Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone preparation, and particularly relates to a catalyst for preparing 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone by heterogeneous catalysis, and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Polyether ether ketone is an important organic chemical material, which has excellent comprehensive performance such as high temperature resistance, self-lubrication and corrosion resistance. It is initially used in the field of national defense and military industry, and then gradually expands to the field of civil use. In the future, with the expansion of China's industrial scale, especially the development of new energy vehicle light weight, integrated circuit life extension, bone repair and other fields, the demand for polyether ether ketone will further increase, which will also drive the market demand for its key monomer 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone.

[0003] At present, the main synthesis routes of 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone which have been industrialized or have industrialization prospect mainly include the following: benzene compound condensation method, catalytic carbonylation method, dichloroethylene oxidation method, catalytic acylation method and diazotization method. Among them, the raw material acyl halide of benzene compound condensation method is expensive, which affects the economy. The dichloroethylene oxidation method has high yield and good product quality, but the raw material is difficult to obtain, the waste acid corrodes the equipment, and causes environmental pollution. The total yield of the catalytic acylation method is only 6%, and the raw material phosgene is toxic, which is difficult to use and control. The diazotization method has the problems of explosion danger of diazonium salt and equipment corrosion.

[0004] Patent CN113321574A discloses a technical route for synthesizing 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone from chlorobenzene and 4-chlorobenzyl chloride through three steps of Friedel-Crafts alkylation, oxidation and fluorination. The route has certain advantages such as cheap and easily available raw materials, simple and easy-to-control process operation. The second step is a homogeneous catalytic oxidation method for preparing 4,4'-dichlorobenzophenone from 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylmethane using manganese compounds as catalysts. Although this method has the advantages of mild reaction conditions and simple synthesis route, the catalysts used are Mn(OAc)3·2H2O, Mn(OAc)2·2H2O, Mn(OAc)2·4H2O, MnSO4·4H2O and MnCl2·4H2O, etc. Manganese-based catalysts, which have difficulties in catalyst recovery and utilization in the later stage, and difficulties in product separation and purification. Patent CN113304759A discloses a heterogeneous catalyst for preparing benzophenone from diphenylmethane by catalytic oxidation, in which cobalt and manganese are supported on a γ-Al2O3 carrier. Diphenylmethane is oxidized under solvent-free conditions to obtain benzophenone, which has high conversion rate and product selectivity.

[0005] The mechanism of methylene oxidation is free radical mechanism, which needs to activate C-H bond. When electron-withdrawing group chlorine atom is introduced into benzene ring, the electron density of benzene ring is reduced, and the oxidation of methylene in conjugated benzyl position is more difficult. The existing technology cannot well catalyze the oxidation of 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylmethane. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a catalyst with high activity and high selectivity for 4,4'-dichlorodiphenylmethane raw material and a catalytic oxidation process method. SUMMARY
