g with a purity of 96% and a yield of 90.1% (in terms of o-cresol).

[0056] Wherein, o-cresol: the weight ratio of chlorine is 1.2.

[0057] EXAMPLES According to the Guidelines for Safety Risk Assessment of Fine Chemical Reactions (Trial Implementation) in the "Guiding Opinions of the State Administration of Work Safety on Strengthening the Safety Risk Assessment of Fine Chemical Reactions", the risk of the reaction process is assessed as Level 1.

Abstract

The invention relates to a preparation method of 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, in particular to a method for preparing 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid through catalytic chlorination of 2-methylphenoxyacetic acid. The method comprises the following steps: by taking o-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MPA) as a raw material, performing a reaction in the presence of chlorine by virtue of a catalyst, and filtering, so as to obtain the 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), wherein the catalyst is imidazole ionic liquid. By means of the catalyst, the reaction activity is relatively high, the o-methyl phenoxyacetic acid is subjected to catalytic chlorination reaction, and the 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid is prepared at a high yield; besides, compared with existing literature reports, the reaction system is simple and convenient to operate, no wastewater is generated in the chlorination step, a high-quality product can be obtained, and large-scale production is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a preparation method of 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, in particular to a method for preparing 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid by catalyzing the chlorination of 2-methylphenoxyacetic acid. Background technique [0002] 2-Methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid, referred to as 2-Methyl-4-chloro, is a phenoxyacetic acid selective systemic conduction hormone herbicide, used to control annual or perennial broad-leaved weeds and some sedges, It is an important herbicide product. Its structure is as follows. [0003] [0004] According to the structure of the compound, its synthesis method mainly includes the route of first chlorination to generate chlorinated phenol, and then synthesizes the original drug; and the route of obtaining the original drug by chlorination with phenoxyacetic acid as a raw material. Because the method of first chlorination has the problem of excessive reaction to generate dioxin compounds, there is...
