Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chemical industry, and particularly relates to a preparation method of diphenyl chlorinated phosphate. Background Art

[0002] Diphenyl phosphate (DPCP) is an important organophosphorus intermediate used not only in the synthesis of diphenyl phosphate azide but also as an intermediate in the synthesis of flame retardants, such as the bisphosphate flame retardants neopentyl glycol diphenyl phosphate (NDP), bisphenol A bis(diphenyl phosphate) (BDP), and N,N'-bis(diphenyl phosphate)piperazine. DPCP is also used as a highly efficient condensing agent in polycondensation reactions. Therefore, DPCP is an indispensable chemical raw material intermediate.

[0003] Currently, DPCP is typically prepared by partial esterification and distillation of phenol and phosphorus oxychloride in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst, such as aluminum chloride or calcium chloride. This reaction produces some monoesterified products, monophenyl dichloride and triphenyl phosphate, resulting in low yields and high production costs. Furthermore, the presence of the catalyst during distillation can cause DPCP to decompose, reducing product purity and yield. Existing technologies differ primarily in the catalyst treatment methods, primarily in the following aspects: (1) removing the aluminum chloride catalyst from the system through two distillations increases energy consumption and costs; (2) Gao Cunsheng et al. deactivate the aluminum chloride catalyst by adding water to the reaction system. This technique is not only ineffective, but the addition of water also causes hydrolysis of the main product; (3) sodium carbonate is added to the reaction system in the hope that it will react with the calcium chloride catalyst to form calcium carbonate and sodium chloride as a precipitate. However, this technique suffers from the disadvantage that the added sodium carbonate is insoluble in the reaction system and therefore does not react with the catalyst to form a precipitate. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing diphenyl chlorinated phosphate, which has the characteristics of high yield, safety, cleanliness and low cost.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0006] The present invention provides a method for preparing chlorinated diphenyl phosphate. The method uses a catalyst and a reactant, phosphorus oxychloride, to form a stable complex at a specific temperature, so that one chlorine atom in the phosphorus oxychloride is protected, thereby suppressing the formation of a by-product, triphenyl phosphate, during the reaction process, thereby increasing the yield of chlorinated diphenyl phosphate. Furthermore, the dissociation temperature of the complex and the boiling point of the catalyst are both lower than the distillation temperature of the main product. Therefore, the catalyst can be separated first during the distillation process without affecting the main product. The specific steps are as follows:

[0007] (1) adding phenol and phosphorus oxychloride as reactants to a reactor according to a mass ratio, and then adding a catalyst, heating and stirring the system to a certain temperature, continuing to heat the system under reflux until the temperature is fixed, reacting until no hydrogen chloride gas is generated, and detecting the content of diphenyl chlorinated phosphate and triphenyl phosphate;

[0008] (2) After the reaction is completed, the reactants are transferred to a distillation tower for vacuum distillation. The distillation temperature is controlled to separate the generated complex to obtain the catalyst and the by-product phenyl dichlorophosphate. The temperature is further increased and the distillation is continued to obtain diphenyl chlorinated phosphate;

[0009] The catalyst is pyridine, substituted pyridine, or a salt formed by pyridine and / or substituted pyridine.

[0010] Furthermore, in the step (1), the mass ratio of the reactants phenol to phosphorus oxychloride is 1:1 to 3:1, and the mass ratio of the catalyst to phosphorus oxychloride is 0.001:1 to 2.5:1.

[0011] Furthermore, the catalyst in step (1) is a substituted pyridine having the structural formula:

[0012]

[0013] Furthermore, the substitution position of the R group in the formula is not limited; the number of the R group substitutions is one or two;

[0014] The R group is:

[0015]

[0016] Furthermore, in the step (1), after the reactants are added, the system temperature is 50-100° C., the reaction temperature is 90-150° C., and the reaction time is 3-30 h.

[0017] Furthermore, in the step (2), the separation temperature of the phosphorus oxychloride complex is 140-170° C., and the temperature of distilling to obtain diphenyl chlorophosphate is 180-220° C.

[0018] Contains at least the following beneficial technical effects:

[0019] (1) The preferred catalyst of the present invention can form an effective complex with one of the chlorine atoms in the reactant phosphorus oxychloride, inhibiting the formation of triphenyl phosphate during the reaction, thereby increasing the yield of diphenyl chlorophosphate.

[0020] (2) The dissociation temperature of the complex is lower than the distillation temperature of triphenyl chlorophosphate, so the catalyst is collected in advance during distillation and can be reused, reducing energy consumption and costs. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
