Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of chemical materials, and in particular, relates to a method for co-production of chlorosilane and iodoethane. BACKGROUND

[0002] Tert-butyl dimethyl chlorosilane is an important silane reagent in organic synthesis, which realizes high-selective protection of hydroxyl, amino and other groups by virtue of the steric effect of tert-butyl group, is a standard reagent for synthesis of steroid drugs, polypeptides and the like, and is also used for synthesis of complex molecules such as nucleosides and sugars; as an intermediate for anti-AIDS drugs, antibiotics and liquid crystal materials, plays a pivotal role in the fields of medicine and fine chemical industry, and has mild deprotection conditions, better liquid stability than trimethyl chlorosilane, and the by-product can be recycled, so as to become a key connecting reagent for laboratory and industrial production with 'high-selective protection + controllable cost'.

[0003] Tert-butyl diphenyl chlorosilane is a silane reagent in organic synthesis, which forms a high-stability protecting group by virtue of the double steric hindrance of tert-butyl and phenyl groups, can resist strong acid, strong base and other harsh conditions, is used for synthesis of complex drugs such as paclitaxel side chain and weather-resistant liquid crystal materials, and although the cost is relatively high (800-1000 yuan per kilogram) and the deprotection requirement is high, it is irreplaceable in high-end raw pharmaceuticals and electronic chemicals due to reduction of side reactions, and is a landmark reagent for synthesis of complex molecules.

[0004] Dimethyl vinyl chlorosilane, also known as chlorodimethylvinylsilane, is a functional organic silane compound with excellent performance, which can be used to synthesize other important functional organic silicon intermediates, can be used to synthesize other functional organic silicon intermediates by using the unsaturated bond Si-CH=CH2 on the silane molecule, and can also be used as an active end-capping agent for producing high-performance silicone oil and silicone rubber materials. In addition, dimethyl vinyl chlorosilane can also be used as a surfactant, a lubricant, a secondary addition agent, a casting agent, a cleaning agent and the like. Dimethyl vinyl chlorosilane has a wide application in the manufacturing of plastic products. In general, dimethyl vinyl chlorosilane is a multifunctional organic silane compound with wide application prospect and economic value.

[0005] The synthesis methods of the above three kinds of chlorosilanes are various, such as direct synthesis method, hydrogenation method, halogenation method, hydrolysis-chlorination method, Grignard reagent method and disproportionation reaction method. However, the existing technical solutions have significant deficiencies in actual application: the traditional chlorosilane preparation process is difficult to improve the product yield while ensuring safety.

[0006] In addition, the chlorinating reagents (such as hydrogen chloride gas, tetrachlorosilane, trimethyl chlorosilane and the like) used in the current chlorination method generally have the following defects: low reaction activity and insufficient selectivity, complex by-product treatment process, hidden dangers in stability and operation safety, and high production cost.

[0007] Iodoethane, commonly known as ethyl iodide, is a colorless and clear heavy liquid in appearance and shape, soluble in ethanol, ether and most organic solvents. Iodoethane plays an important role in alkanes and has quite extensive and very important uses. Iodoethane is an important intermediate in organic synthesis and an important raw material for the synthesis of MO source, used as an ethylating agent, a thyroid tumor treatment drug, a plant growth stimulant, etc. It is used as an auxiliary agent in the pharmaceutical industry and as an analytical reagent, and is also used in organic synthesis, thyroid tumor treatment drugs, plant growth stimulants, etc.

[0008] Iodoethane can also be synthesized in various ways. The traditional method is to use the reaction of alcohol with phosphorus triiodide to generate, however, these reactions generate oxygen H3PO3. Another method is to use hydrogenated acid to crack dialkyl ether, but many ethers are not easy to obtain. Some modern synthesis methods include the reaction of alcohol with iodide in the presence of p-toluenesulfonic acid, excess sodium chloride nucleophilic substitution, and fast reaction of organoborane with iodine in the presence of base. In the prior art, another process uses a chlorinating agent and dimethyl vinyl ethoxy silane as a raw material (such as patent CN118852233A), however, this process has significant drawbacks. In the preparation process of this process, ether is used as a solvent, aluminum chloride is used as a catalyst, ether is extremely volatile, and its vapor is extremely explosive when mixed with air and exposed to fire, which poses a serious safety hazard to the production process. At the same time, aluminum chloride generates a large amount of aluminum-containing waste residue after participating in the reaction, which not only increases the cost of waste treatment, but also pollutes the soil and water if not properly treated, harming the ecological environment. In addition, the steps of separating the solvent and catalyst from the product after the reaction are complicated, which not only leads to low product purification efficiency, but also greatly increases the production cost. There is also a process for preparing iodoethane by reacting diethyl sulfate with an iodine-containing solution (such as patent CN113831213A), but diethyl sulfate is prone to produce some difficult-to-treat sulfur-containing byproducts during the reaction, polluting the environment; and due to the high reactivity and strong toxicity of diethyl sulfate, there is a high safety risk (leakage, explosion) during use, which is easily hydrolyzed in a humid environment to generate toxic gas (sulfur dioxide) that is harmful to the environment, and improper handling can cause environmental pollution.

[0009] With the acceleration of technological progress and industrialization, the market demand for chlorosilane and iodoethane continues to grow, and its pulling effect is increasingly significant. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to carry out production research on chlorosilane and iodoethane, and how to efficiently prepare these two compounds has always been a technical demand in the field. Developing a method for co-producing chlorosilane and iodoethane has become a focus of the industry. SUMMARY

[0038] Beneficial effects

On the one hand, the dependence on solvents and catalysts in traditional processes is abandoned, which not only avoids the purification problems caused by solvent residues, effectively simplifies the production process and reduces production costs, but also reduces the potential harm to the environment caused by the use of chemical reagents, in line with the development concept of green chemistry. On the other hand, during the reaction process, chlorosilane and its by-products can be collected in real time. The collected by-products can be used as raw materials for the subsequent preparation of iodoethane, greatly improving the utilization rate of raw materials, turning waste into treasure, extending the value of the industrial chain, and further enhancing the economic benefits of the entire process.

[0040] In the preparation process of chlorosilane, the use of thionyl chloride as a chlorinating agent has significant advantages. With the characteristics of high reaction efficiency, simple product separation and controllable cost, it has become a commonly used chlorinating agent in the field of organic synthesis, especially in the production of pharmaceutical intermediates, pesticides and fine chemicals.

[0042] In the preparation process of iodoethane, the by-product of chlorosilane, diethyl sulfite, is used as a raw material, which shows excellent comprehensive advantages and is highly consistent with the concept of green chemistry. From the perspective of safety and environmental protection, diethyl sulfite itself has low toxicity, greatly reducing the safety hazards in the production process and making operation and management more convenient. Moreover, the by-products generated after the reaction of this raw material are easy to handle, greatly reducing the potential harm to the environment. In terms of economic cost, using diethyl sulfite as a raw material, the reaction conditions are relatively mild, the requirements for equipment pressure resistance and temperature resistance are low, effectively reducing the investment and long-term operation cost of equipment.
