[0002] Chloroformate compounds are a kind of intermediates with wide applications, and are often used in the synthesis of pharmaceutical compounds, pesticide compounds, etc. There are various types of chloroformate compounds. In industry, chloroformate products are mainly prepared by reacting the corresponding alcohols with phosgene, and the kettle reaction is often adopted. A certain amount of alcohol is added into the kettle at one time, and then phosgene is introduced for reaction. This method has problems such as local excess of alcohols, uneven distribution of phosgene, poor mixing effect of raw materials, and affecting product quality. Therefore, in the prior art, a photochemical tower is used for reaction, alcohols and phosgene are continuously introduced from the bottom of the tower, the tail gas is discharged from the top of the tower, and chloroformate products overflow and are produced from the upper side wall near the top of the tower body. The inlet modes of alcohols and phosgene adopt a sleeve structure, and the gas-liquid cutting and mixing are realized by using the conveying pressure of phosgene. This feeding mode can optimize the mixing effect of raw materials to a certain extent and reduce the occurrence of side reactions due to local excess of alcohols. However, it only relies on the conveying pressure of phosgene at the feed inlet for gas-liquid cutting and mixing, and the effect is limited, and further optimization is still needed.

[0033] The working process of the chloroformate synthesis reactor of the present utility model is as follows:
