Abstract

This invention discloses a method for preparing 5-chlorofuronic acid, comprising the following steps: 1) preparing sodium hydroxide solution and 5-chlorofuraldehyde solution in two beakers respectively; 2) adding the sodium hydroxide solution prepared in step 1) to the beaker containing the 5-chlorofuraldehyde solution, and then stirring. After stirring evenly, adding a copper-cobalt catalyst, and then adding an oxidant solution dropwise while stirring. After the addition is complete, stirring is continued. After the reaction is complete, hydrochloric acid is added to adjust the pH value of the reaction system. When the pH value is 2-3.5, most of the solvent is removed by vacuum distillation, and a solid precipitates out. The reacted material is filtered to obtain the filtered solid, which is dried to obtain a light yellow solid, which is the 5-chlorofuronic acid to be prepared. The preparation process of this invention is simple, and the raw materials and solvents used are all green and environmentally friendly, and the yield of the prepared 5-chlorofuronic acid is high.
