Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chemical equipment, and in particular to a continuous synthesis apparatus. Background Technology
[0002] 3,4-Dichlorobromobenzene is an important fine chemical intermediate with wide applications in the pesticide and pharmaceutical fields. It is a crucial raw material for the synthesis of 3,4-dichlorophenylboronic acid, a key intermediate in the fungicide bifenthrin. The most common industrial process involves the direct bromination of bromine with o-dichlorobenzene. Bromine is added dropwise to o-dichlorobenzene preheated to 45-60°C using iron powder or ferric chloride as a catalyst, or bromine is added dropwise to o-dichlorobenzene at 110°C using iron powder as a catalyst. After the reaction, distillation yields 3,4-dichlorobromobenzene.
[0003] Bromination is an exothermic reaction. Experiments have shown that at higher temperatures, bromine readily reacts with the product to form polybrominated products. Furthermore, as the reaction temperature increases, the selectivity of the bromide ion for the ortho and meta positions of o-dichlorobenzene decreases, leading to the formation of large amounts of 2,3-dichlorobromobenzene. However, at excessively low temperatures, bromine cannot react fully, resulting in a lower yield. Existing production facilities employ batch production, which facilitates temperature control and avoids the effects of excessively high or low temperatures. However, batch production is inefficient, while continuous production, besides being difficult to control in terms of temperature, also suffers from the problem of excessively high bromine concentrations at the dropping point, affecting the reaction of 3,4-dichlorobromobenzene.
