Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of fine chemical synthesis technology, and more specifically to a method for preparing 4-fluoroacetophenone. Background Technology
[0002] 4-Fluoroacetophenone is a key intermediate in the fields of pharmaceuticals, pesticides and new materials. Its core preparation route is the synthesis of fluorobenzene and acylation agents through Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction. This process is widely used in industrial production. Traditional Friedel-Crafts acylation reactions often use Lewis acids such as AlCl3 and ZnCl2 as catalysts. However, these processes have many inherent drawbacks that severely restrict their economic and environmental benefits for industrial application: First, Lewis acid catalysts are highly corrosive, requiring reaction equipment made of expensive Hastelloy materials, significantly increasing equipment purchase and maintenance costs. Second, the catalysts cannot be recycled, generating large amounts of waste acid after each reaction. The environmental treatment of this waste acid is complex and costly, failing to meet the requirements of green chemical development. Third, the reaction is exothermic and intense; if heat is not removed promptly, side reactions such as ortho-substitution and polyacylation can easily occur, resulting in the selectivity of 4-fluoroacetophenone remaining at only 85%–90%, reducing the yield of the target product. Fourth, the utilization rate of raw materials is low; the recovery of unreacted fluorobenzene and acyling agents is difficult and has a high loss rate, further increasing the total production cost.
[0003] In recent years, with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, solid acid catalysts, such as zeolites, heteropoly acids, and ion exchange resins, have gradually become a research hotspot for replacing traditional Lewis acid catalysts due to their advantages of low corrosivity and easy separation. However, existing solid acid catalysts still face insurmountable technical bottlenecks when applied to the fluorobenzoylation reaction to prepare 4-fluoroacetophenone, failing to meet the demands of industrial production: active centers are easily covered by carbon deposits or undergo structural degradation, resulting in short catalyst lifetimes; they lack efficient shape-selective catalytic performance, with insufficient para-selectivity and high content of byproducts, especially o-fluoroacetophenone; severe carbon deposition occurs during the reaction, requiring harsh catalyst regeneration conditions and resulting in low regeneration efficiency, making continuous and stable operation impossible; and overall continuous operation stability is poor, making it difficult to adapt to the large-scale, long-cycle requirements of industrial production involving tens of thousands of tons.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a method for preparing 4-fluoroacetophenone to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems mentioned in the background section by providing a method for preparing 4-fluoroacetophenone, which involves modifying Zn... 2+ The synergistic effect of the Hβ zeolite catalyst and the coupled heat transfer process of reactive distillation has enabled the low-corrosion, high-selectivity and long-cycle continuous production of 4-fluoroacetophenone.

Mix the pretreated fluorobenzene and acetyl chloride in a certain proportion and continuously pass them into a container filled with modified Zn. 2+ In a fixed-bed catalytic reactor with Hβ zeolite catalyst, an acylation reaction was carried out at 50-60℃ to obtain a crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture. S3. The crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture is subjected to light-removal treatment and distillation treatment in sequence to obtain the 4-fluoroacetophenone product.

[0016] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. The materials and instruments used in the following embodiments are all commercially available.
[0017] A method for preparing 4-fluoroacetophenone includes steps S1 to S3.
[0018] S1. Hβ zeolite was placed in a zinc nitrate solution and subjected to ion exchange at 60-70℃ for 2-3 hours. The mixture was then filtered, dried, and calcined sequentially to obtain modified Zn. 2+ / Hβ zeolite catalyst; pretreatment of fluorobenzene and acetyl chloride.
[0019] In step S1, the concentration of the zinc nitrate solution is 0.5~1.0 mol / L, the solid-liquid ratio of Hβ zeolite to zinc nitrate solution is 1:10~15, the calcination temperature is 500~550℃, and the time is 3~4 h; modified Zn 2+ Zn in Hβ zeolite catalyst 2+ The loading rate is 2~3%, modified Zn 2+ / Hβ zeolite catalyst with a specific surface area ≥350m² 2 / g, pore size is 0.5~0.8nm.
[0020] This preparation method uses Zn 2+Directional bonding with Hβ zeolite ensures that Zn can be preserved within a temperature range of 60~70℃. 2+ It fully penetrates into the porous structure of Hβ zeolite, interacting with the H in the zeolite framework. + This achieves efficient energy exchange while avoiding excessively high temperatures that could cause the Hβ zeolite channels to collapse, and excessively low temperatures that could lead to Zn degradation. 2+ The problem of uneven loading was addressed. After ion exchange, Zn underwent sequential filtration, drying, and calcination to further enhance its yield. 2+ The interaction with the Hβ zeolite framework enables Zn 2+ Firmly anchored to the active sites of Hβ zeolite, it effectively avoids the degradation of Zn by traditional homogeneous catalysts or simple supported catalysts during the reaction process. 2+ The catalytic activity decreases due to loss. That is, this preparation method utilizes Zn... 2+ Ion exchange modification of Hβ zeolite enhances its acid strength and pore structure, thereby improving its adsorption and directional catalytic ability for fluorobenzene. Furthermore, the modified Zn obtained by this preparation method… 2+ / Hβ zeolite catalyst is non-corrosive, and the equipment can be made of 316L stainless steel.
[0021] The specific method for pretreating fluorobenzene and acetyl chloride includes: dehydrating fluorobenzene to a moisture content ≤0.05% by mass, and removing free chlorine from acetyl chloride to a free chlorine content ≤0.01% by mass. The purity of the pretreated fluorobenzene is ≥99.5%, and the purity of the pretreated acetyl chloride is ≥99%.
[0022] S2. Mix the pretreated fluorobenzene and acetyl chloride in a certain proportion and continuously pass them into a container filled with modified Zn. 2+ In a fixed-bed catalytic reactor with Hβ zeolite catalyst, an acylation reaction was carried out at 50-60℃ to obtain a crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture.
[0023] Fluorobenzene and acetyl chloride are pretreated and then directly fed into a fixed-bed catalytic reactor to avoid hydrolysis side reactions caused by contact with water during storage.
[0024] Specifically, in the acylation reaction, the molar ratio of fluorobenzene to acetyl chloride is 1:1.05. The fluorobenzene and acetyl chloride are first mixed uniformly using a static mixer before being introduced into the fixed-bed catalytic reactor. The operating pressure of the fixed-bed catalytic reactor is 0.1 MPa, and the space velocity of the reactants is 0.8–1.2 h⁻¹. -1 .
[0025] Furthermore, during the acylation reaction, heat is coupled through a reactive distillation column with a reflux ratio of 2~3:1, a top temperature of 51~52℃, a bottom temperature of 140~145℃, and a heat transfer rate of 80~100kJ / h.
[0026] Acylation is a strongly exothermic reaction. Conventional cooling can only remove macroscopic heat from the system, which can easily lead to local micro-overheating in fixed-bed catalytic reactors. However, the coupled heat transfer of reactive distillation columns achieves uniform heat transfer throughout the entire system through gas-liquid phase change and material flow within the column. This avoids side reactions such as isomerization and polyacylation of o-fluoroacetophenone caused by overheating and improves the para-selectivity of 4-fluoroacetophenone.
[0027] Unreacted feedstock is removed from the top of the distillation column, while a crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture is obtained from the bottom. The reaction process is solvent-free, avoiding solvent contamination and separation costs. Furthermore, this coupled reactive distillation process not only achieves heat transfer from the feedstock but also recovers unreacted feedstock from the top of the column, improving atom economy.
[0028] S3. The crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture is subjected to light-removal treatment and distillation treatment in sequence to obtain the 4-fluoroacetophenone product.
[0029] Specifically, the crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture is fed into a light component removal column to remove light component impurities in the system at 80~85℃, and then fed into a distillation column for distillation at 142~145℃; wherein the purification yield is ≥98%.
[0030] This process differs from the traditional segmented operation mode of reaction followed by separation. By using the continuous reaction in the fixed-bed catalytic reactor in step S2 and the sequential removal of light components and distillation in step S3, a closed-loop production system is formed.
[0031] Specifically, in step S2, the pretreated fluorobenzene and acetyl chloride are continuously fed into a fixed-bed catalytic reactor, where the acylation reaction is completed at 50-60°C. The resulting crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture can be directly transported to subsequent steps via pipeline, eliminating the need for intermediate storage and transfer, thus significantly shortening the production cycle. Simultaneously, the removal of light-boiling components in step S3 rapidly removes the byproduct hydrogen chloride and unreacted low-boiling-point raw materials, such as fluorobenzene and acetyl chloride. The removed low-boiling-point components can be recovered and returned to step S2 to participate in the reaction again, improving raw material utilization. Subsequent distillation specifically separates high-boiling-point impurities. The entire separation process requires no additional heating or cooling; the basic operating temperature can be maintained using the residual heat of the reaction system, resulting in lower energy consumption compared to traditional processes, thus balancing efficiency and energy saving requirements.
[0032] This preparation method, from raw material pretreatment to final product purification, does not use any organic solvents throughout the entire process, relying solely on fluorobenzene itself as the reaction medium. This avoids the problems of solvent residue and subsequent solvent separation difficulties associated with traditional processes that use organic solvents such as toluene and xylene. Furthermore, all steps in this process are completed within closed pipelines and equipment, such as the modified Zn in step S1. 2+The preparation process of the / Hβ zeolite catalyst is carried out in a closed manner, avoiding the volatilization of zinc nitrate solution and the fugitive emission of roasting tail gas. The fixed-bed catalytic reactor in step S2 adopts a sealed structure, which can effectively control the leakage of volatile raw materials such as acetyl chloride and fluorobenzene, as well as the reaction byproduct hydrogen chloride. After the removal of light components, the hydrogen chloride can be centrally recovered and reused, with no toxic or harmful gas emissions. The removal of light components and distillation in step S3 also adopt a closed design, with a collection device only installed at the product outlet.
[0033] The modified Zn prepared by this method 2+ The / Hβ zeolite catalyst was regenerated by calcination under a nitrogen atmosphere after 1200~1500h of use, followed by modification with Zn. 2+ / Hβ zeolite catalyst activity ≥95%; wherein, the calcination temperature is 450℃ and the time is 2h.

[0040] Example 3 This embodiment provides a method for preparing 4-fluoroacetophenone. The difference between this embodiment and Example 1 is that: Preparation of modified Zn 2+ / Hβ zeolite catalyst: The concentration of zinc nitrate solution is 0.8 mol / L, the solid-liquid ratio is 1:15, the ion exchange time is 3 h, and the calcination time is 4 h; Preparation of crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture: An acylation reaction was carried out at 50℃ to obtain a crude 4-fluoroacetophenone mixture; the operating pressure of the fixed-bed catalytic reactor was 0.1 MPa, and the space velocity of the reactants was 0.8 h⁻¹. -1 The temperature at the top of the column was 51℃, the temperature at the bottom of the column was 142℃, and the heat transfer rate was 80kJ / h.

[0043] The reaction products of this embodiment were tested, and the results are as follows: The conversion rate of fluorobenzene reached 95.3%; the selectivity of 4-fluoroacetophenone was 98.0% and the purity reached 99.4%; the content of the byproduct o-fluoroacetophenone was 1.0%; and the purification yield was 98.0%.
[0044] Comparative Example 1 This comparative example did not use modified Zn. 2+ / Hβ zeolite catalyst, other operations are the same as in Example 1; The reaction product of Comparative Example 1 was tested, and the results are as follows: The conversion rate of fluorobenzene reached 62.8%; the selectivity of 4-fluoroacetophenone was 75.3% and the purity reached 97.2%; the content of the byproduct o-fluoroacetophenone was 18.5%; and the purification yield was 78.6%.

[0048] Since conventional cooling can only remove macroscopic heat, there is obvious local micro-region overheating in the reactor, which leads to increased side reactions, decreased selectivity, and the inability to separate and recycle unreacted raw materials in situ, resulting in low atom economy.
